 | | OhioChessFan: I really can't believe this tournament. Many tournaments, I don't happen to pick a decisive game, but at least considered it, sometimes a really hard decision whether to pull the trigger or not. This time, there are decisive games left and right I didn't consider for a second. |
|
| Jan-19-20 | | WinKing: <OhioChessFan: Such ridiculous picks can't possibly pay off.> Ahhh but they did. I laughed when I saw his picks <OCF> but it is <Diademas> who will have the last laugh. |
|
| Jan-19-20 | | WinKing: How many times did <Switch> used to low-ball us. That used to drive me crazy. |
|
| Jan-19-20 | | WinKing: Tomorrow, Monday, January 20th, is a Rest Day for the players. The tournament resumes on Tuesday, January 21st. |

| | OhioChessFan: ** Round 8 Recap **
The Mysterious Curse of <Winky's> Psych-ops continues. It is rumored that his mind games have impacted the entire game instead of just the leader. That round, we had 3 games where nobody scored! Even stranger, <Diademas> scored 19 of the total 76 collected by the entire group of contestants. And that was after he inexplicably picked like 10 wins and draws of 1 and 2 moves! Oddly enough, <Winky> appealed to <Switch> and his expertise at Lowball Poker to explain why it worked. Meanwhile, <amw> continues to shrug off all attempts to distract him and he still leads 3 Rankers. While he claims there is no distraction, it must be noted he <did> turn in an improper entry that round and was able to rush into the playing arena at the very last second with a corrected version. <chessmoron> continues to quietly lead the other Ranker, as quietly as someone 7' 6" can.In other news, <chnebelgrind> has started imitating <Winky> and is trying to distract <wordfunph> as he leads ChessBookie. <OCF> gave an Oscar worthy performance as a whiny contestant who thinks this game is just too hard. He was just getting started when <chessmoron> glared at him, and <OCF> realized at that point he should stop. We did manage to complete that round without any more fisticuffs. But <juan> and <Diademas> are still feeling the adrenaline, as both of them were reported to be saying they'd have given McGregor a better match than Cowboy did. It's a total madhouse here, and <chessmoron> "suggested" to the Tata Steel TD that the tournament take a day off. He wisely agreed, and all the contestants here can step back from the frenzied competition and regroup. Can <amw> and <chessmoron> hold on to their leads? Where will <Winky's> mind games strike next? Will we have any more contestants leave for an MMA match? Is it possible that <Diademas> has invented a new strategy that will take over the Prediction Contest the way analytics took over baseball? Stay tuned for the answers to these and many other pressing questions. 5 rounds to go in our exciting contest. |
