Jan-29-17
| | lostemperor: After an exciting finish HOFer <Penguincw> came out on top twice in the ABSOLUTE anD PAIR BETTINGS (and a Bronze in the square ranker)!! <SwitchingQuylthulg>, who becomes a house-hold name in first Prizes took the Gold in the SQUARE RANKER and also took the second place in the prestigeous PAIR BETTINGS (and a Bronze)! He is approaching <WannaBe> in the Hall of Fame's Bests' list! <scout118> took the Silver in the ABSOLUTE- and SQUARE RANKER! Bronze in the ABSOLUTE RANKER goes to <Golden Executive>, who shows great form again with another HOFer <Keyser Soze> (and <SwitchingQuylthulg>)! <wtwz> neatly took the Bronze in the PAIR BETTINGS! |
|
Jan-29-17
 | | Penguincw: Wow, double crown (but of course only 1 gold medal). Yay! Up to 4th now in the HOF, and 7th straight year I've won at least a gold medal somewhere. I think I should stick to this new strategy, whatever it is. Congrats to <Switch> and all the other medalists, thanks to <lostemperor> for hosting, and see you soon. (perhaps Norway in June) |
|
Jan-29-17
| | lostemperor: Congratulations to all who finished above me (who is everybody)! I took a gamble especially on Nepomniatchi (by putting him second) but it did not work out! :o Fortunately for me <tuttifrutty> took very much risks although it almost paid off for him with several potential JACKPOTS, last of which after 11 rounds when WEI YI was above CARLSEN ;) |

Kudos to all of those fortunate enough to walk away with a medal! Congratulations to <Penguincw> on winning a double crown, no easy feat, well done! Also congrats to <Switch> on picking up some gold & he is slowwwly creeping up on the rabbit. Watch your back <WannaBe>. :o I always have fun here. Thanks again <lostemperor>. |
