WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  WannaBe: This befuddles me... For the Women World Cup, round of 16 play:

China v Cameroom 6/22 - US v Colombia 6/22 the two winners then play 6/26

Really short break for US, (Group winner).

If US had finished second in group play, they would face Brazil on 6/21 then play 6/27 (if US wins). Lots of rest...

Ugh.

  OhioChessFan: I just noticed your picks with <lostemperor> You don't have a 3rd, 8th, or 9th place!
Jun-22-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Multiple people in the same place, hence, no picks for 3, 8, and 9.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> I went back and copies this portion from the profile of <lostemperor>:

Here a format how to post your predictions

1. Nakamura
2. Carlsen
3. Topalov
3. Caruana
5. Grischuk
5. Anand
5. Giri
8. Aronian
9. Vachier-Lagrave
10. Hammer

Unless I really, really made/posted my predictions wrong...

  OhioChessFan: Okay, I went and checked and it appears <lostemperor> is dealing with it. What you posted was:

4. Caruana
4. Nakamura
4. Topalov
6. Aronian
6. Giri
7. Grischuk
10. Hammer

2. Anand
3. Caruana
3. Nakamura
3. Topalov
6. Aronian
6. Giri
8. Grischuk
9. Hammer

  OhioChessFan: The timing was funny. I was bringing it up this morning because I thought it would help you to have the 9ths for Hammer and VL. Then as I was posting, <le> posted and you were in first. I didn't want to mess that up so I deleted. Tonight I wanted to know so I did my best to figure it out for the first round, and I am pretty sure he's getting it right for you.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Yes, you are correct, I did miscount that 7th/8th...

Shoulda paid more attention to my prediction list before posting.
