  FSR: The new leg ostensibly started on June 6, but there hasn't been anything to bet on yet?
Aug-08-21  mike1: I refuse to pay any type of subscription if this game is not coming back; full stop!
Oct-07-21  technical draw: The Bookie game was one of my favorite pastimes. Bring back gambling!
Oct-08-21  wallytherhino: Dear Chessgames Management,

Part I:

Please restart this game. I always loved chess as a kid, even though I am at best rated 1500. Chessbookie game entertained me through high school, college, the armed forces, and at every step of life after. The community is what made the game amazing. This game kept me interested and led me into other areas of chess mostly virtual, and some IRL chess.

Part II:

The game does not require a monetary prize. My favorite prize was when I won the one-year free membership. That membership allowed me access to opening book research, exclusive events, and a larger community within the site.

Part III:

For the sake of newer chess players please bring the game back.

V/R,

Wallytherhino

Oct-09-21  technical draw: I agree with <wallytherhino>. He was always a good competitor and the one to beat. (plus he was the only one with a real gambler name) So, again, find a good bookie and restart the game!

  moronovich: Anybody home ?
Oct-15-21  Messiah: <moronovich: Anybody home ?>

No.

Aug-07-22  chessplayer19: No more bookie game? No Tata Steel, no Channai Olympiad betting? No more bookie game?
Aug-08-22  Little Caezarz: Each time I post a message now, I get put back on KIBITZ RESTRICTION again so I waited awhile again. Why? We are punished for no reazon and then silenced again? Why some cannot speak and otherz go on and on? We get punished just for leaving a message.

There are few people on this station late tonite, so it's not for heavy use. Maybe 1 or 2 people read my message, not many at all late tonite. How many people are on KIBITZ RESTRICTION? It seemz the same dozen people do most of the talking and otherz are silent. It's like we are being weeded out selectively by Nazis.

Feb-12-23  Chesschronicle22: So chessbookie is finally returning in 11 Sep???!!?
Feb-13-23  Messiah: <Chesschronicle22: So chessbookie is finally returning in 11 Sep???!!?>

With an astronomically colossal probability, no.

Feb-13-23  diceman: <Chesschronicle22: So chessbookie is finally returning in 11 Sep???!!?>

9/11?

That's some start date.

Apr-05-23  Messiah: Come and play THE OFFICIAL BILL-DING PREDICTION CONTEST! Messiah chessforum

Dec-08-23  Messiah: ==== DECEMBER CHESS HUNT ====

In an attempt to reduce CG's corruption, I start a CHESS HUNT series. Entries of December:

1. Find a game which starts with 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5, and features 48.Qc2 Qb6

2. Find a game from 1974 that ends with 63.Rf4 1/2

3. White mates in 5:
