malthrope: Hi gang! :)
It's good to see everyone in a sparkling good mood (well, almost everyone). ~lol~ The final month of the Spring betting leg is sure to be exciting! :P
Anyway, while the world turns and the drama continues... Let's all pause for a little comic relief, shall we?! o_O
I'm proud to announce my <~Betting/Congrats Quotes of the Month~> selection for the month.
Drum roll please...

Posted my <Current Chess Events> ~June~ calendar (in my Profile) a few hours ago and the highlights are:
<"Summer has definitely arrived and we are treated to a bevy of fine Chess Tournaments and events. :) The Chinese Chess Championships (Men & Women) is now in progress (ends June 4th). Some of the highlights upcoming this month are the 11th Annual Poikovsky Karpov Tournament (June 2nd-14th) featuring a strong field. The XXIII Ciudad De Leon (June 3rd-7th) is next. A pure Rapids KO match event which features Levon Aronian, Boris Gelfand, Leinier Dominguez & Francisco Vallejo-Pons. Then the 1st Chinese GM Super Tourney (June 10th-20th) takes place with 10 top players. After that the world's #1 GM Magnus Carlsen returns and he will be competing at the 4th Kings Chess Tournament (June 14th-25th) in Banza, Romania along with Wang Yue, Boris Gelfand, Teimour Radjabov, Ruslan Ponomariov & Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu all competing in a double round-robin. Lots of tourneys to savor over and let's all sit back to relax & enjoy the 'heat' of the <SUPER GM> competitions! :D">
You'll find all the juicy details posted in my calendar. ;)
A piece of cake! :XD
All the Best, - Mal
PS: <Barok Espinosa: [...] 11th Karpov Tournament 2010 will decide the winner of this leg. [...] Good luck to everyone!>
Looks like it might end up being the <'Kings Chess Tournament'> with Carlsen & company! ~lol~ ;)
