< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 185 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-17-10    Wrong: looks like that chessbookie players needs a refund Jun-17-10    malthrope: <wordfunph: <Wrong: <oh no!! looks like chessgames have made a mistake in the bazna pairings!!>> <Wrong> you're not wrong.. :) ChessBookie's 4th round sked: Yue-Radja Nisi-Carlsen Gelfand-Pono but based on chessbomb.. Carlsen-Yue Pono-Nisi Radja-Gelfand which one is right?> Yep, this is a total major bummer. :-( For the record <ChessBookie> is following the 'official schedule' (which is absolutely the right thing to do). The organizers of the Kings' Chess Tourney event switched the pairings on us from Rd #4 with Rd #5 without any warning whatsoever. They get 'thumbs down' from me for bad organizational skills. Unless, they can cough up a very good reason for what they've done. ~lol~ <<Recommendation:> All bets pertaining to the Bazna Kings Tourney, Rd #4 (June 17th) be fully refunded. Since whatever we were betting on was based soley on the tourney table and results after Rd #3 and not the newly inserted Rd #4. That situation no longer exist... o_O We got shafted! ~ROFL~> The new Bazna ballgame gets fresh bats, balls and gloves! ~lol~ Batter, batter, batter, batter, batter, batter - BATTER! :P - Mal PS: While we are at it one of these Capa Memorial pairings (Round #9, June 19th) is incorrect... Capablanca Memorial: Rd 9: Alekseev vs Short Capablanca Memorial: Rd 9: Nepomniachtchi vs Dominguez Capablanca Me,orial: Rd 9: Bruzon vs Alekseev Hint: Ivanchuk is MIA... I'll let someone else fill in with the correct info. I'm too steamed right now re: the Bazna pairings SNAFU. ~Arrg~ Jun-17-10    bluejay: Are all bets off for Round four given that the pairings changed? Jun-17-10    Chessgames Bookie: All fourth round King's tournament tickets have been refunded and the ninth round Capablanca memorial now has the correct pairing of Bruzon vs Ivanchuk. Jun-17-10    wordfunph: i slept early last night because of the wrong pairings and disinterested to watch the live games. Mrs. <wordfunph> wondered and told her the whole thing.. ..."good for your health" she muttered. thanks <CG Bookie> for the announcement! i lost $300 in Capa.. homestretch coming up guys, good luck to all of us! Jun-17-10    edsauced: Is the Capablanca memorial the last tournament of the spring leg? Jun-17-10    edsauced: I meant the Bazna tournament the last of the leg? Jun-18-10    wordfunph: <edsauced> maybe Bazna.. but let's wait for <CGB>'s announcement.. Jun-18-10    malthrope: I'll repeat this once more for anyone that may have missed it... ;) <"The new Bazna ballgame gets fresh bats, balls and gloves! ~lol~ Batter, batter, batter, batter, batter, batter - BATTER! :P"> Unless <ChessBookie> plans on entertaining us with a friendly betting game of <"Rock - Paper - Scissors"> the 'Bazna Kings Chess Tournament' undoubtedly ends it... "Good Luck" everyone! :XD - Mal Jun-18-10    Chessgames Bookie: Yes, fellows, the spring leg of the bookie championship will conclude with the Bazna Kings tournament. Good luck to everyone. Jun-18-10    wordfunph: thanks <CGB>.. 6 Bazna rounds left and Spring Leg is over.. goodluck to all! Jun-18-10    edsauced: Looks like Bruzon - Ivanchuk Capablanca memorial round 9 has a different closing time than the other two games of the same round, 8 hours later. Please fix it. Jun-19-10    4tmac: Sometimes you get The Bear.... Jun-19-10    Chessgames Bookie: <edsauced> Caught your warning on the earlier closing time of the Bruzon-Ivanchuk game too late to change it. Some punters might have missed an opportunity to wager on that game. Jun-20-10    Winter: Whoa! DrStrangemove is not a stranger anymore. Coming from No.37 yesterday, he's now safe at No.2. Big payoff from Calsen maybe? Jun-20-10    wordfunph: <Winter: Big payoff from Calsen maybe?> or from Pick3? we'll be glad to hear from <DrStrangemove>.. Jun-21-10    alcausin: my best win ever Capablanca Memorial: Rd 10: Dominguez vs Alekseev : Dominguez [cash in ticket] 300 YOU WIN! COLLECT 1314 7:2 4.38 1,314 Jun-20-10 =) Jun-21-10    wordfunph: bro <alcausin>, hope you visit <Winter> and <Chnebelgrind>'s forum...we discuss nothing but chessbookie.. :) Jun-22-10    Chessgames Bookie: The spring leg of the Chessbookie Championship ends on Friday, June 25. Good Luck to all! Jun-22-10    wordfunph: thanks you <CGB> for the announcement.. Jun-23-10    technical draw: Wow. I owe the loanshark $10,000. I don't have enough time to recover so I guess TD is dead meat. Jun-23-10    malthrope: <technical draw: Wow. I owe the loanshark $10,000. I don't have enough time to recover so I guess TD is dead meat.> <TD> - your best option perhaps is to put the dead meat into a "Crock Pot" along with a healthy broth & vegtables mix. Then set the temperture on all day s-i-m-m-e-r. :) If that fails to do the trick there is only one last chance... BET it all on <B-L-A-C-K> (if you know what I mean!). ~lol~ "Good Luck" to everyone. <*devilish 'betting grin' ensues*> - Mal Jun-23-10    Boratco: The only way I will not make it to top ten is if Carlsen falters his engine and Gelfand skips his birthday this year.:D Jun-25-10    wordfunph: last betting day of Spring Leg... let's all enjoy the thrill of ChessBookie, good luck to all! Jun-25-10    Boratco: I think, I am doomed and will face the final curtain, oh well, there is always the next leg. Goodluck, people.
