< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 450 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-02-18    Annie K.: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... :) See 'Information' tab for exact schedule. But I'm not sure the White/Black allocation of the first game is a fact just yet. ;) May-02-18    WinKing: Thanks <Annie K.> they must have just put that up. I've been looking for it all day on Chess24. Yeah, as to who has white or black will have to be watched. They usually switch colors at the midway point also. Ok, as soon as we have some reliable information as to to who has what color I will post something. May-02-18    WinKing: I see all rounds are a 03:30. I'm assuming that is 3:30am(EST) chessgames time. May-02-18    WinKing: Found it: <"The drawing lows and technical meeting is hosted by chief arbiter,Women’s grandmaster Ms Anastasia Sorokina. After picking one huge chess set, it turns out Ju wenjun will play white tomorrow."> Source: http://china2018.fide.com/ Ju Wenjun has white in the first game according to the article above. We are in business. Not much time to bet in the first round but I will post it anyway. May-02-18    Chessgames Bookie: We are back in action. Place your bets! May-03-18    Annie K.: <WinKing> I think chess24 usually shows times in your (everybody's) own local time. To double check, there is also the "game will start in ___ hours" information in some layouts. May-03-18    Chessgames Bookie: <Annie K.: <WinKing> I think chess24 usually shows times in your (everybody's) own local time.> Yes, pretty sure your right <Annie K.>. That's what I've always thought. I stayed up for that 3:30am start of the WWC game 1 just to make sure things went smoothly. The game seemed to start a bit early like maybe 3:20am. So I backed the starting time up for game 2 by 5 min. to 3:25am just in case they start early again. I don't mind spotting the bettors 5 min. but not 10. ;) May-03-18    Annie K.: Heh... good work ;) May-04-18    Chessgames Bookie: Coming up soon(May 8-May 20): Capablanca Memorial 2018 GM Samuel L Shankland 2701 USA GM Lazaro Bruzon Batista 2664 CUB GM Aleksey Dreev 2653 RUS GM David Anton Guijarro 2646 ESP GM Aleksandr Rakhmanov 2635 RUS GM Yusnel Bacallao Alonso 2594 CUB http://caissadigital1921.cubava.cu/... http://chess-results.com/tnr351016.... May-05-18    Chessgames Bookie: There has been a change in the Capablanca Memorial line-up according to chess24 who will be covering the event. GM Iturrizaga from Venezuela will be replacing GM Yusnel Bacallao Alonso who is from Cuba. Capablanca Memorial 2018 GM Samuel L Shankland 2701 USA GM Lazaro Bruzon Batista 2664 CUB GM Aleksey Dreev 2653 RUS <GM Eduardo Patricio Iturrizaga Bonelli 2652 VEN> GM David Anton Guijarro 2646 ESP GM Aleksandr Rakhmanov 2635 RUS https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... This will be a double round robin event(10 rounds). Games will be starting @ 3pm(15:00hrs) chessgames(EDT) time on May 9th. May-05-18    Chessgames Bookie: In the Women's World Championship match there will be a reversal of colors in Round 5 according to the FIDE chart below. Also the games all begin @ 15:00hrs(3pm) China time(3am chessgames). I will adjust the start times for the remaining games. http://china2018.fide.com/en/compon... May-05-18    Dr Winston OBoogie: Without going through all the posts, who's the bookie this leg? May-05-18    Chessgames Bookie: I am. May-05-18    Dr Winston OBoogie: Lol. I mean which username? May-05-18    Chessgames Bookie: <WinKing> at your service. May-05-18    Dr Winston OBoogie: Ahh. Sorry <Winking> I thought you were having some time off, that's all. My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother :( May-05-18    Chessgames Bookie: Thanks <Dr OBoogie>. This takes my mind off of things. Kind of therapeutic. May-06-18    sydbarrett: I'm glad I don't need the loanshark now that i'm not that broke. That guy is a poopyface. May-06-18    sydbarrett: By the way thanks for the obscure bets available. I'll bet on ANYTHING. so keep it up thx May-06-18    WannaBe: If you want "Exotic Bets", we can have rolling bets, like Daily Doubles Example: What will be the results of Women Championship Games 5 and 6 Or Which game will have more moves: Women Championship Game 4 or Tiviakov-Korobov (If white plays and black resign, it will count as 0.5 move. Hence you can have 43.5 moves to 43 moves) etc... =) May-06-18    Chessgames Bookie: We'll have a few exotic bets during the Norway tournament. I'll pull out a few of my old ones like 'Lookie lookie @ my Rookies' & 'Knights vs. Bishops' plus I'll come up with a few new ones. These tournaments right now won't generate the chessbuck flow that Norway will. May-06-18    morfishine: Thanks <Chessgames Bookie> for keeping on top of things! Entertainment as it occupies our leisure time cannot be undervalued :) ***** May-06-18    sydbarrett: Exotic bets are cool too. When I said "obscure" bets, I meant betting on tournaments and players that are mostly unknown, e.g. this woman's championship, and the Nachovian tournament you are currently featuring. I also like to bet on TCEC. May-07-18    Chessgames Bookie: The Women's World Championship is turning into an 'all out brawl'...outstanding! :) May-08-18    sydbarrett: Dam I fell asleep before I could place bets. I'm obsessed with making as much chessbucks as I can in this life Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 450 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
