See you there. This was a fun day.

bought แน€500 A game ends via thre... YES

didn't Nepo-Abasov just end in a threefold @Weezing

?

bought แน€15 A game ends via thre... NO

@diadematus That image doesn't seem to indicate that the game ended in a threefold?

@BoltonBailey Kd5/Kd4 is a standard draw king placement after players draw/claim a draw

@diadematus wait bruh I accidentally bet 790 on no because of that because it didn't happen in pragg's game

bought แน€10 A game ends via thre... NO

@diadematus Then why is Kd5 indicated as a move included in the lichess record of the game there? Shouldn't the record show the game ending in a draw without that as a move 63 for black?

bought แน€70 A game ends via thre... YES

I hope Weezing careful enough before resolving. Better to take your time.

yeah, I got confused too

@BoltonBailey because lichess is only transmitting the live moves from the dgt boards. this is standard shit...nothing confusing or controversial here

@harfe The game is a draw if a position occurs (at least) three times during the game. (Intervening moves do not matter.) It must be claimed by the player with the turn to move. The claim is made:

(a) If the position is about to appear for the third time, the player making the claim first writes their move on their scoresheet and notifies the arbiter that they intend to make this move.

- the game was an obvious threefold...only if you're not familiar with dgt board etiquette would you think otherwise

opened a แน€400 A game ends via thre... YES at 92% order

@diadematus well, I am the biggest YES holder so you don't need to convince me.

@diadematus Yea it was a threefold I checked the VOD, they repeated and called the arbiter. Even commentators said it.

@diadematus @BoltonBailey FIDE has the correct ending minus the customary king placement

@diadematus Yes, you're right, if you look at the tape you can see Abasov stop the clock before the arbiter puts the king on the square.

@kevin5050 Yea I am sorry about that, DGT boards can be kinda confusing. But correct resolution is YES.

I might send you some of it back tomorrow to make it less painful.

@Weezing Oh shit they deleted their account :(

@Weezing Well, seems they were banned, not sure why though or who banned them actually, seems deleting your account bans you

bought แน€10 Answer #2a0ce63bd3be YES

Very impressive defense from Abasov.

wow, what a crazy day

bought แน€10 Answer #5d2e8a62382d YES

@kevin5050 Yep, my prediction was completely wrong :D

bought แน€150 Answer #b3257ba05dc5 YES

this can resolve, abasov's a8 rook did not move

bought แน€10 Answer #406ab9cd33d6 NO

What about time added during time control? @brwa

bought แน€3 Answer #406ab9cd33d6 NO

@Weezing I had in mind "at any point after move 20, the time on Vidit's clock is > time on Gukesh's clock," so for example if Vidit makes a move, gains 30s, thus taking him to more time than Gukesh, it would resolve YES.

apparently I cannot bet this below 1.0%? Imo that would be a bad change from manifold.

bought แน€10 Answer #406ab9cd33d6 YES

@harfe Yea this is the recent change, because people usually use it when the event has already happened.
