[T]Vestax September 7 2005 11:57 PM EDT

Undertow has asked for an illegal chess move. But it seems to me what he wants is to move the knight at Queen's Bishop 3 to Queen _5_, which happens to be Queen 4 from the perspective of the Black team. I will wait for confirmation.

Undertow September 8 2005 1:00 AM EDT

confirmed.

novice: you didn't specify which pawn was to capture, but I assume Verifex got it right? whichever one it was, my move is the same.

king, one to the right.

Well this is the second time that the white team has stalled their move and thus have stalled the entire game. If we were counting pieces then one might assume that they have already lost the game. Either way their unwillingness to make a move has resulted in their forfeit of the prizes.

I am glad to say then that we have a winner. This took much longer then I had ever hoped but I suppose that is just the nature of chess when played among players very distant from each other. Thank you everyone for playing and for placing bets. I will be distributing prizes as soon as I make the proper calculations.

[T]Vestax September 26 2005 12:13 AM EDT

If your wondering the winner is the black team.

[T]Vestax September 26 2005 12:26 AM EDT

The total prize money was $150,000 and was split evenly among the entire Black team.

[T]Vestax September 26 2005 12:39 AM EDT

The odds placed against the black team winning was 4.909 to 1.

WastedDeath bet $5,000 and will receive $24,545
Twistedness bet $10,000 and will receive $49,090
Iono my name bet $5,000 and will receive $24,545

Well it seems that little mistake will cost me a good sum of money from my own pocket. Had I figured it in correctly, you would have had a piece of everyone else's money. I'll get the total sum of $122,725 to you when I can spare it. Sorry about that.

good game. overly prolonged, yes, but still a good game.
thanks for organizing this Vestax.
