International Blitz Tournament – Qld. take 3 of the top 5 placings. Well done to Yi Liu!

January 27, 2023 by Rohan Pyne

Once betting agencies wake up (hello!!) that you cannot cheat OTB in Bullet Chess, we will have another Fischer type boom, times 10.

Question: Which are the two biggest Chess Nations on Earth now?

Answer: India and China.

Question: Which are the two biggest Betting Nations on Earth now?

Answer: India and China.

—————————-

Eventually someone will work out that once you exclude OTB cheating, you can bet on:

Which opening?

Win, loss or draw?

Mate by which piece?

How many pawns will be left at the end?

Will there be any promotions? etc. etc.

One day events are the way of the future. IPL Cricket will morph into IPL Chess.

99.9% of the World’s organized chess is now 5 minutes or less on the clock.

All that remains is for it to be monetized times 1,000 via betting.

Chess is already a multi-million dollar sport online – now get ready for the boom!

You heard it here first!

Good to see ChessChat is maintaining the rage about restrictions on some tournament in NSW.

Way to go fellas! The whole nation is waiting for the outcome of this riveting subject.

Wake me up when you decide……….whatever it is. Oh and keep me posted on the runner’s second sample.

Finger on the pulse as always.

BTW There was an International Chess Tournament played in Australia yesterday – if you are interested.
