My steem balance is zero, as promised.
Congratulations to all the winners of the chess match. Please check my wallet to confirm all of the liquid steem and SBD I've picked up from all sources since the match started, has been divided up between

Announcing my next game, and auditioning for players.
I'm delighted to announce that steemit will be holding it's first game of Monopoly, and we'll be playing for real money. Source Posting the chessmatch gifs and running commentary really put my face out

My observations from running the chessmatch
I'm calling the chessmatch a success, for several reasons. Financially; It raked in around $600. Half of which will be paid out to my opponents, relative to the popularity of their proposed moves. (I've

That was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, I'll post a round up of my thoughts and observations, and all of the gifs together in one post. Upvotes on today's post will also go into the pot, which is just over $300 assuming a 20c steem

Armen's sniffing at blocktrades' heels, with his support, which is actually pretty great.
To think that armen's move is clearly the favourite, but blocktrades is upvoting it anyway, risking his lead... It's only a couple of dollars, since they've each agreed to divvy up the pot, but its still

Assuming steem at 20 cents, I'll be handing out $250 worth
I'm not drowning in options on the chessboard any more, and we've certainly seen an influx of new players, which is just great. I'll put together a reflection on the game, as well as all the gifs strung

Three quality contenders, tied at 2 upvotes each.
It may hold up the match by another 24 hours, but its a good opportunity to resteem yesterday's post, and maybe get some more traction on the leaderboard. They're 3 excellent options, (one is particularly

I've added in the dollar estimates, and blocktrades is now playing for 3 figures.
Can't say I've ever played a chess match for these kind of stakes before. While victory would mean a bigger payout for me than for any of you individually, I've already kind of won, considering the obscene

To be clear, all of my steem dollars are in the pot, too.
My wallet shot up to around 600 steem, then ground to a halt. Took me far too long to realise we're being paid in steem dollars again, instead of regular steem. Just to clarify, although I technically

Why does everyone keep implying I'm done for?
Sure, given the opportunity, I'd spin the board around in a heartbeat, but there's life in the old dog yet. My beautiful wife's having a blast on holiday. Does that dolphin look a little stoned to you?

Now my boy wants a cut, for shooting the gifs.
So Dad, while Mum's away, you need me to hold the camera. Are you going to get me something nice for helping? While I'm not being shaken down by an opportunitistic son, I like to watch brendio assemble

That was a close one. I refreshed at exactly midday, and armen was still in front, with 3.
Its interesting to see the collaboration going on, with players trying to explain their moves well enough to be upvoted, but perhaps not so well that I get a sneak peak into the future. I'm sure this match

I love adding a new name to the leaderboard. Welcome @immarojas.
This match has sort of been all about me, so far. I'm the handsome face in the gifs, the common foe, and the one who will be taking home all of that sweet, sweet steem when your King falls. So to balance

Not quite the hand gesture I wanted to make, but good sportsmanship won out in the end.
Bittersweet today. I lost my queen, but I also hit the top of the trending page for the first time, which is very exciting. Trying to save her has really kept me up at night, so part of me is glad we can

Tomorrow will hurt, but today is still fun.
A long time ago, I underestimated an opponent, and overcommitted my queen. I had confidence, I had nerve, I had trash talk, but I didn't have skill. Source I don't know what her future holds; but it won't

Preparing to say goodbye to a queen, and breaking the top 1000
I thought I had some options, until I realised I was in check. She can still make them pay dearly, but her ankle's broken, and she's going to hold them off as long as she can. On a positive note, this

When I started this match, I was hoping somebody would get really involved and passionate about the outcome. When I sat bolt up-right at 4 this morning, thinking about the game, I realised it was me. I

I keep hearing my queen's going to get taken, but I keep seeing her on the board.
Our three heavy hitters, armen, blocktrades, and brendio, have all opted to 'share the wealth' in the event of a black win (steem divided up proportional to total upvotes received). This is great news

If I'm hosting and running this match, why do I suddenly feel like a passenger?
Original on Youtube I only just realised the seriousness of my Queen's circumstances. For this move at least, my game is on rails. I can't see any way I'm going to keep her, but I'm hoping she takes some
