WORLD RAPID & BLITZ CH - DOHA 2016
The opening ceremony for this is Christmas Day but it properly starts on Monday 26 Dec with the Rapid Round 1 advertised start at 3pm local time which would be 6pm UK time. As you would expect its a star studded field in both the men's and the women's events. There will be many people putting a few quid on Gunina for the women's rapid I shouldn't wonder.

Probably a better bet than re-runs of the usual Xmas films on the telly. My lot have already declared that "there's nothing to watch". Funny that - with 200+ channels, sky box sets, netflix, etc. Without wishing to sound like a grumpy old man - I'm sure we all sat in a room and watched the Bond film, Where Eagles Dare, etc... and managed to spend the holidays together in the same room.
At present we seem to have managed to spread-out so that no two people are in the same room ...

I'm guessing there must be betting sites out there where you can put some money on the women's events but I can't find any either. The only other site offering odds I can see is this one and it's also just on the men's events. https://sports.bwin.com/en/sports/67/be ... sportId=67Joshua Gibbs wrote:do you know where you can bet on the womens?Chris Rice wrote: There will be many people putting a few quid on Gunina for the women's rapid I shouldn't wonder.

On the livestream page, but it's since been changed and Carlsen is now playing White against Ganguly.
