Carlsen-Leko Rapid Match

The Rapid Match between GM Magnus Carlsen (Norway) ELO 2765 and GM Peter Leko (Hungary) ELO 2741 starts today in less than 2 hours 9:30am my time. I will post the games here as they finish, so check back now and then if you don't have access to replay servers. As I said on my website, I predict GM Magnus Carlsen to win. I hope I'm right!

As GM Leko is knows as the DrawMaster, guess how game 1 ended! It just finished.

RE: FTC Blogger Compensation Endorsement Rule Dec 01, 2009


While TransWarp Chess does get compensation for banner ads from Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Program, Commission Junction Affiliate Program and Allposters.com. TransWarp Chess does try not to personally Endorse any specific product, while I the blogger may like the idea of certain products and services, it is up to you, the reader to decide if a product deserves to be looked at via the ads. I comment on chess and computer chess, this blog is NOT about the products that are featured in the ads. At any rate, to date TransWarp Chess' blog and the small sister blog Paranormal Questions, has in it's account $1.59 from Google Adsense, no distribution of funds until $50.00, $0.00 from Google Affiliate Program and $0.00 from CJ Affiliate Program, $5.74 in holding at Allposters.com until $25.00 is reached in commissions. All this well over a year of blogging, I guess some abuse the blogging system to the point that this rule was made, I hope this satisfies the FTC regulation, as to what I heard on the site, it sounded like if the blog itself was dedicated to a specific product/s. But best to be safe.

Not much to say, a disabled dude who blogs when he can for fun and some spare change, really that's what it's been so far, spare change! But that's life, doing this helps it go by a little less painful by keeping my mind occupied. A tumbleweed would do that at this point :P Have fun and Take Each Day as a Gift!
