 | | OhioChessFan: ** Round 8 Recap **
The Chess World is watching closely, as <WinKing> continues his run for a Quadruple Crown. He leads 3 Rankers and is second in the other. <Switch> leads that Ranker, and is also within shouting distance of a Quadruple Crown. <chessmoron> and <GE> still haven't hit a #1 and continue to ugly up our scoreboard with the associated 0's. Can <WinKing> hit for the cycle? Will <Switch> hang on to the lead in Bonus Ranker? Can <Switch> have a big round to hit his own 4 banger? Can someone <please> help <chessmoron> and <GE> hit a #1? Stay tuned for the answers to these and many other exciting questions. Last round, for all the marbles, and the crowd rises.... |

| | OhioChessFan: ** Final Update **
<OhioChessFan> managed to escape the evil clutches of his employer at 4AM and discover that <WinKing> has won a Triple Crown. He took a silver in the other ranker, won by <Switch>, who added 2 silvers and a bronze. <offramp> had 2 silvers, <Penguincw> had a silver and a bronze, <sea otter> had 3 bronze, and <wordfunph> had a bronze. <chessmoron> and <GE> waited until the last round to hit a #1, so they got rid of the remaining 0's on our scoreboard, which had become a bit of an embarrassment. Thanks to <GE> for scoring and all the contestants for participating. |

| | WinKing: Thanks for a well run contest <Golden Executive> & thanks to <OhioChessFan> for hosting this prestigious event. Congratulations to all of those fortunate enough to win a medal! I had the opportunity, once again, to duel it out with <SwitchingQuylthulg> one of the best players in this 'moves prediction' contest. This time I was the one lucky enough to get the better of it. Next time, if there is one, it may have a different ending. I salute you <Switch> on a great contest! Look forward to seeing you all at the next event! |

| | WinKing: <chessmoron> if you can find the time it would be great if you could update the Hall of Fame stats. I'm trying to keep up with everything in my forum but the stats I have are pretty outdated - thanks. |

 | | Fusilli: Another useful endgame concept, which shows up in actual play more than most people think, is that you can't win with king, a bishop and rook pawn versus king if the bishop does not run on squares of the same color as the pawn's promotion square and the defending king manages to reach the promotion square. I benefited from that fact in this game (not in this database): Benedict Smail v Mariano Sana, US Open 2009
