< Chessgames Bookie: Games have started. > Thanks. ;)
< OhioChessFan: Thanks so much Penguin. > You're welcome. :)
And regarding <whiteshark>'s predictions. Since <chessmoron> <would> count his results, I will too. Thanks for letting me know of that. If you didn't, I probably wouldn't have counted them, as would be the case in <Golden Executive>'s contest. But at the same time, in this contest with every set of predictions you have nothing to lose, whereas in <GE>'s contest you could lose progress in Betting Ranker. Hopefully it doesn't affect the standings too much but we'll see. ;) |

 | | OhioChessFan: I will not be back until long after the results are posted, so as we wait, I wish to thank <chessmoron> as always for running the show. <Penguincw> for stepping up and keeping me from making a fool of myself again. <WinKing> for a lot of work behind the scenes, as a starter, collector of picks on his forum page, warning of the early start today, etc etc etc. <Switch> for being a starter and letting <juan> know about a bad pick and helping correct my scoring mistakes. Thanks to everyone for playing. I am hoping <cm> does Norway. |

| | WinKing: Not bad <Penguincw> you only forgot to add 1pt. to <Golden Executive>'s score. He had 100 pts.. You just added the 'Moves + Bonus Ranker' wrong. |
|
Apr-28-18
| | Penguincw: Ah thanks for that <WinKing>. To double check my work, I did make the correction on my unofficial version, but not on this one. But anyhow, congrats to <SwitchingQuylthulg> for the triple crown this time, and <Golden Executive> for stopping a 2nd consecutive quadruple crown. Congrats to all the other medalists. Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for hosting and scorekeeping for at least 1 round. Thanks to <Switch> for helping to scorekeep as well, and same goes for <WinKing> during this difficult time in your life. I'm happy with 4 silvers, and hope to see you all at Norway. |
|
Apr-28-18
 | | Golden Executive: Thanks a lot to the crew: <chessmoron>, <OhioChessFan>, <Penguincw> and <WinKing>. Great Job. Congratulations to all the winners and particularly to <SwitchingQuylthulg> on his Triple Crown. What a final round <Penguin>!!! Well done my friend. See you guys next time! |
|
Apr-28-18
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to the hosts and scorekeepers, and congratulations to the winners and medalists! Yes, that was a brilliant final round from <Penguincw>. Unfortunately I ran out of oomph in the last rounds this time :( |
|
Apr-28-18
| | WinKing: Thanks to <chessmoron> & <OhioChessFan> for running & hosting this great contest! Some top shelf commentary there <OCF>. You had me smiling. :) Congratulations to all of the medal winners! Another 'triple crown' by <SwitchingQuylthulg>...phenomenal! The Aztecs & Incas never had as much gold as this guy does. ;) Kudos to <Golden Executive> who had to work hard to get that final 4th Gold. Nicely done <GE>! Special thanks to <Penguincw> who stepped up & filled in for <chessmoron>
in the final two rounds. Great job on the scoring! You also had a monster
final round bagging 4 silvers. Not to be taken lightly! Hope to see you all for the Norway tournament coming up in about a month. |
|
Apr-28-18
 | | Count Wedgemore: Thanks guys, for another great prediction contest. I'm looking forward to compete again during Norway Chess, and do better there (I hope). See you then, my friends! |

| | OhioChessFan: ** Final Recap **
<Switch> carried through his strong performance to the very end, and came up just short of a second consecutive Quadruple Crown. <GE> heroically held on to claim the Bonus Ranker crown, to the complete relief of <Penguincw>. <Penguin> had a huge final round and ended up with a Quadruple Silver. Our crack research staff is investigating whether that's ever been done before. In other news, <chessmoron> was so taken by the beauty of Lima, Ohio, he may stay there. Nobody has figured out what Round "9:z" means in <offramp's> last round predictions, but wise people are leaving that one alone. <whiteshark> took advantage of a sleep-deprived <OCF> and picked only one game just to mess with him. Even worse, <OCF> didn't notice that <ws> hadn't been participating. Just to be spiteful, <OCF> is considering awarding <whiteshark> a Quadruple Clown. Apparently, <WinKing> didn't notice he wasn't participating, which didn't stop him from thanking everyone for the enjoyable contest. Thanks to everyone for playing and hope to see you at Norway. |

|
| Apr-28-18 | | bubuli55: That was a lot of fun. Thank you again to the organizers. < chessmoron > , < OhioChessFun > and < Penguincw >. Congratz to the winners! |
|
Apr-28-18
| | Penguincw: Ah, I knew I might've been missing someone in the standings. But I spared them the quadruple zero. ;) I actually had a brief dream last night about this contest. All I remembered is that all 5 games this round were predicted exactly correct by 1 user each (and by 5 different users). |
