<OhioChessFan> Nor13:StdMvRnk(1) + BonusRnk(3) + StdMv/Bonus(1) + 1stRanker(1)
<Golden Executive> Nor13:BonusRnk(1) + StdMv/Bonus(2)
<twinlark> Nor13:StdMvRnk(2) + 1stRanker(2)
<lostemperor> Nor13:BonusRnk(2) + StdMv/Bonus(3)
<PinnedPiece> Nor13:StdMvRnk(3) + 1stRanker(3)
<Format>:
[player]-[player] [result] [# of MOVES]
==4 Different Scoring Methods==
Standard Moves Ranker (1st place-Over[3pts], 1st place-Under [7pts], Exact [10pts])
Bonus Ranker (3rd place-Over[1pts],2nd place-Over[2pts],3rd place-Under [5pts], 2nd place-Under [6pts]
Standard Moves/Bonus Ranker [Add all to together]
1st place Ranker [how many 1st place you have in Standard Moves Ranker]
For example:
<Note: Participants 3, 4, and 5 are predicated on nobody scoring an exact as Participant 2 did. If someone hits an exact, the closest score under and over will score the points for second place.>
Actual Game: [player]-[player] 0-1 45
Participant 1: [player]-[player] 1/2 45
Participant 2: [player]-[player] 0-1 45
Participant 3: [player]-[player] 0-1 44
Participant 4: [player]-[player] 0-1 43
Participant 5: [player]-[player] 0-1 46
Participant 1: No points even though 45 is correct. Results must be correct. If Result is wrong and moves # is correct...you get no points whatsoever
Participant 2: 10 pts rewarded for correct Result/moves #
Participant 3: 7 pts rewarded for closest under (1st-Under) to 45 moves
Participant 4: 6 pts rewarded for the 2nd closest under (2nd-Under) to 45 moves.
Participant 5: 3 pts rewarded closest OVER(1st-OVER) to 45 moves.
Again, the description of Participant 3, 4, and 5 are based on there being no exact prediction as made by Participant 2.

<IF> there is an exact or an under closest, the highest scoring over participant will be 2nd over. The second closest over will be 3rd over. The <ONLY> time there will be a first over is if there is no exact or under winner.

OhioChessFan: <DcG: So most chess moves help your own plans. Sometimes you have to make a move helping your opponent. And what if there are moves that neither help you nor your opponent? Logic will tell you, that these exist and that there you cannot find any logical reason supporting ...

OhioChessFan: Spurs should have fouled in regulation. Total stupidity. I really have to question the Spurs continuing to give the ball to Parker at the end of the game/overtime.

OhioChessFan: Missed the balk, angry about it, knew and forgot the bunt/infield fly, missed the batting order, thought the hitting team had to maintain the same order once it wasn't challenged.

Jun-18-13		OhioChessFan: No changes in the leaders today. A 9 round tournament seems mighty short. 4 rounds to go.

Jun-18-13		Robin01: Round 6 Predictions: Morozevich - Karjakin 1/2 36 Caruana - Kramnik 1/2 35 Andreikin - Mamedyarov 0-1 43 Anand - Nakamura 1/2 35 Gelfand - Carlsen 1/2 36

Jun-19-13		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 6 games have started.

Jun-19-13		OhioChessFan: In game update Caruana-Kramnik is a strange game where Kramnik needs to keep finding only moves to hold a Rook down draw. All the other games are fairly even, though Moro is a little better than Karjakin. Lots of time being used in the first 20 moves so there's always time trouble possibilities.

Jun-19-13		lostemperor: I believe I have a correct prediction there since Kramnik drew Caruana in 30 moves!:)

Jun-19-13		lostemperor: And so does <OhioChessFan> I noticed!;)

Jun-19-13		OhioChessFan: Congratulations on your fine prediction.

Jun-19-13		OhioChessFan: Curses. My last pick was the draw between Vishy/Naka and I almost took Naka for the win.
