<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.

Things To Look At:
1. Game Collection: 1975 World Junior chess championship
2. Ongoing edits Vladimir Ostrogsky
3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke

7. Baden-Baden (1870)

11. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

OhioChessFan: Strange game. I understand White's motivation to go on, but there was simply no chance of a break through and the pointless shuffling of pieces leaves a poor image. As <WhiteRook> mentioned, the 50 move rule would have been in effect at move 120. I'm pretty sure there was

Jan-29-12  WinKing: Great tournament <chessmoron> & <OCF> - thanks! Most of the participants received a medal. Nice to see the wealth get spread around like that. I really like this game as you can make up ground fast & it helps keep you in the game. Congrats to all the winners!

  Penguincw: Just one more question about this game.

< Golden Executive:...

The rule is: "there is no (first) under when an exact prediction take place". >

< Participant 2: 10 pts rewarded for correct Result/moves #

Participant 3: 7 pts rewarded for closest under (1st-Under) to 45 moves >

I'm confused.

  OhioChessFan: Oops, that is a mistake. I'll fix that one.
Jan-30-12  Golden Executive:

Thanks again <OhioChessFan> and <chessmoron> for hosting/running this amazing prediction contest.

Congratulations to all the winners and I just want to add that I am very impressed by <Robin01>´s performance, a three gold medal winner, predicting in a cluster-basis.

Jan-30-12  Robin01: Thanks for running. As always, great job <OhioChessFan> and <chessmoron>!

<Golden Executive>Thanks.

Jan-30-12  bubuli55: Thanks for the game < OCF > and < chessmoron > Enjoyed it. Congratz to the winners :)

  OhioChessFan: <YR: I entertain the slim hope that others who lean your way (e.g. <OhioChessFan>) might recognize these faults in you, and from them gain an understanding of the faults I find in them. They are generally the same faults, but to a lesser degree.>

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men (Men who are an affront to Christianity, men not like ME at all)--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector(OCF and Morph). 'I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' (I believe all the scientists and disbelieve the Bible, not because of what the Bible says or the scholars say but because of what the science scholars say)

Feb-13-12  PinnedPiece: Drat, missed another contest.

Another chance to make other people feel really good about how well they did!

I'll try to keep in touch here.

  OhioChessFan: LOL If you lose, you feel even more miserable. The strange part is I did fairly well here and was just about dead last in <YouRang> contest.
Feb-14-12  MORPHYEUS: I don't mean to be harsh to Playground Player <OCF>.

I made my last kibitz saying that abiogenesis/evolution is contrary to the teachings of the bible and if you are Christian with doubts you should seek the Spirit. That's it and Peace. I was going to leave his forum, but no, he was determined to give YouRang the last word.

I kinda pity him, coz he obviously was afraid that YouRang is going to leave his forum and I was actually trying to win <YR> back to his forum. So i made my supposed last kibitz, but he wouldn't allow me to make closure with peace.

Anyway. This is my last take on it. Peace, bro.

  OhioChessFan: <Morph> I do think you've been pretty harsh. I don't care much if someone is harsh to me, but I understand others being concerned about it.

I hate to speak of <YouRang> in the third person(and if you read this, <YouRang>, you certainly have unlimited access for rebuttal here)but I can say he absolutely sends my blood pressure through the roof. The constant demeaning references to "some Christians" meaning "OhioChessFan among others", the constant reframing of arguments "This is all about the interpretation of ONE verse", and the incessant self congratulations along the lines of (Not a quote but an interpretation) <I try to show the world that not all Christians are anti-science simpletons. Some are enlightened deep thinkers like me, harumph, harumph> are tiresome and the attitude behind it just screams through the words. In the bigger picture, I am on the same page as you and think it is dangerous to suggest the Bible doesn't mean what it plainly says regarding creation, and I have no intention of captitulating.

I don't think <PP> was worried about <YR> leaving.

Anyone who'd care to respond to me, feel free.

  playground player: <OhioChessFan> *sigh* If it ain't a photo-shopped mammoth, it's a rubber Diplocaulus in a bucket. Cryptozoology is a thankless pursuit: especially because, as soon as the cryptozoologist actually finds something, it ceases to be cryptozoology.

PS: It took me a long time to shed my belief in Evolution, and I try to be patient with Christians who aren't there yet. If some mistake my patience for wishy-washiness, I can't help it.

PPS: You should see what happens to my blood pressure, after I read certain posts. But I am committed to being patient.
