<Format>:
[player]-[player] [result] [MOVE]
==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: 2 pts rewarded closest OVER(2nd-OVER) to 45 moves.

<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: <The handwriting is on the wall, at least Black had the good sense to call it quits before White subjected him to a rather simple "edge-of-the-board" checkmate.> From someone who made a GM checkmate him! ROTFLOL

OhioChessFan: <Clone Factory, a Japanese start-up that specializes in 3D printing human faces, will meet you halfway. That's right, for a mere $1,300, the factory will print your face and put it on a doll's body, or it will capture the likeness of a cherished pet. > ...

   May-25-13 Paul Truong

OhioChessFan: <We will not back down until the board majority apologizes for their conducts and behavior. > Did that happen? <They know that I can prove everything I said.> I guess she's been too busy with other things.

OhioChessFan: I think the Hard Left slant of Chessgames.com deserves a different voice. I do tire of it sometimes, totally, and leave it alone.

Jan-29-12		OhioChessFan: Thank you <chessmoron>. Congratulations to <Robin01> for winning 3 golds, <chessmoron> <GoldenExecutive> and <SloVice> for winning one each. All 3 were already Hall of Famers. Thanks to everyone for playing.

Jan-29-12		Penguincw: Awesome! Five medals (4 gold, 1 silver) in 2 full tournaments. :) Thanks to <OhioChessFan> and <chessmoron> for hosting, I enjoyed it, congratz to the winners, and see you next time! BTW: Did you update the Hall of Fame?

Jan-29-12		wordfunph: grats to all the winners and thanks to <chessmoron> and <OCF>!

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!

Jan-29-12		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.

Jan-29-12		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 :)

Jan-30-12		SloVice: Thanks <OhioChessFan> and <chessmoron> for the contest. Congrats to all the winners and other medalists.

Feb-07-12		morfishine: Hello <OhioChessFab>! Good to hear from you! Hope all is well! Here is the link to the short 5-minute video on Visualization by Dan Heisman: http://webcast.chessclub.com/previe... I think will need to register with the ICC to get full access to all of the material. I'll follow up with <Patriot> on that. Later, Morf

Feb-13-12		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. .
