<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: Pretty cool. Is the French typical for you? I know some players try it against a stronger opponent just to slow the game down. If 26. Rxa3, then 26... c1(Q)+ 27. Ke2 Nxd4#

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

Oct-08-09  SirChrislov: Thank you Sir<OhioChessFan> for running my Schloss game through Fritz. many of these line are new to me, impressive! you see I haven't gotten the chance to analyze it with a top-of-the-line engine. if you wouldn't mind letting it analyze the entire game up to endgame, and posting its analisis on my forum, it is most appreciated.

What kind of a conspiracy is this? You ignore the Tal Memorial too? It's the STRONGEST TOURNEY of 2009. It features not only Kramnik, but EVERYONE else too -- Carlsen, Anand, Aronian, Morozevich, etc. etc. EVERY TOP PLAYER in the World except Topalov.

Why ignore it?
