<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.

Ruby Tuesday Parody

Spacebar Masters

They would never tell their ELO
Their ratings just don't matter, they're so low
Their engines run all night
And they're not too bright
Don't you know
They're really slow

Goodbye, Spacebar Masters
Who could hang that name on you?
When you follow Rybka each move
Still I'm gonna beat you

Don't question why Fritz says Knight to c3
They'll tell you it's the only move for me
They just can't be forced
To play a move off course
What Stockfish said
They're engine led

Goodbye, Spacebar Masters
Who could hang that name on you?
When you follow Rybka each move
Still I'm gonna beat you

There's no need to think, I heard them say
30 plies on Shredder is the way
Hiarcs all the time
Quad core Dell
And you don't use your mind
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Spacebar Masters
Who could hang that name on you?
When you follow Rybka each move
Still I'm gonna beat you

Goodbye, Spacebar Masters
Who could hang that name on you?
When you follow Rybka each move
Still I'm gonna beat you

I Saved the World Today parody

Her move finds you like a bomb
From a variation way too long
You're pleading
Guys, there's nothing left to learn
Play this blunder and we burn
Try others...

Hey hey I saved team World today
Everybody's happy now
That Zhdanov's gone away
And everybody's happy now
We analyze and pray
Please vote my way…

There's a million lines to read
The AT branches - how they bread
I'm reeling
And a post has hurt my pride
That darn user - he's so snide
I'm seething

Hey hey I saved team World today
Everybody's happy now
That Zhdanov's gone away
And everybody's happy now
We analyze and pray
Please vote my way…

Hey hey the World team votes today
Everybody's happy now
Our Bishop's moved away
And everybody's happy now
It's a good move that we played
Vote went my way!

I see my little engine
Churning countless variations
Making me look ridiculous
With my endless ruminations

This just goes to show me
As you might all correctly assess
That I truly know nothing nor understand
This game I love, this game we call chess!

YMCA parody

Spacebar Masters

Young man, there's no need to feel lame
I said, young man, seek your fortune and fame
I said, young man, cause you're in a new game
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a group up ahead
I said, young man, they're all engine led
You can join them, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
They have everything for patzers to play chess,
Even if your game's a big mess.

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
You can act like you're good, you'll be a big star
Cause Rybka will take you so far.

Young man, are you listening to me
I said, young man, what do you want to be
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing

No man does it all by himself
I said, young man, take your Fritz off the shelf
And just load it, into your quad core
I'm sure he'll give you the right score

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
They have everything for patzers to play chess,
Even if your game's a big mess.

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
You can act like you're good, you'll be a big star
Cause Rybka will take you so far.

Young man, I once was a fish
I said, chess greatness was my biggest wish
I felt no man cared if I ever played
I saw my ELO start to fade

That's when someone came up to me
And said, young man, there's a place you should be
There's a group there called the Spacebar Masters
They'll turn your game from disaster

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
They have everything for patzers to play chess
Even if your game's a big mess.

It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
It's fun to play with the Spacebar Masters
You can act like you're good, you'll be a big star
Cause Rybka will take you so far.

Desperado Parody

Spacebar Master
Why don't you come to your senses
Your feeble defenses
Are so gone now
Ohh you're a hard one
I know that you've got your engines
But that silicon bingin'
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you try the wife of Peter, boy
She'll beat you cause she's able
Some Class C patzer is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine lines
Could be played upon your new Dell
But you only want the ones
Rybka gets

Spacebar Master
Ohhhh you ain't getting no better
Your game now is deader
Than an old folk's home
And talent, ha! talent
Well that's just some people yappin'
Your whole game is tappin' the spacebar all alone

Don't your fingers get tired from tapping on
Your brand new Fritz the whole day long
You start to think the voters have gone mad
And you're losing all your Knights and Pawns
Ain't it funny how the eval's gone
So baddddddddddddddd

Spacebar Master
Why don't you start analyzin'
Forget the horizon effect you chase
It may be harder but there's a whole team behind you You better let somebody teach you
(Let sombody teach you)
You better let somebody teach youuuuuuu
Before it's toooooo late

Satisfaction parody

I am just a spacebar master
And my game's a bad disaster
Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I am just a, spacebar master.

When I'm looking at my games
And the time has come for me to move
I am trying more and more
To use my own analysis
But I suffer from paralysis

I am just a, oh no no no!
What's Rybka say? That's what I play.

I am just a spacebar master
Nothing but a little patzer
Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
But I'm just a, spacebar master.

When I'm running Houdini
And then an idea comes to me
How great that sac would be
But it can't be too good cause Fritz says it's bad
And Shredder laughs at me

I am just a, oh no no no
What's Stockfish say? That's what I play

I am just a spacebar master
And my game's a bad disaster
Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
But I'm just a, spacebar master
Spacebar master baby
Spacebar master
Spacebar master now

Time Won't Let Me

I can't think for nothing
Even though I wish I could
I am such a patzer
Bet my head's made of wood.

[Chorus:]
Spacebar masters(oh, no)
Spacebar masters(oh, no)
Spacebar masterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs, wait that's wrong!

Can't you see I've analyzed too long
I can't think, my game is all wrong.

Ahhh...ahhh...ahhh...ah!

I can't think for nothing
Even though I wish I could
My game's such a disaster
Bet my head's made of wood.

Spacebar masters(oh, no)
Spacebar masters(oh, no)
Spacebar masterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs, wait that's wrong!

Run my Rbyka, run it so long
Here's my Fritz, he's never wrong,
Now my Stockfish, got 30 plies
And Houdini, just follow it, to win the prize
Don't you know I can't analyze?
Spacebar master I can't play, I'm no good
Tap my head, it's made of wood.........
