<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: Yes. A couple trivial lines. 1. Rb7+ Ka8 2. Ra7+ Kb8 is clearly a repetition. If Black underpromotes, the White Rook draws.

Jul-09-11  morfishine: <OhioChessFan> I was reviewing the Nakamura vs Goldsby game and noticed you were inveigled in quite a lively religious discussion that ran some pages. I will refrain from forwarding any opinion other than I thought you handled yourself quite well given the subject matter. Hope all is well. Best, Morf

  OhioChessFan: I actually watched a soccer game start to finish and didn't fall asleep. Amazing stuff. I can't get into soccer enough to care too much, but the better team lost. I didn't see the US-France game, but had a person tell me the better team lost that game too.
Jul-18-11  Gregor Samsa Mendel: That's why baseball is better than soccer. Nobody ever says that baseball is boring, and the better team always wins the game in baseball.

  OhioChessFan: A lot of truth in that, but the low scoring in soccer makes the one lucky goal scored/unlucky goal not scored that much more important.
Jul-18-11  Gregor Samsa Mendel: There's also a lot of truth in that. It's a problem with soccer only at the very highest levels--it was rarely an issue when I watched my son's varsity high school team play. Maybe it could be considered analogous to the problem with grandmaster draws in chess--in both, it's very hard to beat a top-level opponent who is only trying not to lose (as opposed with trying to win).
