<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: <Integ: Brown commie promises brown immigrants <free stuffs> paid for by white people. Got it.> This is so bad that even <HeMateMe!> is worried about government spending for the first time in his life.

Oct-20-11		NakoSonorense: You still use a CD player? That would have been great for Yu Lie

Oct-20-11		chancho: User: que ?

Oct-20-11		OhioChessFan: Yeah, I've been waiting for comments per the CD's. That's in my car. Although I am quite the high tech dinosaur. I'm on dialup, don't have a cell phone, have a 25 year old TV I rarely watch, no game system, no recording device beyond a broken VCR, ummm, other stuff I'm not remembering at the moment. I did have a post to the Yu Lie page about it. I'll search that out.

Oct-20-11		quantum.conscious: reposted from rogoff page <OhioChessFan: <zarg: The world is not full of scientists that try to "prove" a theory.. > I was nodding right along with you, mostly, until this line. I'll try to work with the definitions you used, and say I think the world is full of scientists that don't try to disprove a theory and will offer endless variant hypotheses in lieu of considering the original theory is incorrect. > i was waiting and now just checking (politely) if you still going to do this or you changed your mind , <OCF> thanks !

Oct-20-11		OhioChessFan: Yu Lie There's my post per my lack of high tech credentials.

Oct-20-11		OhioChessFan: <qc> I was quite surprised when <zarg> ended up agreeing with me. If you want to address the matter, I'm game.

Oct-20-11		NakoSonorense: I remember reading that you were on dial-up and didn't own a cellphone, but using a CD player in 2011 seemed too extreme! Although now that I think about it it shouldn't be. I bought a CD player late in 2001, and then got an MP3/CD player a couple of years later. It wasn't until 2007 when I bought my first and only iPod so far. It's not that long ago, but it sure looks that way.

Oct-20-11		morfishine: <OhioChessFan> On your comment on Today's POTD <Well......I guess it was easy for everyone else. I am not shocked it was an Opening move I failed miserably at finding> Yes, but while you got the Wednesday POTD correctly with exquisite ease, I overlooked the rank-pin. I doubt if "everyone" found today's "easy", especially if one looked at how much time one used to finally arrive at the solution.

Oct-21-11		crawfb5: <nako> So, what do the kids put in the car these days? Are there in-dash MP3 players or what? I wouldn't know, as I drive a 13-year old vehicle. I also have never had a cell phone, but that's mostly my aversion to phones in general. I rarely answer the house phone (it's rarely for me, so that works out). <Ohio> has me beaten on all the other tech counts. I have broadband cable (callerID shows up on the big plasma TV screen, so there's no need to rise from the couch to see who you should screen) bundled with phone service (take <that> Ma Bell and your demon offspring!). I have a wireless router and wireless printer server set up so we can take the laptops anywhere in the house. New technology should be useful to <me> if I'm going to adopt it. I feel very strongly about that. :-)

Oct-21-11		NakoSonorense: <crawfb5> There are a couple of options. If your car stereo is old, you can get a cassette adapter, hook it to your iPod or MP3 player, and get tons of music (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Car-iPo...) This is what I do when I drive my dad's car, although music quality is not that great. If your stereo has an auxiliary input, you can just get an audio cable and do the same (http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...) This is what I have in my car. If your stereo only plays CDs and it doesn't have an auxiliary input, you could always get an FM transmitter and hijack a frequency on your car's radio to transmit music from your iPod/MP3 player (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iPod-MP...) Personally I've never used this configuration, but I've been told that it works just fine. I'm not familiar with stereos on new cars, but I guess the setup is much easier.

Oct-23-11		OhioChessFan: On my dinosaurish CD Player today: Old Dinosaur Music, not as high quality as today's best like Lady Gaga Some old guy named Beethoven-9th Symphony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k81L...

Oct-24-11		WannaBe: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/eric-b... On an unrelated note, old joke: "You show me a composer's liquor cabinet, I'll show you Beethoven's Fifth!"

Oct-24-11		Travis Bickle: Here's some Southern Fried Rock for ya Elvis! ; P http://youtu.be/PvXh26UR0KQ - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Oct-25-11		Golden Executive: <Amusing the number of times someone asks what chess player would be Stravinsky. I think the best answer posited would be Korchnoi.> Why?

Oct-26-11		OhioChessFan: Oh my. I hope you don't expect a professional musician's or good chess player's perspective. I think the personality of Korchnoi and the way he was so difficult to control (not sure that's the right word)him.

Oct-26-11		OhioChessFan: On my CD player today: The Dillards Old Blue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Du... Cumberland Gap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHji... John Hardy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mq6...

Oct-27-11		Golden Executive: <OCF> Thanks for your answer, and you are right, my question was only for curiousity I am far away to be an expert about both disciplines. p.s. I enjoyed the Romantics song you linked. I hope you like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgtm... is another great rock and roll song.

Oct-27-11		Travis Bickle: Thanks Elvis for the link! ; P Here's another Southern rocker for ya. http://youtu.be/g9uuO3Bkzqk

Oct-30-11		cormier: Ps 131:1, 2, 3 <In you, Lord, I have found my peace.> O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor are my eyes haughty; I busy not myself with great things, nor with things too sublime for me. <In you, Lord, I have found my peace.> Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child. Like a weaned child on its mother's lap, so is my soul within me. <In you, Lord, I have found my peace.> O Israel, hope in the LORD, both now and forever. <In you, Lord, I have found my peace.>
