<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.

   Nov-07-25 Fusilli chessforum

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

Nov-30-11		OhioChessFan: Kramnik-Nakamura 1-0 37 Aronian-McShane 1-0 38 Carlsen-Howell 1-0 41 Adams-Anand 1/2 49

Nov-30-11		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> do you prefer people play one round at a time? I had thought you did but if it doesn't matter I'll quit mentioning that.

Nov-30-11		Robin01: Predictions for Round 1: Kramnik - Nakamura 1/2 38 Aronian - McShane 1-0 36 Carlsen - Howell 1-0 38 Adams - Anand 1/2 36

Nov-30-11		hedgeh0g: Round 1 Kramnik - Nakamura 1/2 40 Aronian - McShane 1-0 40 Carlsen - Howell 1-0 41 Adams - Anand 1/2 30

Nov-30-11		chessmoron: <Hey guys> If anyone is busy on other things during the London Chess Classic and may miss to predict a round, I advise that you predict some or all remaining rounds.

Nov-30-11		Penguincw: Here I go: Round 1 Kramnik - Nakmamura 1/2 42 Aronian - McShane 1/2 23 Carlsen - Howell 1-0 45 Adams - Anand 1/2 53

Nov-30-11		OhioChessFan: On second thought, I don't care if my ignore list keeps someone from participating.

Nov-30-11		OhioChessFan: http://www.spinner.com/2011/11/30/e... It ain't easy being a famous dead guy.

Dec-01-11		OhioChessFan: It appears YouRang chessforum will not be hosting a Games Prediction Contest, and I am still waiting to hear from lostemperor chessforum about a Final Standings Contest. I'll give an update if there's any status change for either of them.

Dec-01-11		OhioChessFan: Round one: December 3rd Kramnik - Nakamura Aronian - McShane Carlsen - Howell Adams - Anand Round two: December 4th Howell - Adams McShane - Carlsen Nakamura - Aronian Short - Kramnik Round three: December 5th Aronian - Short Carlsen - Nakamura Adams - McShane Anand - Howell Round four: December 6th Carlsen - Kramnik Adams - Short Anand - Nakamura Howell - McShane Rest day: December 7th Round five: December 8th Nakamura - Howell Short - Anand Kramnik - Adams Aronian - Carlsen Round six: December 9th Adams - Aronian Anand - Kramnik Howell - Short McShane - Nakamura Round seven: December 10th Short - McShane Kramnik - Howell Aronian - Anand Carlsen - Adams Round eight: December 11th Anand - Carlsen Howell - Aronian McShane - Kramnik Nakamura - Short Round nine: December 12th McShane - Anand Nakamura - Adams Short - Carlsen Kramnik - Aronian

Dec-01-11		JustWoodshifting: My 1st time at this, but I'll give it a bit of a go: Round 01: Dec03/11: a)Kramnik vs Nakamura: 1/2 41 b)Aronian vs McShane: 1-0 47 c)Carlsen vs Howell: 1-0 55 d)Adams vs Anand: 1/2 44

Dec-01-11		OhioChessFan: A not so gentle warning. Anyone who gets on my bad side by partaking of The Troop activities anywhere on the site will be blocked immediately. I don't care if we're one round from the end of the contest.

Dec-01-11		OhioChessFan: Ugh. Just remembered why the monkey isn't a good idea. Any wins would impact the scoring for everyone else. In <YouRang> contest, the standard and 123 rankers aren't impacted by anyone getting a pick right. In this contest, every right pick has an impact. Maybe I'll just keep a total of what the monkey does and let everyone know after the round instead of leaving it in the game and influencing the scoring.

Dec-01-11		twinlark: Round 1: Kramnik - Nakamura 1/2 41 Aronian - McShane 1-0 47 Carlsen - Howell 1-0 35 Adams - Anand 1/2 56

Dec-01-11		Shams: <Monkey Picker> I would have thought picking required opposable thumbs. When you have a chance I'd love to hear "Blackberry Blossom" or "Wildwood Flower".

Dec-02-11		OhioChessFan: Welcome to the London Chess Classic Moves Prediction Contest. The contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in a first round game you think Aronian will defeat Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say Aronian-Carlsen 1-0 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <YouRang> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. I think <chessmoron> does this by hand and mistakes occasionally happen. Let him know, on this forum. Quickly. It really isn't as painful to miss a round as it is in <YouRang> contest. The winners often have rounds they don't score a single point. So don't fret if you miss a round. Pay attention to the matchups and to the tournament strategy. For example, if a player has an insurmountable lead in the last round, you just might expect a very short draw. In general, it's better to be under the number of moves than over because of the scoring system, so keep that in mind. There are a number of other nuances that will occur to you as the tournament progresses.

Dec-02-11		bubuli55: Kramnik- Nakamura 1/2 41 Aronian-McShane 1/2 53 Carlsen-Howell 1-0 47 Adams-Anand 1/2 37

Dec-02-11		Knight13: <OhioChessFan> "It's all about the truth." Two words: Friedrich Nietzche.

Dec-02-11		Golden Executive: Round 1: Kramnik - Nakamura 1/2 46 Aronian – McShane 1-0 47 Carlsen – Howell 1-0 40 Adams – Anand 0-1 20

Dec-02-11		srgntshultz: How does one know if one is partaking of the troop activities?

Dec-03-11		OhioChessFan: If you find yourself blocked from my forum, that would indicate you're partaking of troop activities.

Dec-03-11		OhioChessFan: <YouRang> is a definite no and <lostemperor> hasn't been around, so those contests aren't running, alas.

Dec-03-11		HeMateMe: R1: kramnik/Naka 1-0 Aronian/McShane 1-0 Carlsen/Howell 1-0 Adams/Anand 1/2
