<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

Dec-08-11  chessmoron: It's funny from Round 2-4, I botched <HeMateMe> to <HeHateMe>.
Dec-08-11  Monkey Picker: Here are my picks for this round:

Nakamura-Howell 1-0 29
Short-Anand 1/2 54
Kramnik-Adams 1/2 29
Aronian-Carlsen 0-1 61

After my spectacular 2 jackpot round, I follow up with a shutout, with only one game result correct.

  OhioChessFan: Just over halfway home, and <HeMateMe> is leading in Moves Ranker and Moves Ranker #1's. <chessmoron> is leading the Bonus Ranker. Strangely, <HeMateMe> has no points in that category. <OhioChessFan> <chessmoron> and <HeMateMe> are in a 3 way tie for the Moves + Bonus Ranker. Everyone is on the board, with a low of 6 points being a bit above average. 4 rounds to go.

Fooled again. I was not fooled, however, by <McLovin's> notorious sock from the days of yore.

Merry Christmas Elvis! Will there be any Christmas music on your CD player?

  OhioChessFan: I've totally forgotten about my <Russian Grandmasters> sock. I have less and less taste for Christmas music and Christmas in general as the years go by, but in fact an Elvis Christmas album is as good as <any> music gets.

How to reason it out? Naka might be a bit impatient to extend his lead, and press too hard against McShane, who is most capable.

I may have to get <Mrs. Alekhine> to send you a stern post.

Yes I was just thinking about The King's Christmas outings, and let's not forget he's one of the greatest gospel singers too.
