<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. Carl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

13. Brian Flowers

Dec-09-11  chessmoron: <Penguincw> I know I mispelled your user name twice today. So I correct the second time on my program so the 2 points you had today goes to <Penguincw> rather than the two mispelled ones.

  Penguincw: Yes! I'm leading MOVES+BONUS RANKER now and in contention in MOVES RANKER. Not to sure about BONUS RANKER though. Two rounds left.

Round 8
Anand - Carlsen 1/2-1/2 35
Howell - Aronian 1/2-1/2 40
McShane - Kramnik 1/2-1/2 46
Nakamura - Short 1/2-1/2 37

Another all draw round is predicted.

  OhioChessFan: Monkey Picker had another dismal round, scoring one point in the Aronian/Anand game. I will update after next round.

For now, 2 rounds to go. <HeMateMe> and <Penguincw> are on top of 3 of the categories, while HOFers <OhioChessFan> and <wordfunph> share the lead in Bonus Ranker. <OhioChessFan> is currently hitting his head on the wall after his 3rd (4th?) time of being one move over a perfect.

Dec-10-11  wordfunph: <chessmoron>

please check my bet, thanks.

<wordfunph: Round 7

Kramnik - Howell 1-0 42>

Dec-10-11  Golden Executive: <<OhioChessFan> is currently hitting his head on the wall after his 3rd (4th?) time of being one move over a perfect.>>

Twice to be exact (round 1 and round 7 because of Howell) but <OCF> is not alone, <GE> is also hitting his head on the wall for the same reason (round 1 and round 6 because of Kramnik).

Dec-10-11  wordfunph: Round 8

Anand - Carlsen 1/2 38
Howell - Aronian 0-1 38
McShane - Kramnik 1/2 38
Nakamura - Short 1/2 42

Dec-10-11  hedgeh0g: Round 8

Anand - Carlsen 1/2 40
Howell - Aronian 0-1 40
McShane - Kramnik 1/2 40
Nakamura - Short 1-0 40

Dec-10-11  chessmoron: <wordfunph> I'll correct it in the next round.

Anand - Carlsen 1/2 35
Howell - Aronian 1/2 39
McShane - Kramnik 0-1 50
Nakamura - Short 1-0 37
