<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

Feb-15-12		jessicafischerqueen: <nothing unfortunate in that> So it's good news then Ted! Excellent.

Feb-19-12		PinnedPiece: <OCF> If you don't have a favorite Irish group yet, I nominate Iona. Here is a song that admittedly is now 15 years old, but still good. <Here before my time walked men of faith and truth In a land that was dark they followed the way Bringing sweet light on an Irish day> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ8P... .

Feb-23-12		OhioChessFan: Are you depressed? No need for expensive medical treatment. Just listen to this song 3 or 4 times in a row. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvHK...

Feb-24-12		jessicafischerqueen: "No." (TM Ohio) heh it never gets old for me, brilliant. Whether I agree with a particular "two letter one liner" from you or not, never fails to make me smile. I find it's particularly effective when preceded by a really lengthy re-post.

Feb-24-12		Travis Bickle: Hey Elvis here's Clapton doin' a little country. ; P http://youtu.be/EivR78mrRFE

Feb-25-12		jessicafischerqueen: Thanks for your post on the admin forum today- I think that's likely to help matters.

Feb-25-12		cormier: this is my actual beleif today: <<<<<<<Message, 25. February 2012> "Dear children!> At this time, in a special way I call you: 'pray with the heart'.> Little children, you speak much and pray little.> Read and meditate on Sacred Scripture, and may the words written in it be life for you.> I encourage and love you, so that in God you may find your peace and the joy of living.> Thank you for having responded to my call."> <to Mirjana> ..... tks G

Feb-26-12		OhioChessFan: Pray more, read the Bible, find peace in God. We need a special revelation for that? That's already covered in the Bible.

Feb-27-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio Peacemaker> I will follow your advice, thanks for taking the time to give it. The last time I followed your advice very good things happened. I'll start by taking that day to cool off.

Feb-27-12		playground player: <Morphyeus> I'm not "protecting" <YouRang>; I'm protecting my forum. If I offered him any kind of "protection," I think he'd be insulted--and rightly so. What you two guys do elsewhere is none of my business. But I do insist on patience in my own forum. Otherwise the whole thing just will not work.

Feb-27-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Lee> I'd like some protection. If you offered me protection I'd feel good. Neither Mr. JFQ nor myself has ever underestimated the value of pgp protection.

Feb-28-12		playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> Y'know, Jess, here in Joisey we take pr'tection kinda serious, know what I mean? Be dat as it may, considuh y'sself pr'tected.

Feb-29-12		OhioChessFan: He would have been 54 today: Rossini-The Barber of Seville http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OloX...

Mar-01-12		OhioChessFan: <The database, limited primarily to games where at least one player is of master strength, begins with the earliest known recorded games and is updated with games from current top-level tournaments. Pgn's not available from the chessgames.com staff can be submitted for database update. > I think this would be better worded: The database <is> limited primarily to games where at least one player is of master strength. <It> begins with the earliest known recorded games and is continuously updated by the site with games from current top-level tournaments. The site also accepts submissions from members of historical games and also the members' own games.

Mar-01-12		hatsis: I will be intouch, I will try to jot downs more point of interest in the wiki entry for your review. Thanks for the accommodation.

Mar-01-12		OhioChessFan: Eliminating 3 words: <The database <is> limited primarily to games where at least one player is of master strength. <It> begins with the earliest known recorded games and is continuously updated with games from current top-level tournaments. The site also accepts submissions from members of historical games and also the members' own games.> I also liked the inclusion of an ELO rating to describe what master strength is.

Mar-01-12		hatsis: I like it. Perhaps we can eliminate the word <also> to be more direct. <The site <also> accepts submissions from members of historical games and <also the> members' own games.>

Mar-02-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> one thing's for certain, he will be back. If there's a pool on what his demeanor will be then, I'd like to choose "unrepentant and surly" if it's not already taken.

Mar-03-12		OhioChessFan: I'll go with "triumphant", with "at least 2 or 3 emails expressing their outrage at the travesty of justice perpetrated on me."

Mar-03-12		sevenseaman: Thanks OCF; you are a sport and support.

Mar-03-12		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> interesting- ok then we have a pool of two so far. What should we play for? A bun? Burritos?

Mar-03-12		hms123: <OCF> <jess> I will take "unrepentant and surly" for two tacos.

Mar-03-12		OhioChessFan: Current predictions: <jfq> and <hms> "unrepentant and surly" <OCF> "triumphant" 2 days to enter. First Prize is 2 tacos (soft tacos if I happen to win).

Mar-03-12		jessicafischerqueen: Excellent. The game is afoot.

Mar-03-12		crawfb5: I will go with <martyrlike>, but <all of the above> is probably the best bet.
