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.

Apr-16-26 S Sian vs F Sieber, 2023   OhioChessFan: I don't remember. I had seen this getting high ratings in the pun voting and almost commented on this page that I'd forgotten the reference. Google was no help as most referencess were back to the speculation on this very page. I was thinking it was a song in an animated movie,      Apr-16-26 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Frank Sinatra - More https://youtu.be/ZPPBlVPThL8?si=hEi...      Apr-16-26 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2014    OhioChessFan: Teim For a Pun Change      Apr-15-26 D Dardha vs K Alekseenko, 2024   OhioChessFan: Decent pun, brilliant final move.      Apr-14-26 C Sharp vs N Bernstein, 1949    OhioChessFan: Terrific pun.      Apr-13-26 World Championship Candidates (2026)    OhioChessFan: I always read it as Retire Born also and guessed the same meanings as <Fusilli> Likewise I misunderstood <Albertan> until it was clarified.      Apr-12-26 Chessgames - Politics    OhioChessFan: <Integ: The issue is not whether the cross was foreshadowed in prophecy (I agree it was), but whether its significance was already explicit, understood, and preached.> I don't agree that is the issue.      Apr-11-26 Stockfish vs Fire, 2014   OhioChessFan: I can't begin to understand this game. Nice pun though.      Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum    OhioChessFan: <Fortunately, we have almost the same taste. High on my scale are Wagner, Richard Strauss, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Sibelius, Verdi - well the list could go on. And there is hardly any work that has touched me more than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.> Belatedly ...      Apr-10-26 Honza Cervenka chessforum   OhioChessFan: <The moral of this story is that people should learn endings, and especially seemingly trivial Pawn endings.> Even at the Super GM level, the end games skills of many players are sometimes poor.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 293 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-03-12    jessicafischerqueen: <Big laying off bets> Sorry, according to Vegas rules you can't bet "all outcomes" and still get paid. As game host, <Ohio> will have to make the final decision, but I sense "no free tacos" in your future. This instructional video will explain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imOA... Mar-03-12    crawfb5: <Jess> There are never any free tacos in my future. Mar-03-12    jessicafischerqueen: <Big> well you're not alone. Take a look at the stats on that "No free tacos" video. It was uploaded last September. When I clicked on it, it had 0 views. I was the first viewer. The guy has uploaded more than 28,000 videos. The video was clearly taken with his cell phone off of his TV screen. That means he spends his entire life watching TV, taking video of random things with his cell phone, and uploading them even though he knows nobody will ever look at them. That's what I call dedication. Mar-03-12    OhioChessFan: My final decision is that <crawf> voted for <martyrlike> and made an extraneous comment about the viability of <all of the above> Therefore, the vote for <martyrlike> stands. Mar-04-12    hatsis: Hi, Ocf, I place a {Verify source|type=reprint} on inline citation 16 and 17 on the wiki entry because it is does not provide a link of the magazine articles. In line citations are needed for verification. Per wiki guidelines, verification is needed when citing references. If there is no link available, reprint of the article can be a substitute. Mar-04-12    hatsis: But then again, reprint can be a copyright infringement. Mar-04-12    hatsis: <The Chessgames.com database can be searched by player, year, opening, ECO code and result.[16][17]> Does not make a lot of sense to me, perhaps you can help me understand what it means? Mar-04-12    OhioChessFan: You can go to the homepage and do a search for games by the player of your choice. Just fill in the blank with Fischer, Tal, Lasker, etc. The search will return games for those players, that is, the subject of your search. You can do a search for games in the year of your choice. Say 2009. The search will return all games for that year, that is. the subject of your search. Likewise, you can do a search for a speicific opening, ECO code, or result (1-0 1/2 0-1 ) Perhaps it should read "searched by any combination of player, year...." Mar-04-12    OhioChessFan: I just reviewed the article and think the line about search is fine as is. I don't know the rules per Wiki about article links. I would be shocked if every article referenced on Wiki has its own link. That starts to get into the same realm as not including GM's in the article because they don't have a Wiki link. Mar-04-12    hatsis: HI, if you put an inline citation, ie, 16,17, that citation, when clicked, should go to the reference listed on the bottom of the page corresponding to ref 16 or 17. If it is a dead link, it is no good. If it has no link, it makes the reader doubtful, like where's the beef? Mar-04-12    hatsis: Gm's in the article that doesn't have a wiki entry can be link to their fide page to prove they actually a GM. Mar-04-12    OhioChessFan: Got ya. It may be an issue that magazine isn't yet online. I agree about the GM's. Mar-04-12    jessicafischerqueen: QUESTION: <I would be shocked if every article referenced on Wiki has its own link.> If it did, wouldn't that mean that 1. In order for each "linked link" to be referenced in turn, there would have to be an infinite number of internet articles online. or 2. The articles would just link back to each other in a gigantic circle, proving nothing other than they make a big circle. Given the number of dead links on chess wiki articles, what's wrong with linking notes to actual print sources? Are there any print sources besides <Howard's> article that mention <CG.com>? Mar-04-12    frogbert: jessica, here are a couple central articles answering most of your questions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:I... <Given the number of dead links on chess wiki articles, what's wrong with linking notes to actual print sources?> nothing. "Citations for books typically include the name of the author(s), the title of the book (in italics), the volume if applicable, the city of publication (optional), the name of the publisher, the year of publication, and the ISBN number (optional)," from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe... Mar-04-12    hatsis: References without valid supporting evidence can be challenged and if not provided can be removed. This is per wiki guidelines. This is the case of inline citation/reference 16 and 17. Typically, citation 1 was challenged a while back and the challenge was removed when the entry was updated. Mar-04-12    OhioChessFan: Okay, the references can be challenged. What's the end game here? Mar-05-12    hms123: <OCF> We have a winner!! (actually, two). Please send one taco each to <jfq> and <me>. Mar-05-12    OhioChessFan: I happened to check there before I came here and likewise concluded we had 2 winners. Mar-05-12    dakgootje: shouldn't you be sent half a taco each? Mar-05-12    OhioChessFan: <It was uploaded last September. When I clicked on it, it had 0 views. I was the first viewer.> It had 6 views by the time I got there. I think it's more interesting than "Charlie bit me finger". Mar-05-12    OhioChessFan: Depressed about voting tomorrow. Had to watch this to feel better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvHK... Mar-05-12    hms123: <dak> <First Prize is 2 tacos (soft tacos if I happen to win).> Do the math. Mar-05-12    OhioChessFan: Did <dak> sneak in and steal one taco? Mar-07-12    hms123: <OCF> In case there was any doubt: <You missed one. When you made your little "hit list," you forgot <FSR>. He certainly should have been in the group that was warned. But I am pretty sure you don't give a rat's ____ about being fair ...> was addressed to the admins at their forum.
