 | | OhioChessFan: ****Welcome to the Dortmund Moves Prediction Contest****
This 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 Karjakin with White will defeat Kramnik in 40 moves, your entry would say: Karjakin-Kramnik 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. If you haven't done so, I encourage you to visit www.chessgames.com/~yourang and enter his games prediction contest. |

| | OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> are you okay with multiple rounds being picked? I can never remember if that's a problem. If it is, I'll try to repost the entries before each round on behalf of the entrants' previously made picks. And per the rules in my profile, if participant 2 scored 10 points, would participant 3 still score 7? |
|
| Jul-12-12 | | chessmoron: Not a problem. |

| | OhioChessFan: <All>, our Commissioner <chessmoron> is somewhere in a secret location in China, methinks, and operates on a different timeframe than most of us. He'll be around sometime to give us the first round update. <twinlark> the ELO's I had were a little out of date so I deleted that post. |
