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-13-26 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Tab Benoit - Cherry Tree Blues https://youtu.be/zywljG5mP1U?si=wPI... Raging guitar work.      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.      Apr-10-26 offramp chessforum    OhioChessFan: Clint Black - Nothing But the Taillights https://youtu.be/VtJWpjMAKII?si=n6N...      Apr-10-26 P Lalic vs P Large, 2024    OhioChessFan: I'll go along with that. I wouldn't expect Black to hold.      Apr-09-26 Giri vs Nakamura, 2026    OhioChessFan: I'm trying to work this out from Giri's POV. Maybe he had a novelty prepared in the Englisch and Naka derailed it with 3...h6. Otherwise, he played for a draw while essentially needing a win.      Apr-08-26 chessgames.com chessforum    OhioChessFan: I didn't check each number, but this appears to be the highest in the sequence: User: outlookindia197jm All the 1_1 up to 191 have user names attached.      Apr-08-26 Caruana vs Giri, 2026    OhioChessFan: I guess nobody ever explained en passant to Fabi.

Moves Prediction Contest

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 312 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-22-12    OhioChessFan: Anyone participating in the Moves Prediction Contest is encouraged to enter the Games Prediction Contest at YouRang chessforum Sep-22-12    OhioChessFan: I also encourage entries into the Final Standings Contest at User: lostemperor Sep-23-12    OhioChessFan: My kingdom for some pairings.......... In the past, <chessmoron> has been willing to skip the first round if the pairings aren't publicized timely. He's on the other side of the world of most Chessgames.com users, so he has that to contend with. Sep-23-12    WinKing: Pairings found here: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... Round 1 Anand - Vallejo 1/2 36 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 36 Caruana- Carlsen 1/2 36 Sep-23-12    wordfunph: Round 1: Anand - Vallejo 1-0 45 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 42 Caruana - Carlsen 0-1 45 Sep-24-12    chessmoron: Anand - Vallejo 1-0 35 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 36 Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 36 Sep-24-12    Golden Executive: Anand - Vallejo 1-0 33 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 33 Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 33 Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: Thank you WinKing. I took one last look before heading to bed about 10 PM Eastern Time. To be fair, chessmoron, we should consider what % of participants get their first round picks in on time. Anand - Vallejo 1-0 43 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 28 Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 47 Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: Here's the pairings: == Round 1: Monday, Sep 24 Anand - Vallejo Aronian - Karjakin Caruana - Carlsen == Round 2: Tuesday, Sep 25 Vallejo - Carlsen Karjakin - Caruana Anand - Aronian == Round 3: Wednesday, Sep 26 Aronian - Vallejo Caruana - Anand Carlsen - Karjakin == Round 4: Friday, Sep 28 Caruana - Vallejo Carlsen - Aronian Karjakin - Anand == Round 5: Saturday, Sep 29 Vallejo - Karjakin Anand - Carlsen Aronian - Caruana Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: If anyone hasn't entered the Games Predicition Contest at YouRang chessforum I encourage you to do so. One easy way to play both contests is to make your picks here, copy them, paste them on YouRang's forum, and just backspace over the number of moves (I'm sure he'll accept entries with move numbers in them too). A few seconds and you have twice the chance for fame and fortune. Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: I also recommend the Final Standings Contest at lostemperor chessforum where you just post your expected final standings for the tournament. A quick and easy contest to enter. Sep-24-12    Barok Espinosa: Round 1: Anand - Vallejo 1/2 42 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 38 Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 47 Sep-24-12    lostemperor: Round 1 Anand - Vallejo 1-0 41 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2-1/2 40 Caruana - Carlsen 0-1 48 Round 2 Vallejo - Carlsen 1-0 44 Karjakin - Caruana 1/2-1/2 51 Anand - Aronian 1/2 23 Round 3 Aronian - Vallejo 1/2 52 Caruana - Anand 1/2 34 Carlsen - Karjakin 1/2 46 Round 4 Caruana - Vallejo 0-1 44 Carlsen - Aronian 1/2 46 Karjakin - Anand 0-1 54 Round 5 Vallejo - Karjakin 1/2 47 Anand - Carlsen 1/2 20 Aronian - Caruana 1/2 46 Thanks guys and good luck! Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: A hour and change until the games start. Anyone who might wander in after the first round, don't worry. It's relatively unimportant if you miss a round in this contest. There are many rounds the eventual winner doesn't score, so don't be afraid to join beginning with the second round. Sep-24-12    Robin01: Round 1: Anand - Vallejo 1/2 34 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 44 Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 56 Round 2: Vallejo - Carlsen 0-1 36 Karjakin - Caruana 1/2 42 Anand - Aronian 1/2 38 Round 3: Aronian - Vallejo 1-0 45 Caruana - Anand 1/2 48 Carlsen - Karjakin 0-1 62 Round 4: Caruana - Vallejo 0-1 43 Carlsen - Aronian 1/2 42 Karjakin - Anand 1-0 35 Round 5: Vallejo - Karjakin 0-1 38 Anand - Carlsen 0-1 37 Aronian - Caruana 1/2 55 Sep-24-12    Diademas: Round 1: Anand - Vallejo 1/2 43 Aronian - Karjakin 1/2 54 Caruana - Carlsen 0-1 74 Sep-24-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 1 games have started. Sep-24-12    OhioChessFan: Thanks Switch. Again, it's not too big a deal to miss a round in this contest, many entrants won't score a point this round, so don't hesitate to join starting in round 2.
