<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)

Dec-05-12		morfishine: Good afternoon <OhioChessFan>! Again you've been burdened with "All other Moves" for the Black Side. I'll bet you a nickel that Black plays an "other" move than whats been assigned, namely <29...Qf8>. All others (Nf8/Rf8/Bc7/Qe7) are so bad, I just can't imagine him playing. But its not just <29...Qf8> that gives Black hope, but an immediate <30...c5> that offer a chance. This is the critical position after <28.Nf1 Rf7 29.Rfh3 Qf8 30.Ng3 c5> click for larger view If White takes the c-pawn: (1) 30.bxc5 Bc7 32.Nh5 Bxe5 33.dxe5 Nxe5 click for larger view Black threatens 34...Nxd3, 34...Nxg4 & 34...Qxc5 If White ignores the c-pawn (2) 30.Nh5 cxb4 31.Nxg7 Qxg7 32.Rxh6 Rc8 33.Rg6 Rxc3 34.Rxg7+ Rxg7 35.Qd1 Bxa5 click for larger view These are just some examples that show we must move with extreme caution

Dec-05-12		morfishine: Or, if White ignores the c-pawn, black can capture the d-pawn: <31...cxd4> 32.Nxg7 Bg5 33.Nxe6 Nxe5 34.Nxf8 Nxd3 35.Rxd3 Raxf8> click for larger view This doesn't look quite as strong as capturing the b-pawn, also, Move-order may be sloppy, but at the least, we want to avoid this if we can

Dec-05-12		stunningmove: <morph> you can be counted on to find these unusual lines. Yes Qf8 in combination with <c5> may be a problem. White has some options I may have time to look at this evening, Qg6, f5 in addition to what you've worked on.

Dec-05-12		stunningmove: <morph> don't forget black may reverse the move order as well, 29...c5 then 30...Qf8. I don't have a chess set handy but that is possible.

Dec-05-12		morfishine: <stunningmove> Thanks for looking. I believe <29...Qf8> needs to be played first, primarily to disguise <30...c5>, but also to cover <g7> If 29...Qf8 <30.Qg6> then 30...Bg5...but even after 30.Ng3 <30...Bg5> still works...in the short term :)

Dec-05-12		tbentley: tbentley: 29...Qf8 30. Ng3 c5 31. Qg6 and apparently black's best is to sacrifice the exchange, which doesn't end his troubles. Rybkav2.3.2a.mp.x64: 1) 31...Rxf4 32. Bxf4 Qxf4 33. Qxe6+ Qf7 34. Qc6 Qf3+ 35. Kg1 Ra7 36. Ne2 Qf7 37. Rf2 Qe8 38. bxc5 (+4.14, 18 ply) 2) 31...Rf6 32. exf6 Qxf6 33. Qe8+ Nf8 34. Nh5 Qf7 35. Qxf7+ Kxf7 36. dxc5 Nd7 37. Re2 g6 38. Ng3 (+4.79, 17 ply) 3) 31...Nxe5 32. dxe5 Rxf4 33. Bxf4 Qxf4 34. Qxg7+ Kxg7 35. Nh5+ Kf7 36. Nxf4 Bg5 37. bxc5 Rc8 38. Rf3 (+4.81, 17 ply)

Dec-05-12		tbentley: 29...Qf8 30. Qg6 Bg5 31. Qxg5 looks good.

Dec-05-12		morfishine: Thanks <tbentley> I completely overlooked <31.Qxg5>...silly of me

Dec-05-12		DcGentle: Well, I guess <tbentley> is right, White will have no problems. I'll show a line. :-)

Dec-05-12		morfishine: Hey <OCF> Sorry to bother you with all this nonsense, <Qg6> is just too stong Now, I really wonder why he doesn't resign The best for Black that I can get out of <29...Qf8> is 30.Ng3 g5 31.Rxh6 Qg7 32.Rg6 Nf8 33.Rxg7 Rxg7> click for larger view But, thats no blockade

Dec-05-12		PawnSac: < But, thats no blockade > nope, white just continues with f5! and blacks game is as miserable as ever.

Dec-05-12		morfishine: <stunningmove> Yep, its all over for Black...there's just no way out...I should probably take a couple days off away from chess...I'm starting to see double...If VA can find a way out, it will be truly amazing...

Dec-05-12		morfishine: <stunningmove> & <OhioCHessFan> I did find something amusing in that continuation <29...Qf8>...I think you might like it: <28.Nf1 Rf7 29.Rfh3 Qf8 30.Ng3 g5 31.Rxh6 Qg7 32.Rg6 gxf4 33.Rxg7+ Rxg7 34.Bxf4 Nf8 35.Qf3 Be7 36.Nh5 Rf7 37.Qg3 Ng6 38.Rf2 Bh4> click for larger view Its sort of delightful, in its own macabre way

Dec-06-12		Travis Bickle: Hey Elvis, remember this recording you made way back when? ; P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_A... - The King

Dec-07-12		MarkFinan: OCF...I just want to apologize for a comment i directed at you yesterday on the So page... I misread your post to be defending the pinoys and their delusions as I was angry with Jim Bartle for singling me out as the ONLY person who laughed at,mocked, Wesley So's recent performances, when that's obviously not true... Anyway I don't wish to get into a rant about all that in your forum so i'd just like to apologize for my post addressing you...

Dec-07-12		chancho: Ohio Players O.H.I.O. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaoW...

Dec-08-12		optimal play: If 30...c5 then 31.bxc5 Nh7 32.Bxh6 gxh6 33.Rxh6 exf5 34.gxf5 Raa7 35.f6 click for larger view Black cannot survive.

Dec-08-12		OhioChessFan: <Travis> I think my Christmas stuff may be my best work. <Mark> no problem, those people would drive Mother Teresa to drink. <chancho> I never met any of the Ohio Players, but they were really accessible, and a lot of my friends met them. <optimal> I don't think Black will play that line, but we should be thorough and ready for any moves. Thanks for the analysis.

Dec-09-12		jessicafischerqueen: Thanks for this- it means a lot to me, although I confess I liked all the other ones you and <caucho> found as well. <User: soviet User: Russian User: USSR User: siberia User: The Russian> Merry Christmas!

Dec-11-12		chancho: User: Hiya User: WinKing

Dec-11-12		optimal play: Hi <OCF> I've just enjoyed your latest song parody <Trollin' on the So Page> and must conclude that your work is as good as the classic MAD Magazine "Sing Along With MAD" a vintage piece of musical satire re-printed in paperback for many years. <"Sing Along With Mad," a collection of parody lyrics which the magazine said could be "sung to the tune of" many popular songs."> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_(magazine)

Dec-12-12		OhioChessFan: Grrrrrrrr. It's worse to get close and get stuck than not have a clue.
