 | | OhioChessFan: ****Welcome to the Tata Steel 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. We are eagerly awaiting the pairings that are supposed to be announced today. It is axiomatic in Chess that the tournaments publicize the pairings late and/or incorrectly. Tournament Director <chessmoron> is on the other side of the world, so the time difference complicates matters also. |
|
| Jan-11-13 | | Robin01: Looks like the pairings are now posted on the official site. |

Jan-11-13
| | OhioChessFan: ****Welcome to the Tata Steel 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 Leko in 40 moves, your entry would say: Karjakin-Leko 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. |

But I have to type the names, result, move #. When I try to shortcut it by eliminating result from participants that doesn't match or close to the actual result, I make mistakes. |
