<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)
11. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

   Oct-24-25 Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006

OhioChessFan: I ran Deep Fritz's moves through an engine and they matched exactly! Clearly it cheated.

   Oct-24-25 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <Integ: These are the people the libs worship, and they want to force us to worship them too.> Our libs are button busting proud of what they've created.

   Oct-23-25 E Dervishi vs F Berend, 2004

OhioChessFan: I like the pun.

   Oct-23-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: Yes, Black played Qxa3. The only squares available for the Queen are a2, a3, b2 and d2. Probably Re3 is best but a random Rook move is likely winning too.

   Oct-22-25 E Spencer vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1926

OhioChessFan: <Bx> that was the only remotely relevant return on a Google search and I still don't get it. I was 95% sure going in it was a British reference.

   Oct-21-25 Lvov Zonal (1978)

OhioChessFan: Why does the bio say four would advance but names five?

   Oct-21-25 O Aharon vs P Arnaudov, 2012

OhioChessFan: "Ofir Pete's Sake"

   Oct-20-25 Memorable Quotes chessforum

OhioChessFan: From the politics page: <saffuna: Wordle was blocked early this morning!> <al wazir: Hacked?> <Willber G: That's too many letters.>

   Oct-19-25 V Mikenas vs Bronstein, 1965

OhioChessFan: Wow, thanks <NH>. That's it.

   Oct-18-25 G Skare vs M Jevtic, 2010

OhioChessFan: "Skare Tactics"

Jan-27-13		OhioChessFan: Congratulations to new Hall of Famers <moulicules> and <twinlark> and to previous honorees <SwitchingQyulthulg> and <NakoSonorense> I think <WinKing> is still looking for input on his prediction titles idea, so visit his forum for discussion. Thanks to <chessmoron> for running the show, <WinKing> for keeping an eye on the results <Switch> for the start reminders and all participants.

Jan-27-13		OhioChessFan: Previous Hall of Famers include: <chessmoron> <WinKing> <Robin01> <imag> <Penguincw> <OhioChessFan> <wordfunph> <SloVice> <lostemperor> <Golden Executive> <Ragh> <DCP23> <iron maiden> <sakii> <amadeus>

Jan-27-13		SwitchingQuylthulg: <chessmoron> <OhioChessFan> Thanks for holding this contest! And congratulations to all medalists :)

Jan-27-13		wordfunph: <OCF> <chessmoron> thanks! congrats to all the winners!

Jan-28-13		Travis Bickle: Elvis here's another great song you did! Always On My Mind http://youtu.be/88BMI5bkI-U

Jan-28-13		WinKing: I have updated the lists for all Hall of Famers(Gold medalists) in all three contests. Check my forum for details.

Jan-29-13		Robin01: Thanks for hosting this.

Jan-31-13		Golden Executive: Better late than never, thanks <CM> and <OCF> for hosting, also congratulations to all the winners and quoting <NS>: "boo to all the losers !" :) Thanks again and see you guys next time.

Feb-01-13		jessicafischerqueen: Congratulations to you and <McLovin> on yet another banner contest. I just wanted to thank you properly for taking the time to do such sterling editing work on the Petrov bio. I will attempt to update this bio now, so when I'm "finished" I will let you know and I hope you will again agree to edit? Johann Jacob Loewenthal

Feb-01-13		chessmoron: Thanks guys. Next tournament would be Candidates Tournament featuring Gelfand, Carlsen, Aronian, Kramnik, Radjabov, Ivanchuk, Grischuk, and Svidler.

Feb-01-13		WannaBe: <OCF> http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/01/opini...

Feb-01-13		OhioChessFan: Glad to help <jess> though I think the final edit is a cakewalk compared to the hard work of fact checking, etc. <Wannabe> I have to conclude God doesn't care about sports before I'll admit He loves the Yankees.

Feb-01-13		OhioChessFan: Didn't want to continue to litter <playground's> forum so I'll note here I don't believe in demanding apologies. That strikes me as akin to a teacher demanding 2 little boys who were fighting shake hands.

Feb-02-13		playground player: <Ohio Chess Fan> You have never littered my forum, and are always welcome. Speaking of apologies, one thing I truly hate is the endless groveling required of a public figure (unless he's a Democrat) who says anything objected to by any member of one of our pampered minorities. I dimly remember an anecdote along these lines. A member of Parliament said: "I said Lord So-and-so was a liar it is true and I am sorry for it. You pay punctuate the sentence as you please."

Feb-03-13		twinlark: Hi Ohio. Peter Leko

Feb-03-13		OhioChessFan: Sure hope this is a better game than the National Championship.

Feb-03-13		chancho: Rafael Cameron- Funkdown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Qw...

Feb-03-13		OhioChessFan: Turn out the lights, the party's overrrrrrrrrrr.

Feb-03-13		OhioChessFan: Didn't much care who won. Glad it was a good game, anyway.

Feb-04-13		twinlark: Thanks for your help on Lékó’s bio. Hope I didn't strangle the conversation with my premature valediction. Also, well done on the work you did with Jess on the Petrov bio.

Feb-05-13		OhioChessFan: <If true, the study, casts doubt on the idea that modern humans and Neanderthals co-existed – and possibly even interbred – for millennia, because humans aren't believed to have settled in the region until 42,000 years ago.> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...

Feb-06-13		Colonel Mortimer: God knows how this is supposed to support the theory that the world is 6,000 years old. You can only count up the ages of Old Testament characters once or maybe twice. Science, however, is always moving forward - and most importantly is always questioning itself. Another own goal I'm afraid <OCF>.
