<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 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"

Feb-06-13		OhioChessFan: The blurb I quoted mentions humans "42,000 years ago" and you think I am trying to use that to prove the world is 6000 years old? Another own goal, I'm afraid <CM>

Feb-06-13		playground player: <Ohio Chess Fan> Very interesting post on the Neanderthal extinction. I'm an agnostic about the age of the earth: I don't believe the Bible admits only the interpretation that the earth is some 6,000 years old. But I'm also an agnostic about the reliability of various methods of dating ancient objects. It's not unknown for the same bone or artifact to be shopped around labs all over Europe until the discoverer gets the date he thinks is right. Some of my fellow Creationists are quite rigid about the 6,000 years. I can only reply that the Bible doesn't tell us how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden. Minus that information, our calculations must always be incomplete.

Feb-06-13		Colonel Mortimer: <OCF> <..the world is up to 11,000 years old. In terms of practical debate, the possibility can't be refuted.>

Feb-06-13		OhioChessFan: I didn't say the blurb was supposed to support the theory the world is 6000 years old. You are really out of your league here.

Feb-07-13		Colonel Mortimer: But you think the world is 11,000 years old. Not much difference with 6,000 when the entire scientific community puts it at approx 4.5 billion years.

Feb-07-13		OhioChessFan: Quit moving the goalposts. How could the blurb and link I quoted in any fashion support the earth being 6000 or 11,000 years old?

Feb-07-13		OhioChessFan: Fabulous bass line on that song <Chancho> I have to say, Funkysounds1 has a mighty fine pic.

Feb-07-13		chancho: Donald Byrd Street Lady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Me8...

Feb-09-13		Colonel Mortimer: <OhioChessFan: Quit moving the goalposts. How could the blurb and link I quoted in any fashion support the earth being 6000 or 11,000 years old?> You're right, it doesn't. But I'm sure you can forgive me for asking, given that the your arguments for a "young earth" are almost always predicated on the other side not living up to what you perceive to be scientific exactitude.

Feb-09-13		OhioChessFan: Yeah, I'll let you slide. If you care to see the very confident position of those who disagree with me, just do a word search of "Neanderthals" and see who comes out looking better.

Feb-10-13		Colonel Mortimer: Too cryptic for me. Plain English is my native language.

Feb-11-13		twinlark: <Ohio> Whenever you're ready: Michael Adams.

Feb-12-13		OhioChessFan: Are you kidding me? <A number of conspiracy theories have grown up surrounding the shooting that claimed 27 lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. Many of these theories don’t necessarily assert that the shooting didn’t happen, but all of them claim some amount of deception has been wrought on the American public as to what happened in Newtown, Conn., that day. Some go so far as to say the massacre was a joint government-media operation to shore up support for a federal assault weapons ban.> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...

Feb-12-13		stunningmove: Hmmm, age of the earth questions. The Bible starts out that "God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." That's how it starts. The heavens are in place, the earth is in place, there is water. How long was this period before day one of creation? Can folks using the Bible really date the earth? Not to my reading. Just my take on it.

Feb-12-13		playground player: With a "news" media for whom Job One is shoring up Democratic politicians and advancing their socio-political agenda, it can't be expected that they would accurately report news events. They have formed the habit of lying and spinning. So, naturally, as soon as they became aware of the shooting at Newtown, they rushed into print or into the airwaves with whatever rumor they heard first. As postmoderns who deny there's any such thing as objective truth, they don't mind any amount of inaccurate reporting. Whatever advances the Progressive cause is truth, to them. Even if it's a lie.

Feb-12-13		Tomlinsky: <pp> They're all lying regardless of political swing.

Feb-17-13		The Last Straw: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Feb-22-13		SloVice: <stunningmove> Genesis 1:1-5 reads: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day." The part which you quote is part of the first day, not some indefinite time period before creation began. Before the heavens and earth were created, there was only God. <playground player> No, we do not know exactly how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the fall. However, we can deduce that it was not all that long, certainly not hundreds, thousands or millions of years. Genesis 1:27-28 "So God created mankind in his own image,in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”" Adam and Eve were given commands after they were created. If they had waited too long to "Be fruitful and increase in number" they would have been sinning by not following this command. Since they did not have any children before the fall, it is reasonable to conclude they were not in the Garden very long before the fall.
