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-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 Chessgames - Politics    OhioChessFan: <HMM: OCF, do you ever have Elvis Fridays (everyone dress like Elvis) > No, never heard of it. <or taco Tuesdays to keep it lite in the mail room?

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.      Apr-08-26 Romanishin vs Marjanovic, 1972   OhioChessFan: Pretty good pun. Nice finish to the game.

Mar-03-13    waustad: I see Miami is playing at Akron Tuesday. It takes a little effort for an OU grad/faculty member to root for Miami during the season, but I guess it's time. One great memory about that rivalry was when Ron Harper came to the Convo. Before the game he walked right over to the student cheering/heckling section and talked to people and signed autographs. He completely defused a group of people who would have made his life miserable. Mar-03-13    WannaBe: <OCF> For your enjoyment: http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbefor... Mar-03-13    OhioChessFan: Thanks <Chancho> I was listening to a little Fatback at the library recently. <waustad> Miami might be better off sending their hockey team. I knew Ron personally, he had a really bad stuttering problem. It's mentioned sometimes, but it was (sometimes)worse than people might think. It was one of the greatest pleasures of my life to watch him play. <Wassabi> the only rival to The Dinette Set for best comic strip. Usually Rat is the one to break the 4th wall.

It's difficult to condense creation through Joshua just entering the Promised Land, but they did a good job. For those that missed the show, they presented the history of creation, the global flood (w/ Noah's Ark), Abraham and Moses. The beginning of the next show looks to be Joshua's conquest of Jericho. Mar-06-13    OhioChessFan: It was okay. It didn't realistically address the big problem in Sodom, skipped right over Lot and his daughters, didn't acknowledge that there was a barrier between Israel and Egypt before the Red Sea crossing, showed a crowd carrying Moses on their shoulders, negatory, showed the 2 spies in Jericho fighting when they pretty much just scoped out the city, all that for the sake of drama, okay. But I have no idea how you can address the history of Israel and not mention Joseph. Still, a good enough and close enough hewing to the facts that it's worthy of watching.
