<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

Dec-13-06		Domdaniel: <Ohio> A job, if you're interested. Tabanus goes on holiday before we vote on move 36 -- I think he said he'd be away after Friday. Would you then be able to watch his 36.Qf4 forum for a couple of days? Until Monday, most likely. I'll check with Tab and give you details tomorrow. Also: twinlark will take the helm again on Monday for a few days. Then I'll be free to do it thru Christmas and into 2007. 2007. Wow. Did I just say '2007'? "2007 - A Nickel Odyssey". Far out.

Dec-14-06		Domdaniel: <Ohio> Belay that - Tabanus will be available until Monday after all. But you're on top of my list of volunteers if anything else turns up. Thanks.

Dec-14-06		Domdaniel: Didn't somebody calculate, around 1890, that if current traffic trends continued all of Manhattan would be knee-deep in horse droppings by about 1930? Then, of course, Henry Ford got to work and invented the pooper scooper. So now you can ride your horse through the streets of New York in comfort...

Dec-14-06		Domdaniel: <Ohio> Thanks for offering to take over the running. Actually, it now seems to me that (a) there's probably not much to be done for a few days, and (b) I'd like more time to focus on the Q+R endings - I think I'm finally getting somewhere. But you know how even the routine info posts eat up time. So I have a suggestion - I'll make it to <twinlark> as well. If I could finish up tomorrow night (end Friday) it'd be great - leaving one of you two to post the reminders etc from Saturday on. I'll still be back the following Thursday to run thru Christmas. And you and twinlark can decide between yourselves who exactly takes which days. Does that sound OK?

Dec-14-06		OhioChessFan: Fine by me. I make a command decision to let Twinlark choose.

Dec-14-06		Domdaniel: That's cool. I haven't seen him around this evening/night/morning yet, but no doubt he'll emerge... He's like the L. Ron Hubbard of the Forum System, really. We should hang a portrait of the dog-in-shades in our rooms, and read his sayings aloud every day...

Dec-14-06		twinlark: I heard that! And in my loud impressive Ron Hubbard-type voice, let me say this: I'll do it. I'm happy to roll on with forum coordination till one of you feels like taking over again. I'm on leave, plus I'll be at home all day most days for the next few weeks.

Dec-15-06		Tabanus: If you need a permanently redundant forum, please let me know.

Dec-15-06		Domdaniel: And so spake our founder <twinlark>, with the mighty words <I'll do it>! Look into your hearts. Or buy this little gadget which does the looking itself and beams the result to Forum Org Central. Ask youselves: how often today have YOU said <I'll do it>? Uh, we're getting a read on that... let's ask the question again...

Dec-16-06		OhioChessFan: It's a shame Nike' co-opted the phrase "Just do it", for that's really the secret of life. As for today, I said "I'll do it" once, when I was deciding whether to give up housecleaning to watch a basketball game.

Dec-16-06		twinlark: That's awesome discipline. What's your secret?

Dec-16-06		OhioChessFan: LOL, what I meant was, I'd give up the housecleaning.

Dec-16-06		twinlark: I know. Should I repeat my question?

Dec-16-06		OhioChessFan: My deepest apologies, for underestimating you.

Dec-16-06		twinlark: You're gettng too damned good at insults...I had to think for a few seconds before I realised I'd been sideswiped.

Dec-16-06		OhioChessFan: Oddly enough, I had the same thought about you. You overestimated me somewhere.

Dec-16-06		OhioChessFan: LOL, does killing that message mean you don't promise to not overestimate me? Errr, ummmmmm, I mean........promise to underestimate me.......

Dec-16-06		twinlark: I don't promise not to never misoverestimate you and nor shall I never promise not to use multiple double negatives.

Dec-19-06		monad: Season's Greetings.

Dec-20-06		Boomie: I'm dumping my lines on all the forums, so don't feel singled out. The final position here demonstrates why I preferred b4 to Qd8/Qxe8.
