<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. Carl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

13. Brian Flowers

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun.

OhioChessFan: Here's a couple nice songs by the tenor Stanley Turrentine. No surprise that besides jazz, he played on some funk and fusion songs. Midnight and You https://youtu.be/BIhO2Tq2f40?si=9fP... Sir Duke https://youtu.be/O4uo8pq1kzM?si=nI5...
 
   Apr-09-26 Giri vs Nakamura, 2026 (replies)
 
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.

OhioChessFan: Who really cares as long as they keep voting for Democrats?

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 (replies)
 
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.
 
   Apr-07-26 Nakamura vs Caruana, 2026 (replies)
 
OhioChessFan: <ge: Both players got both of their Rs to the 7th rank, Caruana even got there first, but it was so, so much more effective for White> Naka got the check in first.

OhioChessFan: Sounds like great fun. 😂. Just reading about being in bumper to bumper traffic makes me want to scream at the world. It drives me crazy. Maybe not quite Falling Down crazy, but close. https://youtube.com/shorts/TNYA4QbD...

OhioChessFan: Really like the pun.
