<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

OhioChessFan: <arek: They never will, because they'd rather watch their grannies stabbed than ever admit that Trump could do anything right. It is beyond pathetic.> <saffuna> at least has acknowledged the situation. As for the rest of the libs, time to ignore them.

   Oct-14-25 S Takacs vs Alekhine, 1927

OhioChessFan: Qb1/d3 makes a bad impression. Throwing a tempo away to Alekhine has the expected results.

   Oct-14-25 F Oro vs Carlsen, 2024

OhioChessFan: "Faustian Bargain"

   Oct-13-25 F de Cresce El Debs vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2012

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun, great game.

   Oct-10-25 Knaak vs Velimirovic, 1972

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun.

   Oct-09-25 Lasker vs Capablanca, 1935

OhioChessFan: 66YO Lasker taking it to Capa... unbelievable. Among the usual suspects for GOAT, I think Lasker is the most unappreciated.

   Oct-09-25 Rodan Keiter

OhioChessFan: Excuse me, Paul Bunyan never fought Rodan.

Mar-28-13		chessmoron: Carlsen - Ivanchuk 1-0 35 Gelfand - Svidler 1/2 26 Aronian - Kramnik 1/2 42 Radjabov - Grischuk 1/2 30

Mar-28-13		bubuli55: Carlsen may have to win his game v Ivanchuk tomorrow assuming Aronian/Kramnik is a draw. Or if the standings stay the same. Carlsen plays Radjabov / Svidler the last 2rounds while Kramnik plays Gelfand / Ivanchuk. I'd say it favors Kramnik. He might be able to catch up Carlsen. Ivanchuk's play has become a big factor. Of his 11 games, his first game with Carlsen stands out. Today he had a short draw. We shall see tomorrow. :)

Mar-29-13		tpstar: Round 12 games have started. =)

Mar-29-13		OhioChessFan: Thanks <tp> Wild day today. Carlsen and Aronian lost with White, in 90 and 62 moves respectively. Gelfand-Svidler was a 41 move draw, and Radja-Grischuk drew in 87 moves. 2 rounds to go!

Mar-29-13		OhioChessFan: As a result of a bribe to Gelfand and Svidler, <OhioChessFan> managed to hit an exact instead of one move over. Don't look now, but Elvis is in first place in <3> categories. <WinKing> quietly slipped into the lead in Bonus Ranker. Slight typo in the results, as Carlsen-Ivanchuk was a 90 move game. Nobody hit it anyway.
