<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: <OCF: Ohhh, so you didn't care for a one sentence summary of your position. Got it.> <key: I didn't care for your one sentence of unadulterated horseshit either.> Not a peep when your fellow liberal did it. When I return the favor to make a point, your ire is ...

   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.

   Oct-08-25 C Shock vs P Rohwer, 1991

OhioChessFan: "It Was a Dark and Stormy Knight"

OhioChessFan: <The rain, in big drops, began to descend, and the thunder-peals, with louder and more deafening crash, to shake the zenith, till the long-protracted war, echoing from cavern to cavern, died, in indistinct murmurs, amidst the far-extended chain of mountains> Sounds like ...

Apr-06-13		jessicafischerqueen: I was just taking a closer look today at some of the more recent biography entries from <Doggimus> and the editing discussions in his forum. QUESTION: At what point in your education did you become skilled as an <Editor of English Writing>? Did you take literature and writing courses or did it just come naturally to you in the course of your general education? Anyways, to the both of you: User: blood User: eee User: good User: shoe

Apr-06-13		OhioChessFan: <QUESTION: At what point in your education did you become skilled as an <Editor of English Writing>? Did you take literature and writing courses or did it just come naturally to you in the course of your general education?> When I watched the moon landing, I was 8. I recognized the grammatical mistake of "one small step for man", and mentioned it to my parents. So, it was always there.

Apr-07-13		jessicafischerqueen: Interesting. So it should be "One small step for <a> man"? Isn't there some kind of argument over the exact content of what Neil actually said when he stepped on the moon? Apart from the bigger, and I might venture sillier, argument over the "fake moon landing" scenario. At any rate I'm very appreciative of your help in the two bios I wrote so far, and I hope to work with you again soon.

Apr-07-13		SwitchingQuylthulg: <jessicafischerqueen: Isn't there some kind of argument over the exact content of what Neil actually said when he stepped on the moon?> As usual, <snopes> has it covered :-) http://www.snopes.com/quotes/mrgors... http://www.snopes.com/quotes/onesma... :)

Apr-07-13		OhioChessFan: I knew Armstrong had claimed for years he had planned and meant to say "a man". It came up on the Rogoff page not long ago and I had mentioned my belief he'd said it and it was lost in transmission. Much of the Snopes article is dependent on the veracity/accuracy of the Grunman reps' claims, (Why can't you copy/paste Snopes? Grrrrrr.), and I'm really not buying the hesitation after the word "man" as a sign he knew he blew it. It's really hard to believe he didn't at least intend to say "a man".
