<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

   Apr-09-26 Chessgames - Music

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

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 - Politics

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

   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.

   Apr-07-26 Nakamura vs Caruana, 2026

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.

   Apr-07-26 A J Goldsby

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...

   Apr-04-26 Caruana vs Bluebaum, 2026

OhioChessFan: Really like the pun.

   Apr-04-26 Wei Yi vs Sindarov, 2026

OhioChessFan: Black's position looks really ugly with the fractured Pawn structure and King in the middle, but I don't see much for White to attack.

May-05-13		OhioChessFan: Thanks <cm>

May-05-13		OhioChessFan: **Welcome to the Norway Chess Tournament Moves Prediction Contest** This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in a first round game you think Aronian with White will defeat Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say: Aronian-Carlsen 1-0 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <YouRang> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. It really isn't as painful to miss a round as it is in <YouRang> contest. The winners often have rounds they don't score a single point. So don't fret if you miss a round. Pay attention to the matchups and to the tournament strategy. For example, if a player has an insurmountable lead in the last round, you just might expect a very short draw. In general, it's better to be under the number of moves than over because of the scoring system, so keep that in mind. There are a number of other nuances that will occur to you as the tournament progresses. If you haven't done so, I encourage you to visit www.chessgames.com/~yourang and enter his games prediction contest. And also visit www.chessgames.com/~lostemperor and his final standings contest.

May-06-13		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> and I will be watching for the pairings, but inevitably <YouRang> will be first to post them at yourang chessforum

May-07-13		WinKing: <juan31> you need to add the number of moves you think each game will take.

May-07-13		OhioChessFan: Marker for <chessmoron> First post of selections, <penguincw> on page 355.

May-08-13		twinlark: <Penguincw> You have mistaken put Hao twice in your first round draw prediction. Svidler's opponent will be Hammer. <Ohio> In case he misses this, I'm sure there's no doubt he meant Hammer.

May-08-13		Golden Executive: Round 1: Carlsen-Topalov 1-0 37 Anand-Aronian 1/2 34 Nakamura-Hao 1/2 36 Svidler-Hammer 1-0 36 Karjakin-Radjabov 1/2 36
