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.

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.

Moves Prediction Contest

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 356 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Not sure why Norway is generating so little buzz in the prediction contests. <lostemperor> entries are down over a third, <YouRang> has half as many as the last tournament and we've got about half of last tournament's entries here. For anyone who hasn't done so, I encourage heading to www.chessgames.com/~yourang and enter his games prediction contest. And also visit www.chessgames.com/~lostemperor and his final standings contest. May-08-13    Robin01: Round 1: Carlsen - Topalov 1/2 45 Anand - Aronian 1/2 35 Nakamura - Wang Hao 1/2 42 Svidler - Hammer 1-0 34 Karjakin - Radjabov 1/2 40 May-08-13    PinnedPiece: Round 1 08.05.13 15:00 CET Carlsen -Topalov 1/2 52 Anand -Aronian 1-0 52 Nakamura -Wang Hao 1-0 52 Svidler -Hammer 1-0 52 Karjakin -Radjabov 1/2 40 Round 2 09.05.13 15:00 CET Topalov -Radjabov 1-0 41 Hammer -Karjakin 0-1 41 Wang Hao -Svidler 1-0 41 Aronian -Nakamura 0-1 41 Carlsen -Anand 1-0 41 . May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Last call, <chessmoron> and <Switch> And <juan31> still need number of moves. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Games have started. May-08-13    lostemperor: Anand - Aronian 1/2 in 33 I came one move short:( Sept points s'il vous plaît. May-08-13    lostemperor: Oh I see now that almost everyone, <twinlark, Golden Executive, penguincw, WinKing> and <Robin01> were also as close as or almost as close. Seems like 33 moves more or less was the obvious choice for Anand - Aronian. Swell :) May-08-13    chessmoron: Round 2 09.05.13 Topalov -Radjabov 1-0 Hammer -Karjakin 0-1 Wang Hao -Svidler 1/2 Aronian -Nakamura 1/2 Carlsen -Anand 1/2 Round 3 10.05.13 Anand -Topalov 1/2 Nakamura -Carlsen 1/2 Svidler -Aronian 1/2 Karjakin -Wang Hao 1/2 Radjabov -Hammer 1-0 May-08-13    chessmoron: I will miss Round 1-2 results but keep your predictions going. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: In game update: Carlsen-Topa drew in 51 moves, and Vishy-Aronian drew in 33. Naka beat Hao in 42 moves and Karjakin defeated Radjabov in 41. Svidler looks good against Hammer 50 moves in. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Svidler converted the win in 58 moves. 3 decisive games in the first round. 8 rounds to go. May-08-13    Robin01: Round 2 predictions: Carlsen - Anand 1/2 43 Topalov - Radjabov 1-0 37 Aronian - Nakamura 1-0 62 Wang - Svidler 1/2 35 Hammer - Karjakin 1/2 43 May-08-13    WinKing: <OhioChessFan> I have tried to copy the way <chessmoron> scores the contest in my forum. Of course my numbers are unofficial also. I do a step by step process so as to cut down on missing anything. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Wow, we're way different. Do you know that if 3 people tie for first under, the next closest counts for second under? May-08-13    OhioChessFan: Oh, I recognize what I did. I used a sort of template, but reversed the Svidler and Karjakin games. Makes a huge difference. May-08-13    WinKing: <OhioChessFan: Do you know that if 3 people tie for first under, the next closest counts for second under?> Yes <OCF>, there were not a whole lot of unders. May-08-13    WinKing: I also listed what everyone predicted. That makes it a whole lot easier. May-08-13    OhioChessFan: I am going to delete my post then. It's wrong all over the place. May-08-13    Penguincw: < 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. > Yikes! And for the record, yes I mean Hammer. Not sure if it matters, but I'll just repost with that one name change: Round 1: Carlsen-Topalov 1-0 36 Anand-Aronian 1/2-1/2 35 Nakamura-Hao 1-0 41 Svidler-Hammer 1/2-1/2 38 Karjakin-Radjabov 1/2-1/2 27 And for the next round Round 2: Carlsen - Anand 1/2-1/2 33 Topalov - Radjabov 1/2-1/2 29 Aronian - Nakamura 1-0 36 Wang - Svidler 1/2-1/2 35 Hammer - Karjakin 0-1 43 May-08-13    chancho: User: sandford User: and User: son May-08-13    twinlark: <Ohio> Thanks for the use of your eagle eye. May-08-13    twinlark: Round 2: Carlsen - Anand 1-0 50 Topalov - Radjabov 1-0 36 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 38 Wang - Svidler 1/2-1/2 31 Hammer - Karjakin 0-1 47 May-08-13    WinKing: Round 2 Carlsen - Anand 1/2 40 Topalov - Radjabov 1/2 40 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 40 Wang Hao - Svidler 1/2 40 Hammer - Karjakin 1/2 40 May-09-13    Golden Executive: Round 2 Carlsen - Anand 1-0 36 Topalov - Radjabov 1/2 36 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 36 Wang Hao - Svidler 1/2 36 Hammer - Karjakin 0-1 36 May-09-13    OhioChessFan: Carlsen - Anand 1/2 44 Topalov - Radjabov 1-0 38 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 40 Wang Hao - Svidler 1/2 45 Hammer - Karjakin 0-1 42 Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 849) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 356 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing>
