<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

   Jan-17-26 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <FSR: <OCF> and fellow MAGAts will tell you Ashli and company were just peaceful, law-abiding folks who wanted to chat with their elected representatives.> <OCF: Quote me, please.> <aw,: Don't play search-thread games. Don't make people look for what you ...

   Jan-15-26 Julien Song

OhioChessFan: 90 minute games today and tomorrow. Next day the rapids. Fourth day the blitz. Am I the only one with no audio on the chess.com stream?

   Jan-15-26 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Do yourself a favor and spend three minutes listening to this nice flute driven piece. Nestor Torres-Cute https://youtu.be/Eor1meJSZPs?si=duk...

   Jan-14-26 Kibitzer's Café

OhioChessFan: <kl: Today for the first time ever I played a vlack knight to c8> I'm impressed you could keep up with that fact.

   Jan-14-26 C Gilberg vs Dickson, 1866

OhioChessFan: <sfod: <jn> couldn't even grant a one-day reprieve for us before he *ruined* the original pun! Talk about raining on the parade.> Thought the same thing.

   Jan-13-26 J Krejcik vs J Thirring, 1898

OhioChessFan: "Thirring Victory"

   Jan-10-26 J Cesena vs J Dyke, 1979

OhioChessFan: Terrific pun.

   Jan-09-26 Milwaukee Chess Club vs Charles City Chess Club, 1876

OhioChessFan: 15. Rd1 is a wasted tempo. I assume White was trying to outnumber the defenders of d5 but missed the skewer Qc6. In any case, as <tsv> said years ago, the Rook needs to stay on the f file.

   Jan-08-26 Shabalov vs E Tate, 1998

OhioChessFan: Okay, strained, but nice.

   Jan-08-26 Sergei Prokofiev

OhioChessFan: Cinderella's Waltz https://youtu.be/YbaY7p5ahZo?featur... A quick (three minutes) but nice listen.

May-09-13		wordfunph: Round 2 Carlsen - Anand 0-1 46 Topalov - Radjabov 1/2 34 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 34 Wang Hao - Svidler 0-1 46 Hammer - Karjakin 1/2 42

May-09-13		WinKing: The games have begun.

May-09-13		OhioChessFan: In game update: Carlsen-Vishy is about even. Topa-Radja looks pretty vanilla. Aronian is a little better than Naka. Hao might win against Svidler. Not much going on in Hammer-Karjakin.

May-09-13		OhioChessFan: Round 2 results Carlsen and Vishy had a 59 move draw. Topa-Radja was an uneventful 40 move draw. Aronian beat Naka in a longer than necessary 70 move game. Hao shocked Svidler in 63 moves. And Karjakin with Black defeated Hammer Time in 54 moves. Aronian and Hao caught me by surprise. My toughest choice was (no surprise) incorrectly picking Topa to win instead of draw. 7 rounds to go.

May-09-13		WinKing: I have posted the unofficial results for Round 2 in my forum. Hopefully <chessmoron> returns for Round 3.

May-09-13		Robin01: Round 3 Anand-Topalov 1/2 44 Nakamura-Carlsen 1/2 51 Svidler-Aronian 0-1 46 Radjabov-Hammer 1/2 58 Karjakin-Wang 1/2 42

May-09-13		lostemperor: Round 3 Anand-Topalov 1/2 36 Nakamura-Carlsen 1/2 44 Svidler-Aronian 1/2 25 Radjabov-Hammer 0-1 42 Karjakin-Wang 1-0 45

May-09-13		OneArmedScissor: <Here's the generational problem, and what's significant about it isn't so much that it didn't happen but that no one has even thought to mention it: the reason Paterno had to be fired is because if he stayed, if he and the administration thought this was surmountable, then it would have put the football players in the extremely uncomfortable position of having to make the ethical decision themselves. "Do I want to keep playing for an organization that hides this kind of thing?" That's a heavy question to ask a 20 year old. These players are college kids, which means that what is at stake in making this choice is their entire futures, whereas what is at stake for Paterno and the school is their legacy. Does some defensive end have to consider throwing away his entire possible career just to make the choice that his elders should have made for him? The answer is yes, but it is way unfair of the rest of us to saddle him with it. Notwithstanding that the future is demonstrably more valuable than the past, forgetting about that-- it is the responsibility of the older generation to take the bullet so that the younger generation has a chance. "I don't know who the hell spilled all these banana peels and ball bearings, " says Mr. Expanding Waistline And Declining Penile Tumescence, "but I got to clean it up so the kids don't trip over it." This is why CEOs step down and generals resign, it isn't simply that "they are ultimately responsible" but that it is their job is to throw themselves on the grenade so that the area is cleared for everyone else, and if your CEO or general or father isn't willing to do that, then you don't actually have a CEO or general or father, you have a politician. Enjoy your democracy.>

May-10-13		WinKing: The number of moves in all games(15) through Rnd.3 at Norway 2013. 1-0's: 39, 41(2x), 42, 45, 58, 63, 70 Draws: 31, 33, 38, 40, 51, 59 0-1's: 54 ********** Nine decisive games in the first three rounds, eight of them by white! Will be interesting to see if that trend continues. Can't really say any # is hot right now although 41 has come in twice.

May-10-13		OhioChessFan: Oh my. I just noticed that on May 8 <chessmoron> made choices, presumably in a hurry, without the numbers of moves.

May-10-13		chessmoron: ♔ Norway 2013: <Round 1> Results <Anand-Aronian, 1/2-1/2 in 33 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [['twinlark', '1/2-1/2', '32'], ['lostemperor', '1/2-1/2', '32']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [] 3rd Under, 5 points: [] Over, 3 points: [] 2nd Over, 2 points: [['Golden Executive', '1/2-1/2', '34']] 3rd Over, 1 point1: [['Penguincw', '1/2-1/2', '35'], ['WinKing', '1/2-1/2', '35'], ['Robin01', '1/2-1/2', '35']] === <Carlsen-Topalov, 1/2-1/2 in 51 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [['Robin01', '1/2-1/2', '45']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [['OhioChessFan', '1/2-1/2', '40']] 3rd Under, 5 points: [] Over, 3 points: [] 2nd Over, 2 points: [['PinnedPiece', '1/2-1/2', '52']] 3rd Over, 1 point1: [] === <Karjakin-Radjabov, 1-0 in 41 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [] 2nd Under, 6 points: [] 3rd Under, 5 points: [] Over, 3 points: [['OhioChessFan', '1-0', '46']] 2nd Over, 2 points: [] 3rd Over, 1 point1: [] === <Nakamura-Hao, 1-0 in 42 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [['Penguincw', '1-0', '41']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [] 3rd Under, 5 points: [] Over, 3 points: [] 2nd Over, 2 points: [['PinnedPiece', '1-0', '52']] 3rd Over, 1 point1: [] === <Svidler-Hammer, 1-0 in 58 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [['PinnedPiece', '1-0', '52']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [['lostemperor', '1-0', '42']] 3rd Under, 5 points: [['twinlark', '1-0', '38']] Over, 3 points: [] 2nd Over, 2 points: [] 3rd Over, 1 point1: []
