<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.

  OhioChessFan: Elvis came down to earth a little, and the field tightened up considerably. <OhioChessFan> still leads in 3 categories, although <twinlark> had a strong round to tie for the lead in 2 of them. <Golden Executive> continues to lead the other ranker. Rest day tomorrow, 2 rounds to go.

They should move from Ohio to deal with their anger issues.

Akron, Bowling Green, Columbus, Dayton ... all belong on this page.

May-16-13  OneArmedScissor: <What infuriates you is the idea that anyone or anything has control over us. You don't like to be told they aren't allowed to do something. "As long as it doesn't hurt anybody, I should be allowed..." You want complete freedom-- which you will use to conform to very ordinary standards of living that you impose on yourself.

But this isn't a moral issue that I am describing, it is an architectural problem: the very thing that allows you to exist in a world of complete freedom is those internal controls and not the social controls-- laws and shames-- that you think bind you.

Shame will never be enough-- when your identity is "strong" enough nothing shames you, not a sex tape or a prison term, you'll take that scarlet letter and put it on a tight tank top and wear it ironically, not to mention hotly.

The laws will never be stronger than you. Wall Street may need more regulation but it won't reduce the corruption at all. If they want to find a way around the law, they will. Always. The more laws you have, the less relevant guilt becomes. Externalizing the rule affords you the opportunity to explore the grey areas. The only thing that will stop corruption is people not wanting to be corrupt.>

  OhioChessFan: <What infuriates you is the idea that anyone or anything has control over us. >

Oh, indeed, there's one obvious person on this site who that describes. Infuriated to the point of irrationality.

In any case, most people don't like being told what to do/not do. There's a couple of nuances specific to religion and/or politics in that regard.

I notice you don't take kindly to being told to "rog off" from the cafe. And that's only the second or third most infuriating poster.

Maybe you can set your mind to it and raech the top 3 next time.

  OhioChessFan: What a round. 4 decisive games, one a loss by Carlsen with White. Svidler beat Karjakin in 57 moves, Wang Hao beat Carlsen in 79, Naka defeated Radja in 47, and Vishy beat Hammer Time in 45. Topa-Aronian was a short draw, but I can't find how many moves. One round to go. Don't forget, early start tomorrow.
