<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

   Oct-12-25 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <Integ: How do we fix this> What's the problem? They'll vote for Democrats next election. All is well.

   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"

   Oct-08-25 offramp chessforum

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 ...

   Oct-07-25 Chessgames - Sports

OhioChessFan: Dave Roberts constantly makes impossibly bad in game decisions.

   Oct-04-25 Topalov vs Kasparov, 1995

OhioChessFan: Funny pun, nice game.

   Oct-01-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: Sorry, I missed this request and in the meantime, I forgot the source. I get a lot of puzzles as YouTube suggested videos and think that was the source.

Jun-24-13		WinKing: I have put the updated list for all entrants into the HALL OF FAME in my forum. All four contests are included - <chessmoron>, <YouRang>, <lostemperor> & <The Last Straw>.

Jun-24-13		wordfunph: cheers to all! ..and special thanks to <OCF> <chessmoron> for running this exciting contest. see you all in Dortmund (hopefully)..

Jun-24-13		whiteshark: What <wordfunph> eloquently said ... http://thedailyfunnies.files.wordpr...

Jun-24-13		OhioChessFan: What I listened to today: McCoy Tyner Trio with Michael Brecker-Where is Love? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5uW... I've never been a big jazz fan, but I enjoy it in small doses. The album is Infinity.

Jun-24-13		Jim Bartle: I like McCoy Tyner. I once saw him at a club in New York we had to move our chairs so the trombonist wouldn't hit us with his slide.

Jun-25-13		PinnedPiece: <JB: we had to move our chairs so the trombonist wouldn't hit us with his slide.> I'm assuming the club didn't hold more that about 150 people max. It has always amazed me that our finest musicians--as opposed to the ear-piercing over-amped thumping, driving rock acts, who fill stadiums--have had to scramble for some venue or other is a small off-mainstreet club in whereverville, or even NY City, to make a living. I sat a few feet away from Bela Fleck when he brought the Flecktones to Fresno, CA in a little dive in the mid-90s. In my mind he is the consummate jazz-trad banjo player, and I got to chat with him. Unreal. But that's jazz in America, the only place that could produce such music, and the life of such musicians. .

Jun-25-13		Jim Bartle: Yes, jazzmen play at small venues, but I haven't taken advantage often. There were maybe 60 or 70 people at the McCoy Tyner show. I once saw Roland Kirk in SF and there were no more than 25 people.

Jun-27-13		lotsapoppa: Little known fact- I wasn't just Charlie Manson's drug dealer, I was also a local Jazz Musician.

Jun-27-13		OhioChessFan: What I listened to today: Solomon Burke-Soul Searchin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AU... The Other Side of the Coin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ3g...

Jun-28-13		Travis Bickle: Elvis call this number. ; P http://youtu.be/9O-vJbwvUlY

Jun-28-13		OhioChessFan: I'm sure it's a coincidence those numbers are 36-24-36. I didn't get to that link until just now, and heard Back in Black on the way home and thought of what a rocker that is and I bet you like it. Then I get here and see you've dropped another AC DC link.

Jun-29-13		Travis Bickle: <OhioChessFan: I'm sure it's a coincidence those numbers are 36-24-36> Elvis that's my phone number. You're so smart, when you figure out the missing digits, give me a ring and I'll be happy to do business with you. ; P

Jun-29-13		OhioChessFan: So many screwheads, so little time.
