I am pretty sure people have scored over 30 points in a single round. > Agreed. However, I'm probably going to need 2 big rounds to make up for what I loss and try to earn some medals. This may sound a bit selfish, but I've scored 1 point in the last 4 rounds. ONE point in the last FOUR rounds. |

How to read it?
Well, for instance <OCF> could say something like this: "Great, I knew Leko´s drawish record would give me an edge, yep, right now for all the games which he has been involved in, I got the biggest contribution with 20 points, that is 34% of the 58 points I earned.In the other hand, after 7 rounds, all the games involucrating Adams, resulted in the worst contribution to my score: just 3 points, that is only a 5%??. Well, this guy <GE> did not post the contributions of the german players to my score, but I know they are doing fine for me." |

| Aug-03-13 | | WinKing: That's interesting <GE>. I guess I'll have to get GM Meier a fruit cake for Christmas while GM Andreikin gets coal in his stocking. You would think that GM's who draw a lot would be the ones that comprise the greatest part of our scores points wise(& they do for the most part). Seeing as draws are the majority of our picks. Leko, Fridman & Meier are known for drawing a fair amount of their games. While on the other hand Adams, Andreikin & Naiditsch are known more for their aggressive fighting styles of chess. As a result more of their games are decisive for better or worse.(These are my opinions of these players) Hey <GE> your going to have to start picking GM Leko to draw a little more.
Or if you are picking him to draw go a little higher with the number of moves you pick. He has been in games with 40 moves or higher in 4 of his 6 draws so far in this tournament. GM Andreikin & GM Caruana have totally messed me up in this prediction contest. I have no idea how to predict their games anymore. |

| | OhioChessFan: <GE> the dynamics of this game are interesting. I knew I had underestimated Adams by far, and am still kicking myself for picking a Leko win in round 1, what was I thinking, and yeah, I expected a lot of draws from him. OTOH, I have a lot of overs, a couple of the dreaded one move overs, and that also impacts the score along with the game results. I really enjoy the tension of it even though many people shy away from this contest because it seems too complicated. |
