<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

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun, great game.

   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.

Dec-14-13		optimal play: <Domdaniel: "filthy, disgusting" ... I suspect that <Optimal play> is erring on the side of prurience.> <pru•ri•ent (prr-nt) adj. 1. Inordinately interested in matters of sex; lascivious. 2. a. Characterized by an inordinate interest in sex: prurient thoughts. b. Arousing or appealing to an inordinate interest in sex: prurient literature. > I blame that on my Catholic schooling :)

Dec-14-13		Domdaniel: <o.p.> Yeah, I had one of those too ... though it seems to have had little effect ... ;)

Dec-14-13		OhioChessFan: <JointForceQuarterly: I didn't realize until your second "follow up post" that you were merely supplying a handy blue word for "band."> I believe it's important to have the courage of your contradications. I don't care much about being understood. But I didn't want to leave you twisting in the wind <too long> so I had to clarify.

Dec-14-13		jessicafischerqueen: heh... It's no worries, because I actually enjoy the mystery and trying to figure things out. This is a hidden advantage of being thick. More mysteries!

Dec-15-13		jessicafischerqueen: Aha! Our friend and colleague <Karpova> has just pulled the trigger on the admin page. I think she has framed a reasonable question in a reasonable tone. I'm still shuddering, though, at the thought of what answer may or may not come. I'm really praying for some "non nefarious" explanation.

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Wrong answer, very sad to say.

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Just in case- jessicafischerqueen@yahoo.com

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: silent sorrow in empty boats

Dec-16-13		Alien Math: Intrude sorry, query appear for googleplus icon~

Dec-16-13		OhioChessFan: That was a quick month.

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: You said it. About 10 seconds after our "decision" <Karpova> asked the question on the admin forum, and I certainly can't blame her. She's been on this issue for a long time, and I guess she felt it was the right time to ask for an accounting. As you can see, I didn't think the resulting "accounting" was adequate- as we both feared it might not be. I'm hoping for better, if I don't get deleted from the site. Anyways it's done now.

Dec-16-13		dakgootje: <That was a quick month> Is it over already? Guess I slept through all holidays and festivities :( Well, happy 2014!

Dec-16-13		OhioChessFan: It wouldn't hurt to tread very lightly. I mean, why suggest an ugly answer when you've already asked an open ended question?

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Good thinking. Too late now though. The bolt is shot, with perhaps me next in the firing line.

Dec-16-13		OhioChessFan: The Shrieking Harridan routine is part of your charm. For future reference, when you need to address a potentionally ugly issue, try one of these 2 methods of broaching the matter: 1. I have been told that _____________. 2. Is it true that ___________?

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <Ohio>. You know I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't have such a creepy feeling about "muzzling" and "revisionist history." It's hard enough to dig up facts and such, as you know. The lads at <Streatham and Brixton>, <Kingpin>, and <Edward Winter's Chess Notes> have gone to a lot of trouble to painstakingly document the facts of Ray's serial plagiarizing. It would be nice if such facts had a hearing at our website, if our website indeed purports to offer actual chess history- as opposed to serve up hoary untrue anecdotes, or worse- much worse- serve up propaganda. I don't care for the Soviet model of chess history writing. It would be excellent if we didn't have any vestige of that here. Sadly...

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Do you think I will get squashed like a bug for this?

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: Bar None Ranch

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: heh... vintage <Ohio> you know the blue cheers me up no end...

Dec-16-13		jessicafischerqueen: ahahaha bug squish AHHHHHHHHH

Dec-16-13		hedgeh0g: Per your post on <optimal play>'s forum: <OhioChessFan: <The theory of evolution doesn't pretend to explain the origin of life.> Yeah, just ignore that fatal problem, and go on your merry way. If there is any one point your side is annoyingly irrational, it's right there.> Why is it so difficult to admit that there are some things we just don't know or understand? And does admitting our inability to answer one question (at least, for the time being) automatically disqualify us from answering another?

Dec-17-13		chancho: User: the jam Skyy - Call Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_Xe...

Dec-17-13		OhioChessFan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/... <The discovery of a 1.4-million-year-old hand-bone fossil reveals that the modern human ability to make and use complex tools may have originated far earlier than scientists previously thought, researchers say.> Let's review. If something backs up the currrent understanding, that proves science is on the right track. If something upsets the apple cart, that proves science is on the right track. Funny how that works. Oh, and the way they know the fossil was 1.4 million years old is that it was found in 1.4 million year old rocks. And the way they know the rocks were 1.4 million years old is that they contained 1.4 million year old fossils. Class dismissed.
