<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: <Mark: And you're really dumb if you think my comments at playgroundplayers forum were "jabs!".>

I bet there's lots of dumb people in the world then. Here's some of the non-jabs:

<They were born that way, and it's only religious crackpots or naive uneducated (I'm uneducated to a certain extent. So let's just say Thick!) people that hate someone because they're gay. >

<I see more and more that homophobia is a generational thing.>

<Well if the Bible says so then you must be right. >

<Completely missing the point and doing what religious people do when they're stuck for an answer!>

<You pick parts out to suit you and everyone who isn't religious can see it.>

In a rare "blue post plea for assistance" I was hoping you might have a better suggestion for "of" than the word "huffy," which is what I've been using lately.

I did try to find something else but no joy so far.

  OhioChessFan: Oddly enough, in that post, I blue typoed User: green by posting User: gree I hope the User: Blue User: Link User: god User: counsel isn't upset with me
Jan-03-14
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> Super, thank you. I'm very glad User: uffe your help.

I also missed the "gree" typo. I think it's a fortunate mistake though because "gree" might come in handy in the future.

Exactly how, I don't know yet.

I am very pleased to know about this important body!

User: Blue

User: Link

User: god

User: counsel

I just looked at the "bios" for those four links, and according to the dates, it appears that "god" may have been the first ever registered member at our site? Also, "god" has never kibbutzed. I find these apparent mysteries both comforting and terrifying.

QUESTION: Do you think I'm going crazy?

I need to know...

  jessicafischerqueen: Oh no!

There is no "user: gree"-

This means that "gree" is not actually a bona fide blue word right?

Also it means that we can just make up any new blue word we want without registering a new account. I had no idea about this apparent "glitch" in <blue word scholarahip.>

I vow to not make any new blue words using the NEW HIDDEN TOP SECRET METHOD.

I didn't get where I am today by making up new blue words.

  jessicafischerqueen: I FELL FOR THE OLD fake URL trick!

ahhhhhhhh

Hoisted by my own petard again...

I'll get you for this <H>...

Jan-03-14  hms123: <jess> I can't believe you fell for it. You invented it. Maybe it needs more work at the chemist's.

  jessicafischerqueen: <H>

In a rare frivolous post, I don't think I actually invented the "fake URL use" at Cg.com.

I think I copied it from someone else, but I can't quite recall. Very foggy.

*See your forum-

My lawyer has just assured me that this post here has already been judged inadmissable in the upcoming <hms123 vs. hms123> copyright case.

So don't be thinking you can pull a fast one here. I didn't get where I am today by testifying against myself.

Jan-03-14  hms123: <jess> I didn't even get where I am today.
