<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:

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.

   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.

Jan-03-14		hms123: <jess> That brings back fond memories. I may have to watch those episodes again this winter. At the moment, I am working my way through <Black Adder>.

Jan-03-14		chessmoron: Sure, I'll manage the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2014 prediction contest.

Jan-04-14		OhioChessFan: Coming soon, Tata Steel Moves Prediction Contest

Jan-05-14		jessicafischerqueen: User: half User: you User: eff User: hare User: saw User: zee User: OhioChessFan User: river? -Col. Kurtz, from "Apocalypse Now"

Jan-05-14		OhioChessFan: Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs-Banks of the Ohio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C3r...

Jan-05-14		jessicafischerqueen: <OhioScruggsFan> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C3... That's just marvelous isn't it? Real emotion in this track. Different than what you might hear on "X Factor" or "Britain's got Talent" or the latest Miley Cyrus record.

Jan-06-14		OhioChessFan: That's rich. AJ deleted a post of mine because I proved him wrong. Discussing the meaning of a word in the Bible is pretty serious business, I guess. Unbelievable.

Jan-06-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> I hear you, believe me. At the same time, I'm glad you had the forbearance to post the information here in your forum instead of somewhere else. It's a fragile peace, but one well worth striving to keep. That said, and this is strictly my own opinion, the actual people involved (including me) haven't abruptly "changed personalities." I regret having spat poison at <AJ>, at length, in FSR's forum, but I'm also glad FSR didn't delete the evidence. I'll just close by saying I was angry about something much less offensive than what you've told about here. Anyways I hope you don't mind me commenting on this. If you do, just let me know and delete my post.

Jan-06-14		john barleycorn: <OhioChessFan: Unbelievable. AJ deleted a post of mine from his forum.> to see is to believe. you have seen your post deleted. So, it cannot be "unbelievable". I would call "impertinent". Anyhow, <he> is just returning to "normal", his usual routines. :-) It is about old dogs and new tricks...

Jan-06-14		OhioChessFan: Well, moving on. I guess nothing else productive to say on the matter. <Jess> I am very reluctant to delete posts, seems like changing history, so I won't unless you beg and plead determinedly and I still probably won't, but maybe.

Jan-06-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> Good heavens no, I didn't wish you to delete my post. I was simply worried you might not appreciate me "butting in" and you might not be in the mood to have your neighbour out on your street in her housecoat nattering at you through your living room widow. I'm also not a fan of deleting posts, except for people yelling at each other in my forum.

Jan-06-14		OhioChessFan: We need a sniglet for this: That period of indecision when you see a recent kibitzing comment that's so outrageous you <must> respond to it, but you also don't want your response to subsequently remove the outrageous comment from public view on the recent kibitzing page.

Jan-06-14		jessicafischerqueen: Well I had to GOBBLE "sniglet" to understand what you meant. Since a sniglet has to be just one word, I decided to create a new category, the "snigphrase." Here is a snigphrase that comes to mind for your definition: "post-dramatic stress disorder."

Jan-06-14		OhioChessFan: User: brilliant

Jan-07-14		Shams: Did you get broadband?

Jan-07-14		OhioChessFan: No, I go to the library every so often. I know I need high speed of some kind. Debating whether to get a package with cable, etc.

Jan-07-14		Shams: The girl and I bundle cable and internet. It's criminal how they pile on little surcharges here and there. I try not to think about how much we spend a year.

Jan-07-14		NakoSonorense: I spent $239.88 on 3bmps internet last year. I'll spend $359.88 this year for the same speed. It's more than enough to watch youtube and Netflix. Downloading is relatively slow, but I don't do that.

Jan-08-14		chessmoron: <Shams> I spent the same per year on the internet as <NakoSonorense>. Spend $46.80 per year on phone. Every TV shows that airs in Eastern time zone, I can watch online for free when it ends.

Jan-08-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Nako, McLovin> Please forgive me! But a chance as good as this to repost my favorite kibbutz of all time might not come along for another six years. (Nako to chessmoron, about Nako's internet deal): <"Screw you. I like it.">

Jan-08-14		SoUnwiseTheKnight B4: Happy Birthday to Elvis Presley! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yujl... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnlI...

Jan-09-14		OhioChessFan: Thank you, thank you very much.

Jan-10-14		OhioChessFan: **Welcome to the Tata Steel Memorial Moves Prediction Contest** This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in a first round game you think Aronian with White will defeat Nakamura in 40 moves, your entry would say: Aronian-Nakamura 1-0 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <YouRang> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. It really isn't as painful to miss a round as it is in <YouRang> contest. The winners often have rounds they don't score a single point. So don't fret if you miss a round. Pay attention to the matchups and to the tournament strategy. For example, if a player has an insurmountable lead in the last round, you just might expect a very short draw. In general, it's better to be under the number of moves than over because of the scoring system, so keep that in mind. There are a number of other nuances that will occur to you as the tournament progresses. If you haven't done so, I encourage you to visit www.chessgames.com/~yourang and enter his games prediction contest, www.chessgames.com/~lostemperor and his final standings contest.

Jan-10-14		OhioChessFan: Contestants with most current rating I can find: 1. Levon Aronian 2812 2. Hikaru Nakamura 2789 3. Fabiano Caruana 2782 4. Boris Gelfand 2777 5. Sergey Karjakin 2759 6. Leinier Dominguez 2754 7. Anish Giri 2734 8. Wesley So 2719 9. Arkadi Naiditsch 2718 10. Pentala Harikrishna 2706 11. Richard Rapport 2691 12. Loek van Wely 2672
