<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.

Jan-10-14		OhioChessFan: Welcome to the Tata Steel Moves Prediciton Contest Fame and fortune and cyber glory awaits everyone. Pick game results, 1-0, 1/2 or 0-1 and the number of moves for each game in the tournament. If anyone here hasn't done so yet, I recommend they visit User: YouRang for his game prediction contest and User: lostemperor for his final standings contest.

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.

Jan-10-14		OhioChessFan: Dominguez - Giri 1/2 38 Van Wely - Karjakin 1/2 32 HariKrishna - Aronian 0-1 44 Caruana - Gelfand 1/2 31 Rapport - So 1/2 44 Nakamura - Naidtsch 1-0 45

Jan-11-14		SwitchingQuylthulg: <kardopov> Looks like you've made two move guesses for Caruana-Gelfand and none for Harikrishna-Aronian. My predictions for round 1: Dominguez - Giri 1/2 40 Van Wely - Karjakin 1/2 40 Harikrishna - Aronian 1/2 47 Caruana - Gelfand 1-0 26 Rapport - So 1-0 13 Nakamura - Naiditsch 1/2 19

Jan-11-14		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 1 games have started.

Jan-11-14		chessmoron: <kardopov> I will assume <Harikrishna - Aronian 0-1> for 48 moves if no changes are being made.
