<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

Sep-11-07		OhioChessFan: Who-Jan Marten Dey

Sep-11-07		OhioChessFan: I'm not quite that mean spirited <Wannabe> Almost, but not quite. I'd guess about 10 in a row, <CC>

Sep-11-07		zanshin: <OCF> I missed the joke about "My Little Buttercup" .. .something that went on during the GMAN game?

Sep-12-07		Open Defence: <zanshin> its a song in the movie <The Three Amigos> catchy tune... I'm sure <Ohio> can swing the pelvis to that one

Sep-12-07		Open Defence: < OhioChessFan: How quickly they forget. I don't mind losing my spot in history, but I can't abide the thought of losing my spot in the Buttercups > maybe I didn't praise you ... for all the novelties you did find... and maybe I didnt tell you ... I liked your analysis all the time.... Many things we could have said and done.... We were still searching at 20 ply But you were always on our minds.... You were always on our minds....

Sep-12-07		zanshin: Ahhh, now I get it. Thanks <OD>!

Sep-18-07		Artar1: Thanks for your input! click for larger view The above diagram is where the game stopped before I had to move onto other lines. I think White has a small advantage, but nothing more. A very tense struggle is in store. It should prove to be an interesting endgame.

Sep-19-07		OhioChessFan: I Saw Elvis in a UFO (Spoken) This is the evening news. Let's go now to our field reporter Renaldo Riviera. This is Renaldo Riviera on the banks of the stinky muddy river with Mr. R.V. Frisbee who claims to have witnessed something truly fantastic. Mr. Frisbee could you tell us what you saw? Yeah, I's just hunkered down over there puttin' a stink wad on my trot line and the short hairs just stood straight out on the back of my neck and I turned around and there's this big orange thing with them purple lights on it come swoopin' over them pine trees and just hoovered over the Winnebago there. Inez run out and throwed a skillet at it and then she scissored and run back in under the hide-a-bed. 'Bout that time a little trap door opened up, little stair steps come down and this little pink baldheaded guy stuck his head out. Now I'd seen that movie "Clost Encounters". I just walked on over there big as Ike and looked up in there and there he was. There who was? I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. sittin' there with Howard Hughes. I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. Jimmy Hoffa was in there too. I saw Elvis in a U.F.O. singing them rhythm and blues. And Liberace was there and he had on a pair of Imelda Marcos' shoes. What is that a shootin star streakin' cross the heavens above? No it's a whole lot more than a shootin' star it's a hunka hunka burning love, oooh! I saw the Colonel in a U.F.O. had a big smile on his face. And then he shook his head, puffed on his cigar and said "I done booked "Elvis" out in outer space" And then those little pink men they all jumped in dancin' up and down the stairs. And then they rolled their eyes, began to harmonize and it sounded like the Jordoniares. Bop bop bop bop uh unh huh bop bop bop We got Elvis in a U.F.O. he's too good for the human race. We got Elvis in a U.F.O. we're going to keep him out in outer space. They got Elvis in a U.F.O. honey have you heard the news? They got Elvis in a U.F.O. just singing them rhythm and blues. They got Elvis in a U.F.O. (Spoken) And the Colonel and Howard Hughes and Jimmy Hoffa even Liberace's up there he ain't never had no hit record, honey. I done had more hits than anybody but do I get to go in a U.F.O. Nooo!!! Now is that fair? I'm the king of Rock n Rol! The originator! I started the whole thing baby and I think it's about time I got to go on a U.F.O. You better beam me up Scotty or your little pink baldheaded people done tore it with me. Wow!!!.....Thank you

Sep-21-07		Benzol: <OhioChessFan> Can you recommend a good starting sampler/album for the band 'Over The Rhine'. The female lead singer has a really good voice and I'd like to hear more. I presume you've actually seen them live. Thanks in advance mate.

Sep-23-07		OhioChessFan: Try Good Dog Bad Dog.

Nov-06-07		OhioChessFan: Why can't the US have something cool like this? Gentlemen, start your kidneys! http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/05/...

Nov-12-07		OhioChessFan: Well, stuck my neck out in the World Game. I have a habit of posting long lines and making a mistake in move order, forgetting pieces were moved, sometimes just outright blunders. Posted 3 times, 2 of them in long lines. Had one suggestion earlier that was sort of looked at already and wasn't bad, though apparently not great.

Nov-13-07		OhioChessFan: Okay, so far I haven't embarrassed myself. Still awaiting judgment on the 17. Be5 Re8 18. Bxg7+ Kxg7 19.Rbc1 Qe7 20.Qxe7+ Rxe7 21.Na4 Rb8 22.Nd4 Rb4 23.b3 Nb5 24. Nxc6 Bxc6 25. Rxc6 Nd4 26. Rxd4? line.

Nov-14-07		OhioChessFan: Hmm, no responses on the <dalbertz> forum. Any takers here want to run a puter on 17. Be5 Re8 18. Bxg7+ Kxg7 19.Rbc1 Qe7 20.Qxe7+ Rxe7 21.Na4 Rb8 22.Nd4 Rb4 23.b3 Nb5 24. Nxc6 Bxc6 25. Rxc6 Nd4 26. Rxd4

Nov-14-07		zanshin: <OCF> I'll bite. Here's Fritz 10 at 20-ply. click for larger view 1. (-1.79): 26...Rxd4 27.Bxe4 fxe4 28.Rc2 Rd1+ 29.Kg2 Rf7 30.e3 h6 31.Nb2 Re1 32.Na4 h5 33.h4 Rd1 34.Nc3 Rc7 2.

Nov-14-07		zanshin: <OCF> I'm not quite sure where you're going with this, but it appears 26.Rxd4 is a mistake. Here's analysis a half-move prior (21-ply): click for larger view 1. (0.26): 26.Ra6 Nxe2+ 27.Kf1 N2c3 28.Nxc3 Nxc3 29.Rd3 Nxa2 30.Bxd5 Nc1 31.Rc3 Ne2 32.Rf3 Rb5 33.Bc4 Rbe5 2. = (-0.14): 26.Bxe4 Nxc6 27.Bxd5 Rd4 28.Rxd4 Nxd4 29.e3 Rd7 30.Nc3 Ne2+ 31.Nxe2 Rxd5 32.Nd4 Kf6 3. = (-0.22): 26.Rc8 Nxe2+ 27.Kf1 Rd4 28.Rxd4 Nxd4 29.h3 Nd2+ 30.Kg1 f4 31.gxf4 Ne2+ 32.Kh2 Nxf4 33.Nb6 d4 34.Rd8 Ne2 4.

Nov-15-07		OhioChessFan: Thanks Zanshin. Looking at it now, I can't even remember what my point was.

Nov-27-07		OhioChessFan: So Ohio State loses to a ranked team and drops 6 spots, while everyone else loses to unranked teams and drop 4 spots. Ummmmmmmmmmm.

Nov-27-07		WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Based upon my research, Illinois was not ranked (in any of the polls...) when they played Ohio State. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/ranki...

Nov-27-07		OhioChessFan: What lengths they'll go to contradict me, alas. I see Illinois didn't make it in the polls until after that win.

Dec-03-07		OhioChessFan: If I was a Georgia fan, I'd be furious right now. Absolutely unbelievable.

Dec-03-07		WannaBe: Why??

Dec-03-07		OhioChessFan: Georgia was 85 points ahead of LSU in the AP poll, and about 100 in the USA Today poll. Somehow, LSU beating a team with 3 losses by 7 points was so overpowering, that those voters moved LSU ahead of Georgia. Absolutely unbelievable.

Dec-03-07		WannaBe: Well, good points, but Georgia did not win it's conference division, therefore did not go to the SEC Championship game, it's hard to place a team or rank a team ahead of its conference champion... Can anyone say 'PLAY-OFF's?!?!?!

Dec-03-07		OhioChessFan: If that's the case, Georgia shouldn't have been ahead of LSU last week. The playoffs simply aren't feasible.
