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.

Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum   OhioChessFan: <Fortunately, we have almost the same taste. High on my scale are Wagner, Richard Strauss, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Sibelius, Verdi - well the list could go on. And there is hardly any work that has touched me more than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.> Belatedly ...      Apr-10-26 Honza Cervenka chessforum   OhioChessFan: <The moral of this story is that people should learn endings, and especially seemingly trivial Pawn endings.> Even at the Super GM level, the end games skills of many players are sometimes poor.      Apr-10-26 offramp chessforum   OhioChessFan: Clint Black - Nothing But the Taillights https://youtu.be/VtJWpjMAKII?si=n6N...      Apr-10-26 Chessgames - Politics   OhioChessFan: <HMM: OCF, do you ever have Elvis Fridays (everyone dress like Elvis) > No, never heard of it. <or taco Tuesdays to keep it lite in the mail room? Just curious.> The closest I've seen is an effort to have an entire office wear Bengals gear during a playoff run. ...      Apr-10-26 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Artie Shaw - Interlude in B Flat https://youtu.be/Bq1oiDOlFZo?si=3Oo... An early example of what came to be called Third Stream Jazz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third...      Apr-10-26 P Lalic vs P Large, 2024    OhioChessFan: I'll go along with that. I wouldn't expect Black to hold.      Apr-09-26 Giri vs Nakamura, 2026    OhioChessFan: I'm trying to work this out from Giri's POV. Maybe he had a novelty prepared in the Englisch and Naka derailed it with 3...h6. Otherwise, he played for a draw while essentially needing a win.      Apr-08-26 chessgames.com chessforum    OhioChessFan: I didn't check each number, but this appears to be the highest in the sequence: User: outlookindia197jm All the 1_1 up to 191 have user names attached.      Apr-08-26 Caruana vs Giri, 2026    OhioChessFan: I guess nobody ever explained en passant to Fabi.      Apr-08-26 Romanishin vs Marjanovic, 1972   OhioChessFan: Pretty good pun. Nice finish to the game.

I will concede the possibility your intellectual level is below the average 10 year old. Jan-16-14    Colonel Mortimer: <Patriot> <Romney spoke the truth about the 47% at least in the fact there are lots of takers> It's not clear whether "the 47%" are all takers or whether there are a lot of takers in the "47%". Romney said a lot of things about "the 47%" including the fact they would vote for Obama no matter what. So before I take apart such a facile statement as "47%" of the American population are on the take (thereby implying that 53% are not) - I want to make sure the person saying such a thing actually thinks and believes it. The opposite of what you do - which is judge right out of the starting blocks. Jan-16-14    OhioChessFan: Go ask the nearest 10 year old to read what Patriot said and see if they come to the same conclusion you did.
