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.

Jan-30-14    hms123: <OCF> Thanks, but....? Jan-30-14    john barleycorn: reposting it here as closing time for the bid is approching <Jan-30-14 john barleycorn: Dear <OhioChessFan> I really appreciate your offer and it shows that you are a true connoisseur. However, I received several emails from Rex S. who entered the bidding. His latest offer includes the fully restored "TABLES OF LAW" with Moses fingerprints also restored. Can you reconsider your offer?> Jan-30-14    hms123: <OCF> I remembered that there was some really strange young woman that I had as a favorite player as a joke. I can't remember her name though. *** The Internet Wayback Machine comes to the rescue: <<My Favorite Player <Lauren S Hwang and her best game L S Hwang vs H Kim, 2005>>> Jan-30-14    OhioChessFan: I was referencing Alois Suess as in Dr. Jan-30-14    hms123: <OCF> Oh well...close but no cigar. Jan-31-14    jessicafischerqueen: <H> Good heavens how could you miss a reference to your own hat? Also I'd like to inform on all of the rave kids in the 90s who wore your hat whilst blocked up on all manner of heinous chemicals. What's wrong with just sitting in your basement with a jug of <Matted Elk>? I don't hold with these "newfangled" ideas. Jan-31-14    jessicafischerqueen: <H> <close> No. ahahHAHAHAHA Have you been getting in to the "Matted Elk" more now since you've retired? If so, I salute you. And yes I'm very jealous you've retired when I still have to work for "the man." Jan-31-14    hms123: <Jess> You have caught me out. Too much Matted Elk was indeed the issue. <Hats> and Horns! Jan-31-14    OhioChessFan: Why exactly <did> all those kids wear that hat? Jan-31-14    Travis Bickle: Elvis, you have a copy on the unedited ScarJo commercial where she insults huge sponsors Coke & Pepsi... http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur... Jan-31-14    visayanbraindoctor: <OhioChessFan> <<Doctor Walks 6 Miles Through Snow Storm To Perform Emergency Brain Surgery > http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/...> A truly dedicated doctor if he did that without getting paid for it (a charity patient) and walking to hospitals is not part of his normal routine. <I guess you've done some walking to surgeries too.> For my part I don't have a car and I normally walk to hospitals or take a PUV. I usually walk two kilometers a day, often more. If you do it under a hot blazing tropical sun, it can be exhausting and dangerous. So you have to pace yourself properly, and take a break at times, resting at a fast-food before commencing walking again.

Mar-07-14    PinnedPiece: Favorites from CPAC: 1) Rand Paul 2) Ted Cruz 3) Rick Perry 4) Chris Cristie . Mar-07-14    Jim Bartle: Great news for Democrats! Just wait until they begin investigating how Perry can afford his new million-dollar home at Round Top. Mar-08-14    PinnedPiece: Wow, I wasn't too far off. Too bad we weren't hosting a GOP candidate ranking game here! <Sen. Rand Paul demolished his competition in the 2014 Washington Times/CPAC presidential preference straw poll on Saturday, winning 31 percent of the vote — nearly three times the total of second-place Sen. Ted Cruz. ... 11 percent was a big improvement for the freshman senator, who won just 4 percent in last year’s straw poll. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson was third with 9 percent and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was fourth with 8 percent in results that signal growing discontent with the GOP establishment in Washington. Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news... > Third place Dr. Ben Carson!!!! That is a pleasant surprise to me. Ticket suggestion: Paul-Carson . Mar-09-14    OhioChessFan: Yeah, Carson has caught my attention. I am rather glad Christie has the bridge problems since I would assuredly not vote for him for dog catcher, much less President.
