<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

OhioChessFan: <Integ: They think it's like the 60s and they're reliving the glory years… lolS> Yep, thought that all along.

OhioChessFan: Spectacular win. I recall a Capa win with a similar back rank theme. Someone help with the specific game?

   Oct-16-25 K de Kruif vs A Horton-Kitchlew, 2001 (replies)
 
OhioChessFan: We could use a lot more games with those first moves.
 
   Oct-15-25 Chessgames - Sports (replies)
 
OhioChessFan: Hunter Greene had a two hitter this year that was just ridiculous. I don't know how the opposition got those hits. I recall watching on TV Dwight Gooden having one of those games he had complete control of his curveball. He'd have one or two a year and it was almost comical. ...
 
   Oct-14-25 S Takacs vs Alekhine, 1927
 
OhioChessFan: Qb1/d3 makes a bad impression. Throwing a tempo away to Alekhine has the expected results.
 
   Oct-14-25 F Oro vs Carlsen, 2024
 
OhioChessFan: "Faustian Bargain"

  SwitchingQuylthulg: Games have started, and with no predictions from <OhioChessFan> I guess at least round 1 is void :)
Mar-13-14
Premium Chessgames Member
  Penguincw: Personally, I would want Round 1 to count, but that wouldn't be really fair. :)
