<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. Carl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian
13. Brian Flowers

OhioChessFan: I can't begin to understand this game. Nice pun though.

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.

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.

So, I think Round 1 should <only> count to those who entered, so there should be 2 separate standings: 1 including Round 1, and the other not including it, similar to what <YouRang> probably did a few times. I feel kinda selfish now, but it's your call. :) Round 3: Andreikin - Karjakin 1/2-1/2 40 Svidler - Kramnik 1/2-1/2 40 Topalov - Aronian 1/2-1/2 40 Mamedyarov - Anand 1/2-1/2 40

Mar-15-14		WCC Editing Project: I'm not going to submit our draft-Game Collection: WCC: FIDE WCC Tournament 1948 for another five days, because I am sick and I have to work again tomorrow. I know it might seem like a long delay, but I really don't like to do something this important when I'm frankly not intellectually capable. I don't want to submit this draft when I'm ill. Thanks everyone.
