<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.

   Oct-22-25 E Spencer vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1926

OhioChessFan: <Bx> that was the only remotely relevant return on a Google search and I still don't get it. I was 95% sure going in it was a British reference.

OhioChessFan: <saff: And nobody knows a thing about how it is being done.> Well, I suppose SOMEONE knows, but I doubt that person frequents this page. In any event, your obliviousness is stunning.

OhioChessFan: Why does the bio say four would advance but names five?

   Oct-21-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: From a 3/2 game. I'm White and in bad shape. Down a Pawn, going to be two Pawns soon, and getting crushed positionally. [DIAGRAM] I tried Ne3 just to generate some activity. Stockfish said it was objectively best, to my surprise, although there aren't many attractive ...
