<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

   Oct-24-25 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <Integ: These are the people the libs worship, and they want to force us to worship them too.> Our libs are button busting proud of what they've created.

   Oct-23-25 E Dervishi vs F Berend, 2004

OhioChessFan: I like the pun.

   Oct-23-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: Yes, Black played Qxa3. The only squares available for the Queen are a2, a3, b2 and d2. Probably Re3 is best but a random Rook move is likely winning too.

   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.

   Oct-21-25 Lvov Zonal (1978)

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

   Oct-21-25 O Aharon vs P Arnaudov, 2012

OhioChessFan: "Ofir Pete's Sake"

   Oct-20-25 Memorable Quotes chessforum

OhioChessFan: From the politics page: <saffuna: Wordle was blocked early this morning!> <al wazir: Hacked?> <Willber G: That's too many letters.>

   Oct-19-25 V Mikenas vs Bronstein, 1965

OhioChessFan: Wow, thanks <NH>. That's it.

   Oct-18-25 G Skare vs M Jevtic, 2010

Mar-26-14		WCC Editing Project: CURRENT DRAFT UNDER INSPECTION FOR PROMOTION: Game Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951 DUE DATE- THE DAY I WILL SUBMIT THIS DRAFT TO <Daniel>: Submission Day <<<SUNDAY APRIL 6>>>

Mar-26-14		WinKing: Round 12 Anand - Andreikin 1/2 35 Mamedyarov - Karjakin 1/2 40 Topalov - Svidler 1/2 45 Aronian - Kramnik 1/2 37

Mar-27-14		Golden Executive: Round 12: Anand - Andreikin 1/2 32 Mamedyarov - Karjakin 1/2 40 Topalov - Svidler 1/2 40 Aronian - Kramnik 1/2 34

Mar-27-14		OhioChessFan: Annnnnnd they're off! Round 12 is underway as Elvis is looking for a major comeback with 40 points this round.

Mar-27-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ In Game Update ♔ Vishy is better against Andreikin and looking to win. Topa missed an easy to find move that was probably winning, 28. Rc5, but is still better. Mamedyarov and Karjakin are playing an uneven game that is currently even. Kramnik was better against Aronian but threw away most of his advantage.

Mar-27-14		WinKing: <chessmoron> I believe <Karposian> also had 1/2 for the Anand – Andreikin game. Should be good for 2 pts (as the only over score). < Karposian: Round 12: Anand – Andreikin 1/2 48 >

Mar-28-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ In Game Update ♔ <OhioChessFan> forgot to make his picks last night and fortuitously woke up at 4:55 AM this morning. In his mad rush to get his picks in, he noticed the correction to the Round 11 scores. However, in his sleep addled state, he deleted the results page also. However, he did have the presence of mind to use the back arrow on his browser, found the page he deleted and reposted it. Sorry <chessmoron> but I think it's okay now.

Mar-28-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ In Game Update #2 ♔ <OhioChessFan> just realized at 5:16 that today is a rest day. He returns to bed wondering where his mind is going.

Mar-28-14		wordfunph: Round 13: Andreikin-Aronian 1/2 46 Karjakin-Anand 1/2 34 Svidler-Mamedyarov 1/2 34 Kramnik-Topalov 34

Mar-28-14		WinKing: Hey <wordfunph> you forgot to post the result of the upcoming Kramnik-Topalov game Round 13. You have: < Kramnik-Topalov 34 >

Mar-28-14		wordfunph: mate <WinKing>, thanks a bunch! Round 13: Andreikin-Aronian 1/2 46 Karjakin-Anand 1/2 34 Svidler-Mamedyarov 1/2 34 Kramnik-Topalov 1/2 34

Mar-29-14		OhioChessFan: Games have started

Mar-29-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ In Game Update ♔ Kramnik and Topa have a drawish position approaching the time control. Svidler/Mamedyarov just reached time control in a Rook and Pawn ending. Karjakin and Vishy just reached time control in an unbalanced material position. Karjakin is slightly better. Andreikin is better against Aronian. <OhioChessFan> has finally figured out what day it is.
