<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: <BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."> Poor ...

   Nov-07-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: Yes. A couple trivial lines. 1. Rb7+ Ka8 2. Ra7+ Kb8 is clearly a repetition. If Black underpromotes, the White Rook draws.

   Nov-07-25 C Wells vs J Rush, 1963

OhioChessFan: "Fly-By Knight"

   Nov-07-25 K Hanache vs P Crocker, 2024

OhioChessFan: "Not Two Knights, I Have a Hanache"

   Nov-05-25 Niemann vs L Lodici, 2025

OhioChessFan: White has three Pawns for a poorly placed Knight. I'd rather have the Knight, but as of move 29, I don't see any particular plans for

   Nov-04-25 Chessgames - Sports

OhioChessFan: Mike Royko was fantastic. Slats Grobnik was guaranteed to make me laugh myself silly.

   Nov-04-25 D Gukesh vs K Nogerbek, 2025

OhioChessFan: Those crazy chess players, playing down to bare Kings....

   Nov-04-25 B Men vs Ftacnik, 1993

OhioChessFan: "Mad Men"

   Nov-04-25 A J Fink vs Alekhine, 1932

OhioChessFan: All you Block people stick together!

   Nov-04-25 R Balinas vs C Blocker, 1979

OhioChessFan: I never met him although he is a huge name in Ohio chess. I don't know how long he kept playing the King's Island Open but I might see if a few friends ever played him there.

Jun-07-08		OhioChessFan: <AgentRgent> I agree with what you said. I've decided to delete my post and your response quoting me, since I think it's unfair of me to cast anonymous accusations.

Jun-07-08		OhioChessFan: To be fair, here's what <AgentRgent> said with what I said deleted out: <Very true, however please remember that disagreement with Israeli policy != Anti-semitism.>

Jun-07-08		Open Defence: <Ohio> also our differing views is not out of any hatred or malice, at least in my case and I believe in yours too, I think both of us would like to see a prosperous and peaceful world but have differing views on how that can be achieved

Jun-07-08		OhioChessFan: I don't think it can be achieved, so I'm sure we don't agree. On a more important note, I always think of you as OD, pronounced Odie, and ergo, here's the visual image I usually get: http://www.freefever.com/animatedgi...

Jun-08-08		OhioChessFan: Some thoughts about the breakup of the Soviet Union that I agree with. http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/rus...

Jun-13-08		OhioChessFan: Answer to May 24 problem: The Black King must always avoid allowing White to give check on the long diagonal and winning the Queen. So: 1 Qa5+ Kc4/i 2 Bxa2+ Kd4 3 Qxa7+ Kd3 4 Bc4+ and wins. i) 1...Kd4 2 Qb4+ Ke3 3 Qe1+ Kd4 4 Qg1+ Kc4 5 Bd3+ and wins.

Jun-17-08		twinlark: <Ohio> Message for you on my forum.

Jun-30-08		YouRang: <Ohio> You've been announced in my forum (you mentioned that you had some rest day entertainment)? :-)

Jul-06-08		Travis Bickle: I passed that test over 20 years ago, so alot of things have changed since then. The only advice I can give is know your Chicago geography and have a real good driving record.

Aug-16-08		OhioChessFan: Has it really been 31 years? Seems like yesterday. :(

Aug-16-08		Red October: Birthday ? :)

Aug-16-08		Red October: aaah figured it out....

Oct-03-08		klangenfarben: <El Rey>: I think there's a wide audience waiting for you to revive your Spanish-language career--remember when you were in the 2300s and knocked off Eric Schiller with Black in a miniature? â—˜ E Schiller vs G Rey, 2002

Oct-03-08		klangenfarben: your highness, you gotta have a bio... just some quote by yourself about yourself, something, your fans can't stand the silence since you left us...

Oct-03-08		WannaBe: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081003...

Nov-01-08		The Chess Express: So are you a Kelly Pavlik fan?

Nov-01-08		OhioChessFan: I can't suport boxing. All other sports, the goal is to score more points or finish quicker than your opponent. In boxing and related sports, the goal is to render another human unconscious. That's a little barbaric for my tastes, so I quit paying attention. I'm getting soft and liberal in my old age I guess. In my younger days, I thought Aaron Pryor was the most underrated fighter of all time. I admire your restraint on the BOTB page. I have a problem with anyone thinking a 5 minute review of a consultation game gives them the credibility to speak definitively.

Nov-02-08		OhioChessFan: http://mysite.verizon.net/vzesz4a6/...

Nov-02-08		The Chess Express: <OhioChessFan> I respect your feelings on boxing. I’m starting to feel the same way about chess.

Nov-03-08		OhioChessFan: I love this site more for the laughs than the chess.

Nov-11-08		OhioChessFan: http://www.apologeticspress.org/art...

Nov-13-08		Waitaka: <OhioChessFan> Please read my note on my forum. Thanks.

Nov-19-08		OhioChessFan: I figure I have the right to vent on my forum page, so.........I think h4 was the worst move the World has made in 4 games.

Nov-28-08		OhioChessFan: Unless it was Bb7. Oy vey, what in the world are that Pawn and Bishop doing on those squares?!

Nov-29-08		OhioChessFan: Guess who said this? Hint: He's a hero of many on this site. ”...[T]he chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shewn [shown] by man attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than woman can attain—whether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands”
