<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: <Integ: The issue is not whether the cross was foreshadowed in prophecy (I agree it was), but whether its significance was already explicit, understood, and preached.> I don't agree that is the issue.

   Apr-11-26 Stockfish vs Fire, 2014

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

   Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum

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.

   Apr-10-26 offramp chessforum

OhioChessFan: Clint Black - Nothing But the Taillights https://youtu.be/VtJWpjMAKII?si=n6N...

   Apr-10-26 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Artie Shaw - Interlude in B Flat https://youtu.be/Bq1oiDOlFZo?si=3Oo... An early example of what came to be called Third Stream Jazz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third...

   Apr-10-26 P Lalic vs P Large, 2024

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.

   Apr-08-26 chessgames.com chessforum

OhioChessFan: I didn't check each number, but this appears to be the highest in the sequence: User: outlookindia197jm All the 1_1 up to 191 have user names attached.

   Apr-08-26 Caruana vs Giri, 2026

OhioChessFan: I guess nobody ever explained en passant to Fabi.

Apr-02-14		OhioChessFan: Thanks <Everyone> The idea is majorly cool after all. Nobody in my work and social arenas paid much attention to April 1.

Apr-09-14		WannaBe: <OCF> Since you were asking about cell phone and plans... http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/9/55... For me, that 500MB is not quite enough, I average about 1G per month, since I use my phone as hot spot and tether my iPad (WiFi only version) to it. As of right now (9 days of use) I am up to 289MB of data usage. But it may be enough for you. Just FYI.

Apr-14-14		Travis Bickle: Here's a song for you Elvis. "Way to go Ohio"... ; P My City Was Gone - The Pretenders http://youtu.be/ituP5X7kP64

Apr-18-14		WCC Editing Project: <Esteemed River> I just now finished the first paragraph of Game Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951, so it's open for editing suggestions, whenever the editing muse strikes you next.

Apr-23-14		WCC Editing Project: CURRENT DRAFT UNDER INSPECTION FOR PROMOTION: GGame Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951 DUE DATE- THE DAY I WILL SUBMIT THIS DRAFT TO <Daniel>: Submission Day <<<Sunday, 27 April (Korean time)>>>

Apr-26-14		WCC Editing Project: Good morning. Yes, it's morning in Korea! I checked all the notes on Game Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951 twice now, and I believe they are in order, and also I think there are no spelling or format mistakes? But I'm here to let you know that I won't be handing the draft in until just before I go to bed around 12 hours from now. You've been coming up with more than a few 11th hour "winning edits," so- A: I appreciate your skill and hard work in this area. B: Still 11 hours to go in case you find anything.

Apr-27-14		Travis Bickle: Mr Presley, I commend you on an Excellent Forum Title! LOL!! Trouble - Elvis http://youtu.be/zfkLnZhhoTY

Apr-27-14		Thanh Phan: Oh, I really do miss Kansas, Toto... http://randomoverload.org/i-miss-ka...

Apr-29-14		WCC Editing Project: CURRENT DRAFT UNDER INSPECTION FOR PROMOTION: <Game Collection: WCC: Lasker-Janowski 1910> DUE DATE- THE DAY I WILL SUBMIT THIS DRAFT TO <Daniel>: Submission Day <<<<two weeks> starting after <Daniel> promotes and then finishes correcting any errata for Game Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951>>>

May-01-14		WCC Editing Project: <The time control was 15 moves per hour.<9> The time control was 15 moves per hour.<9>> I think we got that point nailed down.> heh...

May-21-14		WCC Editing Project: Man was I happy to see you. Another debacle! I've missed you. I take it you don't see any more editing improvements on Game Collection: WCC: Lasker-Janowski 1910? <Daniel> is taking even more time than usual on promoting our <Charles Bronson> draft, but I don't want to nag him. Any more than I usually do, at any rate. QUESTION: Does the squeaky wheel get the grease, or does the squeaky wheel get greased? On good news, I believe that our friend <T-bone> may return from his vacation in the near future. We've been emailing and he sounds in fine fettle. At any rate, I hope you, too, are well. Here is some music. I trust you'll let me know if it's "SCREWHEAD" or not. You may recall that you did appoint yourself as the one true "screwhead music arbiter," though if I'm not mistaken there was some resistance to that from <Trombone>. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouu... My Dad used to play this one a lot.

May-21-14		OhioChessFan: Like chess, editing comes on the amateur in gusts. I am massively lazy, and rarely can force myself to ugh, work, on editing. Odd as it seems, it's fun for me. But it's only fun when I'm in the mood to do it. On this site, the driver of the car simply puts on ear plugs when the wheel starts squeaking. <Travis> has got to stop the in character threatening posts. Never okay. And the masked profanities aren't okay for a professing Christian. Hmmm, is it wrong to speak of him in the third person? I suspect he wouldn't mind.

May-21-14		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> I doubt he'd mind, especially since you are a loyal friend who "tells it like it is" as a matter of character. I suspect <Travis> already knows all this himself. The thing I really don't like is the way certain people target <Travis>, knowing full well he's likely to go berserk. This latest go-round all started after <Travis> made a totally appropriate and useful chess post on the <Fischer> page, and <Petrosianic> jumped in to mock him in a most supercilious manner. <Travis> has flaws for sure, but he's got 10 times the heart that guy has. You and I have been known to show some temper as well eh? Well me more than you. Ok a lot more than you.

May-21-14		jessicafischerqueen: <puts on ear plugs> AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahah

May-21-14		OhioChessFan: Yes, I don't like the targeting. I've engaged in a little of that, for laughs. However, when you see other people do something you find offensive, it can be very enlightening to realize that they are ummmmmmmm.........doing exactly what you do too. I had too many of those moments on the RiffRaff page and had to take a step or trwo hundred back.

May-24-14		WCC Editing Project: It's alive! Thank you for ringing the bell!
