<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-26-25 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Charlie Watts-Going Going Gone https://youtu.be/XlKud6_Y1eM?si=b1n...

   Oct-24-25 Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006

OhioChessFan: I ran Deep Fritz's moves through an engine and they matched exactly! Clearly it cheated.

   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.

Jun-03-14		OhioChessFan: Welcome aboard <penguin> I've been expecting you. I also expect <Switch> and <Robin01> to show up.

Jun-03-14		Robin01: Round 1: Aronian - Agdestein 1-0 39 Karjakin - Topalov 1/2 32 Grischuk - Caruana 1/2 38 Svidler - Kramnik 1/2 32 Carlsen - Giri 1/2 37

Jun-03-14		OhioChessFan: And there we go. I also thought <SloVice> might show up.

Jun-03-14		WinKing: Hey <Switch> I see you are the only one here who picked Grischuk over Caruana. That may very well be. Grischuk has always been one of my favorite players. My only knock on him is he gets into time trouble way too often. In fairness to Grischuk though he does seem to become more focused when the seconds on the clock start dwindling.

Jun-03-14		OhioChessFan: As of now, 13 entrants, 12 of them in the Hall of Fame. No pressure, <PinnedPiece>

When nobody expects something, nothing is as good as anything. I'm an altruistic type person who likes to see winners triumph over large numbers of challengers. Thats why I participate! .
