<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-28-25 Schlechter vs Mason, 1899

OhioChessFan: I assume the pun refers to Deconstructing America, which would be a bit more intellectual than most puns.

   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.>
