<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: I know everyone gets predictions wrong, but <HeMateMe> is in another universe for wrong predictions. I ran a search of user:hemateme trump Hillary. It brought back 50 pages. Here's the wrong predictions from that search alone: <After a few third place finishes in the ...

   Oct-31-25 Traxler vs J Hamr, 1893

OhioChessFan: It's not Hamr Time.

   Oct-31-25 Blackburne vs A Broom, 1879

OhioChessFan: Like it. Or maybe Swept Away.

   Oct-30-25 Tal vs K Klasups, 1952

OhioChessFan: Here's a clip from the pun's movie reference: https://youtu.be/TVi1NlYBljU?si=3Az...

   Oct-29-25 I Ivanov vs I Rogers, 1982

OhioChessFan: Really like the pun

   Oct-28-25 Biographer Bistro

OhioChessFan: Who has access to correct game annotations? O H von Haken vs A Gize, 1913 After move 16, "All pieces" instead of "Allpieces". After move 34, "transparent" instead of "trasparent".

   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-23-25 E Dervishi vs F Berend, 2004

OhioChessFan: I like the pun.

Jul-12-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ Round 2 Pairings Notice ♔ Round 2 has the game Baramidze-Naiditsch. There were several websites and a few entries on <YouRang> contest that incorrectly listed Naiditsch with White in that game.

Jul-12-14		OhioChessFan: Still hoping to see <Switch> <Nako> and <SloVice>

Jul-12-14		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 1: Baramidze - Caruana 1/2 36 Naiditsch - Adams 1/2 41 Kramnik - Meier 1-0 41 Leko - Ponomariov 1/2 26

Jul-12-14		Penguincw: I think there's an error: < Robin01: Round 1: Baramidze - Caruana 0-1 38 Naiditsch - Adams 1/2-1/2 35 Kramnik - Meier 1-0 41 Leko - Ponomariov 1/2-1/2 30 > If I'm not mistaken, should be 5 points for Robin01 (sorry OCF).

Jul-12-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ Round 1 Recap ♔ <lostemperor> has forsaken his contest to concentrate on winning this one. He was quite successful in that effort as he leads 3 categories. <WinKing> leads the other category. <OhioChessFan> was tied for the lead in that category until the meddling <penguincw> had to mess everything up. We're off and running with 6 rounds to go.
