<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:

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

OhioChessFan: Tab Benoit - Cherry Tree Blues https://youtu.be/zywljG5mP1U?si=wPI... Raging guitar work.

   Apr-12-26 Chessgames - Politics

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 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.

Jul-16-14		chessmoron: Need someone to do Round 4 and 5.

Jul-16-14		OhioChessFan: ♔ Round 3 Recap ♔ In a stunning upset, as a cold front sweeps the United States, and reportedly the pits of hell, <PinnedPiece> took the lead in 2 categories. <chessmoron> was so shocked by the development, he had to take 2 days off to recover psychologically. Hall of Famers <Switch> and <lostemperor> lead the other 2 categories. Only 4 rounds to go in this short tournament. Can <PinnedPiece> hold on? If he does, and hell does freeze over, will <PinnedPiece> use that on the Rogoff page to prove his point global warming is a myth? Will <chessmoron> opt for a lobotomy? Will <WinKing> come through and handle the next 2 rounds as <OhioChessFan> so fervently hopes? Stay tuned.

Jul-16-14		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> I note <PinnedPiece> had 2 Moves Ranker #1's that round but only 1 he previously scored was listed in the standings. I understand your disbelief he could be in first in 3 categories, but there you have it.
