 | | OhioChessFan: ♔ Sinquefield Cup Moves Prediction Contest ♔
Welcome to the Sinquefield Cup Moves Prediction Contest. This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in a first round game you think Aronian with White will defeat Nakamura in 40 moves, your entry would say: Aronian-Nakamura 1-0 40
While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <YouRang> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. It really isn't as painful to miss a round as it is in <YouRang> contest. The winners often have rounds they don't score a single point. So don't fret if you miss a round. Pay attention to the matchups and to the tournament strategy. For example, if a player has an insurmountable lead in the last round, you just might expect a very short draw. In general, it's better to be under the number of moves than over because of the scoring system, so keep that in mind. There are a number of other nuances that will occur to you as the tournament progresses. |

You're welcome, although that's the 2nd time I've robbed someone of 5 points. :| My apologizes to <Karposian>, <juan31>, <Beholder> and <Golden Executive>. Hopefully it doesn't affect the outcome of the tournament, but I'm pretty sure <OCF> is mad that I robbed him of an extra silver last time. :) Round 2:
Nakamura - Carlsen 1/2-1/2 37
Caruana - Vachier Lagrave 1/2-1/2 40
Aronian - Topalov 1/2-1/2 35 |

| | Penguincw: BTW: <chessmoron>, while I got your attention (hopefully), when you have time (presumably after the tournament), can you update the Hall of Fame. I'm noticing that your HOF doesn't match with what's posted in previous contests. For example, you list yourself as having 19 golds (including 2 in the pre-OCF era). However, I actually have you listed at 21 first place finishes, plus those 2. For your convenience, I listed all the links below. If you want me to do it, I'm find with that. I just want an accurate recording.
