<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.

Nov-07-14		OhioChessFan: <key: <SwitchingQuylthulg> -- you picked 10 games and predicted all draws. Wouldn't they play two more games in that case?> Oh dear, you're questioning Switch's betting strategy?

Nov-07-14		john barleycorn: After 12 games it is 6-6. Anand will win the rapids.

Nov-07-14		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> are you okay with the various ways people are posting picks? Some are starting every game selection with Carlsen, some are starting with whoever has White that game, etc.

Nov-07-14		call14: <OhioChessFan: <call14> You <must> pick all rounds before the start.> Ok, thanks. Here is my full prediction.

Nov-07-14		OhioChessFan: Let's make that rule even more clear: 2. All predictions for all games must be posted on OhioChessFan chessforum before NOV 8th, 2014. Specifically, by 11:59 PM November 7th, Chessgames.com time

Nov-07-14		WannaBe: Just to be a "smart-azz" <4. I will post results after game 3, game 6, game 9, and game 12.> So, if the match ends after game 10 or 11, we won't know who won the prediction contest?! =))

Nov-07-14		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the World Chess Championship 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 the first round game you think Anand with White will defeat Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say: Anand-Carlsen 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. Scores will be posted after the 3rd, 6th, and 9th round. (And at the end before some Smart Bunny speaks up). We have some new players, so I will point out the scoring system (Check my profile) is heavily weighted toward being under the actual number of moves. Feel free to ask questions. I'm not 100% sure we've got everything worked out but there you go.

Nov-07-14		OhioChessFan: 12 people so far, 3 1/2 hours to go. There are some Hall of Famers I expect to show up but we'll see how it goes. Welcome to the first timers. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the scoring, and don't be afraid to share concerns about a mistake anywhere along the way.

Nov-07-14		PinnedPiece: <OCF> How have you been? Looks like you've been pretty active all over CG in the interim. ---- Game predictions (what a farce that I am doing this!!!): G1: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 42 G2: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 54 G3: Anand-Carlsen 0-1 31 G4: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 40 G5: Anand-Carlsen 1-0 42 G6: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 50 G7: Carlsen-Anand 1-0 36 G8: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 48 G9: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 48 G10: Anand-Carlsen 0-1 40 G11: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 48 Score - 4.5 - 6.5 If this is enough, disregard my last prediction. G12: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 32

Thanks <OCF>

Nov-07-14		PinnedPiece: <Penguincw: < If this is enough, disregard my last prediction. > I know it's none of my business, but is that counted as part of your prediction, or not part of your prediction? :) > [Note: nbow deleted!!! :)))] Hahaha! I am always on the lookout for rule-bending possibilities. It just means that if a 12th game is not necessary, I don't expect to be penalized! But I completely bow to the judgement and decision of the rule-makers! I think (really) the match may go the whole twelve. The last game may be the decider. So I will accept any Arbiter's decision that I MUST stand with the twelth game prediction. However..... :)

Nov-07-14		Penguincw: < PinnedPiece: <Penguincw: < If this is enough, disregard my last prediction. > I know it's none of my business, but is that counted as part of your prediction, or not part of your prediction? :) > [Note: nbow deleted!!! :)))] > Oh sorry. I had a 2nd look at my post, and thought that it was too, "pointless". And then I saw you reply. :\| Uh, so, good luck then. :)

Nov-08-14		OhioChessFan: <PiPi> you got to go one way or the other with it. Is the 12th game in or out? It doesn't matter if you've picked 6.5 points in the previous games. It's fair game to strategize that and pick fewer. But you need to commit to it right now.

Nov-08-14		chessmoron: <OhioChessFan> I'm not going to count <PinnedPiece>'s 12th game since by game 11, Carlsen already scored 6.5 by his prediction.

Nov-08-14		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> fair enough, though if he'd made it a part of his original, I'd see no problem with that. As one extreme hypothetical, I might think the match would be over by the 11th game, but realize everyone else does, too. So there'd be an easy 7 points to be made <if> the 12th game did occur. I might decide the chance of an easy 7 points is worth the risk of being penalized 5 points.

Nov-08-14		siamesedream: World Chess Championship 2014 G1: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 43 G2: Carlsen-Anand 1-0 57 G3: Anand-Carlsen 0-1 72 G4: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 55 G5: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 45 G6: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 62 G7: Carlsen-Anand 1-0 66 G8: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 70 G9: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 55 G10: Anand-Carlsen 1/2 47 G11: Carlsen-Anand 1/2 40
