 | | tpstar: Round 1 has started. =) |
|
Nov-08-14
 | | OhioChessFan: Thanks <tps> :o) When are we going to get you entered? 18 entries, lots of work for <chessmoron> <Penguincw> will be on the prowl to help, but we'll miss <WinKing> |
|
| Nov-08-14 | | PinnedPiece: I think my 12th prediction should be counted as part of my set. Maybe the best strategy is to predict 7 or 8 wins for Magnus then stop! ....everyone else would stand a chance of point deductions with too many predictions --unless of course the match goes all 12. . |
|
Nov-08-14
 | | keypusher: Well, I got the result right, but the game went on a little longer than I predicted. |

|
| Nov-08-14 | | chessmoron: <Round 1 Recap> Congratulations to <bubuli55> (7), <siamesedream> (6), and <PinnedPiece> (5). |

| | OhioChessFan: Yes, I was happy with my 40 move prediction but was shut out. This is going to be tough. |

| | OhioChessFan: 3 points isn't bad. Sure wish there was a 1st Place Ranker. |

| Nov-11-14 | | PinnedPiece: Game 3 Anand-Carlsen 1-0....I don't find that anyone predicted this victory... Is that right? |
|

| | OhioChessFan: Ummm, I think I did but somehow it got deleted from the forum. Let me repost it now. |

I can confirm that. There were 4 predictions of 0-1 and 14 of 1/2-1/2, but no 1-0. < OhioChessFan: Ummm, I think I did but somehow it got deleted from the forum. Let me repost it now. > Really? My records (which I did on Saturday morning) say that you predicted a draw in 45 moves. I also checked the forum for deleted posts, and although there were some, I doubt they were yours... |

| | OhioChessFan: ♔ Rounds 1-3 Recap ♔
As expected, this is a very hard format to score points in. 2/3 of the entrants don't have a point yet. For 3 games, the maximum score possible would be 72 points. We have reached 1/3 of that with 24 points. <WoolyBully> has the lead but the contest is wide open. <Penguincw> hasn't figured out <OhioChessFan> is pulling his leg or flipper or something about a supposed predicted Anand win. 9, or fewer, rounds to go. |
|
Nov-12-14
| | keypusher: <OCF> Thanks for hosting this. I have to say, I'm surprised -- even if I got a point just for predicting the right result in a game (which would make this contest a little less depressing for all of us down at zero), I'd have only a point from four games right now. |
|
Nov-12-14
| | OhioChessFan: <key> yeah, it's brutal sometimes. I think the record is 8 rounds before someone scored, and that was with 3 or 4 games a round to hit one. I won't be surprised at all if some people don't score a point in this format. It amounts to only 4 rounds of a typical 6 man tournament, 12 games to score. We have people shut out that long all the time. I always hope people do get <something> because a 0 by your name is pretty depressing. |

Just "thinking" out loud- why not let an actual Monkey choose the "range parameter"? 20-90 sounds good to me, but the I'm only a Womenkey. |
