<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. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

OhioChessFan: Yep, there's a sorta kinda perpetual involved.

   Nov-05-25 Niemann vs L Lodici, 2025

OhioChessFan: White has three Pawns for a poorly placed Knight. I'd rather have the Knight, but as of move 29, I don't see any particular plans for

OhioChessFan: <Integ: Brown commie promises brown immigrants <free stuffs> paid for by white people. Got it.> This is so bad that even <HeMateMe!> is worried about government spending for the first time in his life.

   Nov-04-25 Chessgames - Sports

   Nov-04-25 D Gukesh vs K Nogerbek, 2025

   Nov-04-25 R Balinas vs C Blocker, 1979

Nov-23-14		Penguincw: Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OCF> for hosting, and congrats to all the medalists. By the way, <chessmoron> if you're planning to update the medalists, please see this post first: OhioChessFan chessforum. Thanks. < The regular prediction contest will suit up for Tata Steel in January. > I was looking forward to LCC, but I'll stop whining... P.S. If anyone actually cares, I have updated (or about to) the gold medal leaders for this contest. See User: Gold Medal Leaders for details.

Nov-23-14		OhioChessFan: Thanks <Penguin> and of course you realize I deleted a post each of us made in the middle of the final results once they were fixed. Glad you're around to double check the work.

Nov-23-14		chessmoron: <Penguincw> I have updated the medalists. You will see that after when Tata Steel 2015 winners will be announced. However the winner's here in WCC14 will not be in the regular <WINNER'S CORNER>. It will have it's separate <WINNER'S CORNER> for the WCC Match.

Nov-23-14		keypusher: Thanks everyone, and thanks especially <OCF> and <chessmoron>. I've never done one of these, but I enjoyed it. Probably like a lot of people, I predicted the overall match correctly (+3-1=7) but I was right for the wrong reasons. Anand was both more aggressive and more blunder-prone than I expected. I wasn't overly impressed with Carlsen's play, Game 2 and some nice defensive efforts aside. Hoping for Carlsen-Caruana in 2016, and all honor to Vishy for a valiant effort!

Nov-23-14		juan31: Chessmoron y OhioChessFan; as always thanks for all your attentions, congratulations to the winners. Gracias

Nov-24-14		bubuli55: Thanks to everyone esp < chessmoron > and < OhioChessFan > :)

Nov-24-14		SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan>, and congratulations to all medalists! My prediction of ten draws and no other games was way off, but fortunately it didn't cost me :)

Nov-24-14		wordfunph: <chessmoron> <OhioChessFan>, thank you. congrats to all winners! till next contest.

Nov-28-14		jessicafischerqueen: <OhioPressGang> I wanted to thank you for those great Shagspr quotes. This is true blue dedication, I must say. I had to look up the last one, embarrassingly enough...
