<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:
1. Game Collection: 1975 World Junior chess championship
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

   Nov-07-25 Fusilli chessforum

OhioChessFan: Yes. A couple trivial lines. 1. Rb7+ Ka8 2. Ra7+ Kb8 is clearly a repetition. If Black underpromotes, the White Rook draws.

   Nov-07-25 C Wells vs J Rush, 1963

OhioChessFan: "Fly-By Knight"

   Nov-07-25 K Hanache vs P Crocker, 2024

OhioChessFan: "Not Two Knights, I Have a Hanache"

   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

   Nov-04-25 Chessgames - Politics

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

OhioChessFan: Mike Royko was fantastic. Slats Grobnik was guaranteed to make me laugh myself silly.

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

OhioChessFan: Those crazy chess players, playing down to bare Kings....

   Nov-04-25 B Men vs Ftacnik, 1993

OhioChessFan: "Mad Men"

   Nov-04-25 A J Fink vs Alekhine, 1932

OhioChessFan: All you Block people stick together!

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

OhioChessFan: I never met him although he is a huge name in Ohio chess. I don't know how long he kept playing the King's Island Open but I might see if a few friends ever played him there.

Jan-15-15		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 5 games have started.

Jan-15-15		OhioChessFan: Thanks <Switch> In game update: Ding and Chucky fizzled into a 26 move draw. VL-VW is looking drawish. Wojtasek is a bit better against Caruana. So is a little better against Hou. Both are using a ton of time. Giri-Jobava looks drawish. Carlsen is a little better against Aronian. Radja with Black is a bit better against Saric.

Jan-15-15		OhioChessFan: Another update. Jobava made a move that I wouldn't on my worst day and lost to Giri in 36 moves. Carlsen converted the win against a declining Aronian in 47. Hou might survive against So. Wojtaszek just upset Caruana in 47. Radja with Black is close to winning against Saric.

Jan-15-15		OhioChessFan: Radja wins in 60.
