<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

OhioChessFan: <BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."> Poor ...

   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.

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

Jan-26-15		bubuli55: Thanks for the games < chessmoron > and < OCF >. Congratz to the winners:)

Jan-26-15		kellmano: yes thanks <OCF> and <chessmoron> and apologies for not partaking in the last two rounds, which was down to pure forgetfulness/busyness. I recognise that it might appear rude or ungrateful but I can only plead that I would lose my own head if it were not screwed on and that's just a trait of mine. Anyhow, apologies.

Jan-26-15		chessmoron: <kellmano> It's not rude or ungrateful at all. I only try to help the participants for better rankings when they are doing so well.

Jan-26-15		Penguincw: BTW: If anyone wants to view the Gold Medal Leaders, for this contest, I have updated them here: User: Gold Medal Leaders. If you see any errors (even if it's in formatting or spelling/grammar or whatever), please let me know on my forum. Thanks. :)

Jan-31-15		OhioChessFan: Hey, do ya'll remember when I went to meet the President? http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/...

Jan-31-15		Travis Bickle: Yes I remember Elvis. What were you doing with Tricky Dick? ; P http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013...

Feb-01-15		jessicafischerqueen: <The Esteemed Member from Ohio> I'll be back soon to answer your latest Knick-Knack joke. Thanks for your friendly and informative posts on divers matters in my forum whilst I've been gone. I know it's "diverse" but sometimes I like to use the archaic English spelling, primarily to annoy folks.

Feb-02-15		Jack Bauer: Greetings, <Ohio University Shootout> fyi http://kevinspraggettonchess.wordpr... I want my money back! ;)

Mar-24-15		optimal play: <OhioChessFan> Please accept my apology for any offence caused to you by my unfortunate attempt at humour on my forum.

Mar-24-15		OhioChessFan: Didn't bother me a bit.

Apr-08-15		Fusilli: Hello <OCF> and visitors! I figured I'd post this question on a heavy-traffic forum rather than the Kibitzer's cafe, where it would get buried quickly under a pile of political commentary. My friend's 12-year old son wants to pick up chess. He knows how to move the pieces, but that's pretty much all he knows. He needs to learn from zero, even rook and king vs king mate. I want to buy him a book or two of chess for beginners. Any recommendations?

Apr-08-15		chancho: <Fusilli> This might be helpful: http://www.alibris.com/search/books...

Apr-09-15		Fusilli: Thanks <Chancho>!

Apr-12-15		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> going to do Gashimov?

Apr-14-15		jessicafischerqueen: <Honorable Member from Ohio> Good news! It's the "Ham Era." Proof: User: ham

Apr-14-15		WinKing: Hi <OCF> & <chessmoron>. <lostemperor> will hold his prediction contest for the Gashimov Memorial if enough members sign up. Just wanted to let you guys know. :)

Apr-15-15		chessmoron: All right. Let's do that.

Apr-15-15		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Gashimov Memorial 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 Giri with White will defeat Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say: Giri-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. It can seem intimidating to new players, but no worries. Feel free to ask questions. I will point out the scoring system (in my profile) is heavily weighted toward being under and not over, the actual number of moves. We hope the pairings will be released Thursday but that is always a problem. We've had to skip the first round scoring a couple times but it will all work out.
