<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)

Jan-25-09  just a kid: Oh my god!I got an exact!I am at a loss of words...
Jan-25-09  NakoSonorense: <just a kid> Congratulations! Well done!

This is my second exact prediction, unless I overlooked something.

It's ridiculously hard to predict that. What are the odds?

3 possible results, 1-0, 1/2, 0-1. Longest game has been 80 moves and the shortest one was 14 moves, which gives a range of 66.

Chances of getting an exact is 1/(3*66), approximately 0.5%!

Jan-25-09  hms123: <OCF> We have work to do.
Jan-25-09  just a kid: <Nakosonorense>Thanks.I have come close to the exact even one move off! Some examples:
<Adams-Dominguez, 1/2-1/2 in 43 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [['NakoSonorense', '1/2-1/2', '43']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [['just a kid', '1/2-1/2', '42']]

<Kamsky-Yue, 1/2-1/2 in 24 moves.>

Over, 3 points: [['just a kid', '1/2-1/2', '25']]

<Aronian-Van Wely, 1/2-1/2 in 50>

Exact, 10 points: [['just a kid','1/2-1/2', '25']]

About time I got my due. =)
