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.

Nice pun though.      Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum    OhioChessFan: <Fortunately, we have almost the same taste. High on my scale are Wagner, Richard Strauss, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Sibelius, Verdi - well the list could go on. And there is hardly any work that has touched me more than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.> Belatedly ...      Apr-10-26 Honza Cervenka chessforum   OhioChessFan: <The moral of this story is that people should learn endings, and especially seemingly trivial Pawn endings.> Even at the Super GM level, the end games skills of many players are sometimes poor.
