<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

Mar-13-16		WinKing: Hey <chessmoron> are you sure that Giri - Karjakin game was 29 moves long. I show it being 30 moves. Might want to check that. It affects the scoring.

Mar-13-16		Golden Executive: Yep, chessbase, chessbomb and chess24 have 30 moves which would mean an exact for <Penguincw> and <SwitchingQuylthulg>.

Mar-13-16		WinKing: <SwitchingQuylthulg> might have two perfect picks if that game was 30 moves. chess24, Chessdom & ChessBomb all show that game being 30 moves.

Mar-13-16		WinKing: Oh your right <GE> that would give <Penguincw> a perfect pick also.

Mar-13-16		OhioChessFan: nrk.no has it in 30. chessgames.com has it in 29. Playing the game over, the 29 move version makes more sense, but one more check by White is certainly possible. A Giri vs Karjakin, 2016

Mar-13-16		OhioChessFan: Looking at chessbase now and they have even Black making a 30th move, which seems a bit much, but certainly possible. Got a day to worry about it.

Mar-13-16		WinKing: Hey check this out guys. Might be old news but it's the first time I've seen it. http://worldchess.com/2016/03/12/of...

Mar-13-16		Golden Executive: The official web site shows 30 moves http://worldchess.com/2016/03/13/fl...

Mar-13-16		Penguincw: Yeah, when I was reviewing the scores, I thought it was 30 moves as well, but couldn't double check it (mobile is hard to navigate). Uh, does anyone have footage of R3? The only thing I could find was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWX.... If you pause at 58:06/58:37, it shows the position after 27.dxc5, but not any further...

Mar-14-16		Penguincw: Thanks <cm>, <OCF>, <GE> and <WK>. :)

Mar-14-16		Karposian: <OCF: <Karposian> leads nothing.> So nice of you to point that out :)

Mar-14-16		Karposian: <Penguincw: Thanks <cm>, <OCF>, <GE> and <WK>. :)> Yeah, thanks guys! FOR RUINING MY DAY EVEN MORE. Not only did I not get a single point from today's games, but I have to see <Pengo> get another perfect pick? This is too much. I will to my deathbed forever claim that the A Giri vs Karjakin, 2016 game was only 29 moves long.

Mar-14-16		Penguincw: < Karposian: ... Yeah, thanks guys! FOR RUINING MY DAY EVEN MORE. > Don't listen to this guy, he always has a bad day. < Not only did I not get a single point... > Hey, at least you're not the only one. Oh wait, you are.

Mar-14-16		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> you listed <WinKing> as a 2x perfect predictor on the corrected version, when in fact he had 1x and <Penguin> had 1x. I am stunned <Penguin> didn't point that out. Anyway, the scores look fine, and the 30 moves does look right, strange as that last move was.

Mar-14-16		wordfunph: Round 4: Svidler - Aronian 1/2 33 Caruana - Topalov 1/2 33 Karjakin - Anand 1/2 33 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 33

Mar-14-16		Robin01: Round 4 Predictions: Svidler - Aronian 0-1 43 Caruana - Topalov 1/2 38 Karjakin - Anand 1-0 37 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 44

Mar-14-16		Penguincw: Right now, I'm having done computer problems (should be fixed soon), but in the meantime Round 5: Giri - Svidler 1/2-1/2 30 Anand - Nakamura 1/2-1/2 40 Topalov - Karjakin 1/2-1/2 50 Aronian - Caruana 1/2-1/2 40 Round 6: Anand - Svidler 1/2-1/2 37 Toplalov - Giri 1/2-1/2 42 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2-1/2 35 Caruana - Karjakin 1/2-1/2 38

Mar-14-16		Karposian: <OhioChessFan: I am stunned <Penguin> didn't point that out.> <penguincw>'s momentary lapse of concentration shocked me, too. Let's hope it continues.. And I hate to admit it, but I agree with you that the Giri-Karjakin game lasted 30 moves. I took the job of checking it with multiple sources, and 30 moves definitely seems to be correct.

Mar-14-16		Golden Executive: Round 4: Svidler - Aronian 1/2 38 Caruana - Topalov 1-0 38 Karjakin - Anand 1/2 30 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 40

Mar-14-16		whiteshark: Round 4: Svidler - Aronian 1/2 45 Caruana - Topalov 1-0 45 Karjakin - Anand 1-0 45 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 30

Mar-14-16		Karposian: Round 4: Svidler - Aronian 1/2 33 Caruana - Topalov 1-0 40 Karjakin - Anand 1/2 37 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 34

Mar-14-16		OhioChessFan: Svidler - Aronian 1/2 37 Caruana - Topalov 1-0 38 Karjakin - Anand 1/2 40 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 42

Mar-14-16		juan31: Round 4 Svidler - Aronian 1/2 41 Caruana - Topalov 1/2 39 Karjakin - Anand 0-1 44 Nakamura - Giri 1/2 40

Mar-15-16		wordfunph: i will be out for 3 days.. Round 5: Giri - Svidler 1/2 35 Anand - Nakamura 1/2 36 Topalov - Karjakin 1-0 48 Aronian - Caruana 1/2 37 Round 6: Anand - Svidler 1/2 44 Topalov - Giri 1-0 46 Aronian - Nakamura 1/2 35 Caruana - Karjakin 1/2 46
