[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)

OhioChessFan: Nice analysis from Mikhail Golubev https://www.chess.com/blog/MikhailG...

OhioChessFan: I just played over the Samunenkov game. What do you think of the Petroff in general? Do you need to be booked up on the latest lines or can you just rely on general principles?
 
   Nov-14-25 V Biliy vs V Golovach, 2003
 
OhioChessFan: Wildly entertaining game that lasted a long time with an odd material imbalance. 41...Ke5 was losing, as it gave up the skewer on the two Rooks on the long diagonal. 41...Kd7 would have been fine.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 13 Recap **

Both <chessmoron> and <GE> are back from their work on the Trump campaign. Trump kicked <cm> out for having hands twice as big as his, saying, "There's only room for one top dog here and it's me, short hands or not." Trump despised and envied <GE's> business sense, and had to let him go when he found out <GE> got his CPA when he was 17.

Back to the contest, things have gotten very exciting. <Switch> leads in Moves Ranker and shares the lead in #1 Ranker with <OhioChessFan> who finally woke up. <WinKing> continues his solid lead in Bonus Ranker and has a one point lead over <Switch> in the Moves+Bonus Ranker, the most prestigious of our contests.

In other news, <whiteshark> actually predicted a Black win, and was rewarded when Naka came through. <OhioChessFan> sent a telegram to Caruana, chastising him for being unable to convert a win today. <juan31> is trying to quietly move up in the leaderboard as he is currently 3rd, 3rd, 4th, and 3rd in the 4 Rankers.

Fortunately, there is no NCAA tournament action tomorrow, so sports fans won't have to choose between basketball and this contest. The stakes are high, the tension is excruciating, and the contestants are ready. One round to go and the crowd is going wild.

Mar-27-16  Golden Executive: <<Aronian-Karjakin, 1/2-1/2 in 101 moves.>

Exact, 10 points: []
Under, 7 points: [['OhioChessFan', '1/2-1/2', '48']] 2nd Under, 6 points: [['SwitchingQuylthulg', '1/2-1/2', '43'], ['WinKing', '1/2-1/2', '43']]

3rd Under, 5 points: [['Golden Executive', '1/2-1/2', '40']]>

<chessmoron> You had Aronian-Karjakin 1/2 42 which is good for the 3rd Under with 5 points.

Mar-27-16  Golden Executive: But the summary is correct!
Mar-27-16  chessmoron: <GE> I actually caught that error beforehand. The results are correct.
