Moves Ranker (# of 1st place Under/Over) - Through <Round 6>

Score, UserID

<Karposian> had another perfect 10 that round. All of the other competitors are going to sign a petition asking <Penguincw> to quit challenging <Karposian> any more. In any case, <Karposian> has the outright lead in 3 Rankers. <lostemperor> has not been intimidated by <Karposian's> smack talk duing his hot streak and continues to lead the Bonus Ranker.

It won't work. Despite efforts by the MPC Leadership (OCF & cm) to rig this contest, I will secure enough points to win after the first ballot. So there's not gonna be a brokered cee-gee convention. My opponents are all low-energy, especially <"Lyin' Peng">. He dared challenging me, and look what happened!

The excitement is apparently too much for <chessmoron> as he can't decide just what round it is.

<Norway 2016: <Round 6> Result >

<Moves+Bonus Ranker - Through <Round 7>>

<Moves Ranker (# of 1st place Under/Over) - Through <Round 8>>

<WinKing> had a huge 21 point round, including a perfect 10, and has jumped into the Moves+Bonus Ranker lead. <Karposian> got a little overconfident, lost focus, and didn't score a point that round, while his allegedly desperate nemesis <Penguince> scored 14 while sneaking up to second in #1 Ranker. <Karposian> still leads in 2 Rankers. <lostemperor> continued his solid performance and still leads Bonus Ranker.

Who <is> intimidated?

< 3 rounds to go, as the competitors are considering banding together to stop <Karposian> ala John Kasich and Ted Cruz. >

That's a great idea. However, as proven in real life, it might not work out. Might be better just to defeat him the normal way.

< Karposian: Despite efforts by the MPC Leadership (OCF & cm) to rig this contest... >

Still mad about Sinquefield 2014?

< My opponents are all low-energy, especially <"Lyin' Peng">. >

I think low-time might be a better way to describe me. :) However, I am one of the most honest people I know, if you ask me. (thanks for calling me <Peng> though)

But if I'm Cruz (he is Canadian, but if I were American, I'd go democrat), who does that make you?

< #MakeThisContestGreatAgain >

...

< Seeing <Penguincw>'s round 7 predictions, I sense a smell of desperation. >

It seems like your definition of desperation seems to be the following:

1) Making adjustments to your strategy as the tournament goes along.

2) Choosing the same # of moves and result for each game (which happens all the time).

< He's not in a good place right now. >

Are you saying I'm not in heaven?
