<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

   Nov-14-25 McShane vs I Samunenkov, 2025

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

   Nov-14-25 Mikhail Golubev

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: As for <plang> : <plang: I think, combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) can't prove that they have suffered harm because they often don't have visible scars but most human beings would acknowledge their condition.> They indeed can ...

   Nov-14-25 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Last living student of Sergei Rachmaninoff...

   Nov-13-25 D Moody vs D Helf, 1976

OhioChessFan: "Dewey, I'm Cut in Helf Pretty Bad"

   Nov-12-25 Nakamura vs T Dokka, 2025

OhioChessFan: "Dokka Shame"

   Nov-12-25 J Bars vs M Hohlbein, 2024

OhioChessFan: Wow, what an amazing game to review.

   Nov-11-25 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1850

OhioChessFan: From 7 years ago, I stand corrected. 17...Kb1 18. 0-0 and White is crushing.

Jun-04-16		WinKing: Thanks to <chessmoron> for running & <OhioChessFan> for hosting this contest! Congratulations to all of those that won medals! Kudos to <SwitchingQuylthulg> on yet another 'Triple Crown'. I would like to reminisce a little here back on April 30th when someone said: "I've won too many silver medals lately... <WinKing> isn't leaving much gold for the rest of us." Back at ya <Switch>! ;)

Jun-04-16		OhioChessFan: Final Recap A rather feeble round ended our contest as 3 games had no scoring. <wordfunph> was seen wandering around the arena asking everyone he met why this contest had so many non-scoring games compared to <GE's> place. <GE> was still complaining about the fact there were more draws under 41 moves than in a normal tournament without such a rule. There was an appropriate end to a tournament with a 41 move minimum draw offer invoked to have one more game end in a draw in less than 41 moves. In any case, <Switch> added 3 more golds to his collection. <WinKing> won the other, along with a bronze. <GE> won 2 silvers, <OCF> won one silver and 2 bronze-his favorite medal, <juan31> won a silver and <Penguincw> won a bronze. <Karposian> and <whiteshark> never showed up. Thanks to everyone for playing, and hope we're back in action soon.

Jun-05-16		SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for hosting, and congratulations to the medalists!

Jun-05-16		OhioChessFan: Anyone else having withdrawals?

Jun-05-16		OhioChessFan: Dortmund or Bilbao? And will it matter which <GE> runs?

Jun-05-16		WannaBe: Too lazy to go back and 'research', I really don't remember Dortmund and/or Bilbao being so close (date wise) and much less over-lap... Ugh.

Jun-06-16		lostemperor: Thanks <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for another fun contest.

Jul-13-16		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Bilbao Moves Prediction Contest. This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in the first round game you think Karjakin with White will defeat So in 40 moves, your entry would say: Karjakin - So 1-0 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <GoldenExecutive> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. It can seem intimidating to new players, but no worries. Feel free to ask questions. I will point out the scoring system (in my profile) is heavily weighted toward being under and not over, the actual number of moves.

Jul-13-16		OhioChessFan: Karjakin - So 1/2 40 Giri - Wei 1/2 35 Carlsen - Nakamura 1-0 42

Jul-13-16		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 1: Karjakin - So 1/2 41 Giri - Wei 1/2 43 Carlsen - Nakamura 1/2 43

Jul-13-16		SwitchingQuylthulg: Round 1 games have started.

Jul-13-16		Penguincw: Round 2: So - Nakamura 1/2-1/2 44 Wei - Carlsen 1/2-1/2 44 Karjakin - Giri 1/2-1/2 44

Jul-13-16		juan31: <Round 2 > So - Nakamura 1/2. 44 Wei - Carlsen 0-1. 44 Karjakin - Giri 1/2. 45
