<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)

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 1 Recap **

We're off and running in a small field. It only took one round for our contestants to miss a jackpot opporutnity as nobody was man enough to predict a Carlsen loss. <amw>, <GE> and <OCF> weren't man enough to score a point. Now our contestants have to decide whether MC's reign is over or this loss was just an aberation. It's rumored some of the contestants have headed to the Wesley So page for some unbiased insight on the matter. 9 rounds to go in our titanic struggle.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 2 Recap **

A group of 3 HOFers leads the way as <Switch> <Winky> and <juan> top the leaderboards. <Switch> leads/tieds 3 of the Rankers, and <Winky> and <juan> lead/tie 2 of the Rankers. <OCF> finally scored some points, so we're still looking for <amw> and <GE> to get with the program. <amw> and <GE> were grumbling about the bad advice they got on the Wesley So page, as they were led to believe Carlsen would never win a game again.

Can someone stop the 3 headed monster leading all the categories? Can 1 of the 3 headed monsters step out and make a move for an outright and not shared lead? Will <amw> and <GE> quit listening to the So-bots and start picking Carlsen to win? Stay tuned for the answers to these and many more questions. Only 8 rounds to go in our thrilling contest.

Jul-15-16  WinKing: Round 3

Giri - So 1/2 45
Carlsen - Karjakin 1/2 47
Nakamura - Wei 1/2 45

Jul-15-16  WinKing: What I love about Bilbao <OCF> is that these guys are trying to kick the crap out of each other...pardon my French. Look at the # of moves from the first six games - Round 1 (46,57,50) Round 2 (60,46,83). They are staying at the boards instead of shaking hands quickly. I'm lovin' it!
