<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.

2. Ongoing edits Vladimir Ostrogsky
3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke

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 2 Recap **

Another mediocre performance by the contestants as only 65 points were scored, although that did represent a 2 point improvement from round 1. Points were scored in only 3 of the 5 games. A few murmurs of discontent were heard in the crowd, inspiring <chessmoron> to do his Yao Ming imitation to entertain them.

Meanwhile, <Switch> leads in 2 categories, and <amw> <juan> and <word> lead in 1 each. There are still fourteen 0's on the boards, and only 7 rounds left to get rid of them. Hold on tight as our thrilling adventure continues.

Are you coming? Of course not. You'd get destroyed with facts. Say a few Hail Mary's because you know damned well that if someone was stalking your 14 year old nieces facebook page you'd be horrified and rightly so. Everytime I see <tpstar> there's a white sequin suit hanging out of his backside. Mind your own business!

  OhioChessFan: A response to <JessicaFischerQueen> :

<<Ohio> I guess you mean that a family photo doesn't qualify as "personal information"? >

Nope. Every picture linked to on this site is someone's family member. Nobody would have known who they were until someone identified them as family members.

<I think the intent <tpstar> had in flagshipping those photos in his bio was well out of order >

I probably agree there. On a possibly related note, <AJ> never understood why people responded to him the way they did.

<even if it doesn't technically break rule 5. >

It doesn't. You're letting your heart overrule your mind at the moment. I was right and you were wrong on that point.

<If he did that to me, I'd go ballistic. >

That'd be understandable. Has <UNF> done anything that you'd go ballistic over?

<Actually I don't trust you as far as I could throw you, so I'll just cut out the middle man. I don't want you here, so go post your bile somewhere else.

Here you shall not be.>

Okay. I am quite sure I'm not the only person on this site bewildered why you trust <UNF> but whatever. As for your reference to my "bile", could you identify it? And you don't think <UNF> repeated references to the webmaster as a coward and his never ending profanities count as bile, but he's oh so welcome here. Seriously?

FWIW, to take a last shot at a person and then put them on ignore without a chance at a response is really lame.

Aug-07-16  Keyser Soze: Hilarious. I mean call AMA putting tpstar professional addresses here is <not> stalking or disclosure of personal information. I love some of those selective outrage in this site.
Aug-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Well. I will say it's not an attempt to get into whataboutery, but an attempt to identify the moving party. I agree about the selective outrage and really don't get it.

One side has to be first to stop and I am 100% certain it won't be <UNF> I don't want to censor conversation but I don't want to prolong this one either.

Aug-07-16  User not found: OCF.. Just answer me this question. If someone went and found pictures of your family, one of them a young child and started posting them in his bio how would you feel? And when you answer that question remember you're a Christian!

Keyser soze. You're just insane. Literally. Everybody on this site knows it and nobody likes you. Keep not believing what I've said. Yes. I got your 4000th gay porn email yesterday. Mental problems much?? I 😂😂😂😂😂

Aug-07-16  User not found: <One side has to be first to stop and I am 100% certain it won't be <UNF>>

Well you're right on one thing :)

I'm going to be honest with you OCF. I don't dislike you I just find you boring and depressive so I distance myself from you. I have nothing against you personally and I never have. Now you can dislike me in the same way, we both know we used to be okay with each other, nothing more nothing less. But I'm deeply shocked that you're involving yourself in this. And yes... Tpstar has been suspended. I'm not posting anything private on here again but I'm right and I'll be proved right. Anyways. The police are here in 15 mins.

  OhioChessFan: And another response to <JFQ> :

<Speaking of being shocked at a person't behavior, I was dismayed enough to see you aping <Big Pawn's> use of the phrase <girly girl> to put you on ignore for a couple of weeks. >

"girly girl" earns ignore. And yet the persistent vulgarity and profanity and insults of <Unf> doesn't bother you. Absolutely unbelievable.

  OhioChessFan: And another response to <JFQ>:

<Did it ever occur to you that a woman might be dismayed to read that? Do you care? I really doubt it. >

Did it ever occur to that Daniel's wife might be dismayed to read the vulgar and profane insults hurled at him ad nauseam? Do you care? I really doubt it.

Aug-07-16  User not found: How's about you take your head out of Tony's bowels and admit what he's done is pure evil? Call yourself a Christian!? See above.. I've never disliked you I've just distanced myself from you. You know you're in the wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself
