<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

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.

Aug-07-16  User not found: And there's a big difference between swearing at another man and posting pictures of 14 year old children (12 at the time) and people's families. My sister is scared and upset, I'm surprised certain people aren't here telling you the same. I know when I'm wrong.. Do you seriously think Tony Palmer, ex doctor is in the right? I'm trying to be civil with you so answer the question please, this isn't the pedantic Rogoff page.
Aug-07-16  Keyser Soze: Pathetic overdramatic hopla to attempt wining some sympathy.

Yeah right that one is crying , the other is afraid, the old one might get cancer again..My bet no one saw nothing or care..mimimi.

The cops suppose to came tonight, ops now Wednesday. So urgent for them lol.

Will be fun when the family gather together to read all someone's past psychotic meltdowns. Will be a valley of tears. Pray for the cops not show up or someone will leave with them.

Quit playing the innocent you criminal.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 3 Recap **

The standings are starting to take shape as we are a third of the way through our contest. <Switch> leads 3 Rankers, <amw> leads one and <word> leads one. There are six 0's still on the board, as <Robin> still hasn't scored a point and <OCF> still hasn't hit a #1. <Robin> blames preoccupation with the Olympics and <OCF> has been too consumed with the site drama to concentrate on his picks.

Only 6 rounds left in our short tournament.

Aug-08-16  Big Pawn: <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.>

That fat, old, dyed-red-hair, feminist nazi <JFQ> needs to take a deep breath, relax and buy some more cats.

<Girly girl> earns ignore because the left is EXTREMELY INTOLERANT.

I have no one on ignore, because I am tolerant.

<girly girl> earns ignore because feminists hate masculinity, men and, well, masculine men in general. <Girly girl> indicates that you are not a weak, limp wristed, sensitive, emotional, liberal pansy - and liberals (especially feminists) don't like that at all.

Any sign of manliness brings insane, white hot rage out of liberal feminists. That's why no one wants to get married anymore, now that there are so many unattractive, man-acting, dyed red hair, 7 cat owning, always ragging feminists everywhere.

They always have their magnifying glasses out, carefully looking for any signs of MISOGYNY.

No one likes a big mouth broad, that's for sure. I think for <JFQ> to get a life, she may have to get rid of ALL of her cats, lose 100 pounds, drop the red hair and stop being a pushy liberal douche.

But that's just a hunch.
