<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-16-25 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: While I disagree with <al wazir> on much, I acknowledge he's by far the best of the bunch in argumentation.

   Nov-16-25 S P Sethuraman vs C Anto, 2025

OhioChessFan: Decent pun, first two words strike me as superfluous.

   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.

   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.

Aug-15-16		Penguincw: Nice job by <chessmoron> for running the contest, <OhioChessFan> for making it possible, and <WinKing> for checking the scores. Congrats to <SwitchingQuylthulg> for yet another triple crown (his 4th). His 22 golds ties him with <WinKing> in this contest, behind only <cm> and Michael Phelps (both have 23). <Switch> also ties <WK> for most gold in the "Total Ranker" with 6. This is all despite missing a round. Congrats to all the other podium medalists. I would also like to welcome <alfamikewhiskey> and <lostemperor>, who join me (and the inactive <DCP23>) as the only users in the top 25 HOF (in this contest) to have more bronze than gold+silver combined. ;) <le>'s 2 bronze also surpasses <OCF> for the "King of Bronze" title, at least in this contest. --- Hope to see you next time!

Aug-15-16		wordfunph: congrats to all and thanks to <chessmoron> and <OCF>!

Aug-15-16		Golden Executive: Thanks <chessmoron> for running the contest and <OhioChessFan> for hosting and commenting! Congratulations to all the medal winners, particularly to <SwitchingQuylthug> on his triple crown! See you all next time.

Aug-16-16		Robed.Bishop: <UNF: Now please keep your nose out of my business in future, if there's anything you don't believe I've said a) good or b) Ask Mr Freeman.> Now this is rich. Bring your personal problems to the attention of every user here, endlessly, then, after a captive user dares makes a comment that you don't like, tell him to mind his own business. "Mind your own business" or what? You'll beat him up? Beat me up too for this post? I know, tell Daniel that I'm being mean to you. I dare you. I double dare you.

Aug-30-16		Travis Bickle: Yo Mr Presley, now here's genuine Boogie Woogie. Johnny Rivers - Rockin' Pneumonia & Boogie Woogie Flu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bX...

Sep-03-16		Chessical: <OhioChessFan> - I have now incorporated your corrections into Game Collection: Jaffe - Janowski (2) Thank you.

Sep-04-16		OhioChessFan: Thanks for your hard work <Chessical>

Sep-09-16		WannaBe: This one is for you, my friend: https://wannabecg.shutterfly.com/pi... You can follow/see the original link on my forum. =))

Sep-18-16		chessmoron: The <Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship (2016)> will be the next prediction contest.

Sep-27-16		WinKing: Here are the pairings <chessmoron> & <OCF> for the London Chess Classic 2016 coming up in December. It is nice when you don't have to wait till the day of the tournament to get the pairings. http://www.chessdom.com/london-ches...

Oct-01-16		Golden Executive: <chessmoron: The <Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship (2016)> will be the next prediction contest.> Great!

Oct-11-16		chessgames.com: Hello Ohio: I'm just checking in to make sure that CG is working fine for you (without resorting to IP tricks). I am watching the old webserver now and see that virtually nobody is requesting pages from it, which tells me that the propagation of the new IP address must be almost entirely complete. I'd hate to think that you're in the tiny sliver of a percent of people who are still locked out.

Oct-12-16		chancho: GQ - Disco Nights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4q...

Oct-20-16		thegoodanarchist: A reply for you in the WC match forum: Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship (2016) (kibitz #744)

Oct-20-16		thegoodanarchist: <<OhioChessFan> was last in 3 of the 4 Rankers and won no medals, but he did win the highly coveted sportsmanship award, voted on by <OhioChessFan>> LOL. Congratulations!

Oct-22-16		chancho: Patrice Rushen - Number One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knr...

Oct-22-16		thegoodanarchist: <OCF> The "Moves Prediction Contests" never really intrigued me until now (I am a fan of WC matches <and> also of Magnus Carlsen, and the next contest contains both). I would like to participate, but I have a question - do you divide down to the half move? For example, if I think that Black will resign after White's 27th move, without playing his own 27th move, do I predict 26.5 moves or 27 moves? I assume it is 27, but want to confirm. Also, similar question for draws - if White offers the draw and Black accepts, Black doesn't play his half move. Last thing - has it been determined who will play White in game 1?

Oct-24-16		OhioChessFan: Note for self: Marvin Dekker

Oct-24-16		OhioChessFan: <tga> whoever makes the last move, White or Black, that move number is the game result, so you will always enter whole numbers, not half moves. I am not aware if the drawing for lots has been done yet per who has White/Black.

Oct-26-16		OhioChessFan: Bored with the World Series already? We will be hosting the Games Prediction Contest for the World Chess Championship, very soon! Get your game face on as the elite of the elite in the prognostication field, along with non-elite, but great sportsman, <OhioChessFan>, compete in a no holds barred fight to the death for cyber fame and fortune.

Oct-26-16		OhioChessFan: Here's my opening entry into finding a username that has gone the longest since their last kibitz while still showing up as visiting the site: Member info: bishop Member since Jan-05-02 · Last seen Jul-29-15 Last kibitz: Oct-14-03 Chigorin vs H Caro, 1898 Almost 12 years. Very impressive.

Oct-27-16		jessicafischerqueen: Impressive indeed! And mysterious. But did you double check the maths? <2002 to 1898> Does this not mean that he joined in 2002, and then time traveled 1004 years into the past to make the kibbutz?

Oct-28-16		OhioChessFan: Well, well, well. Our highly edumacated scientists are bewildered once more by a discovery that just doesn't make sense-if you're an evolutionist: <“The preservation of brain tissue in this way is so unbelievably unlikely that it just shouldn’t have happened—yet here it is,” says Martin Smith, a paleontologist at the University of Durham in the UK unaffiliated with the paper.> Don't worry, evolutionists, just file that under "Hard to Understand" or "A Real Mystery" or "More Research Is Needed". But, you're running scared. You know it. I know it. The evidence keeps piling up against you. Time is on my side, yes it is. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...
