<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. Carl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian
13. Brian Flowers

OhioChessFan: Teim For a Pun Change

   Apr-15-26 D Dardha vs K Alekseenko, 2024

OhioChessFan: Decent pun, brilliant final move.

   Apr-14-26 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Fletcher Henderson - Sugar Foot Stomp https://youtu.be/hjEiyhESlh4?si=SMI...

   Apr-14-26 C Sharp vs N Bernstein, 1949

OhioChessFan: Terrific pun.

   Apr-13-26 World Championship Candidates (2026)

OhioChessFan: I always read it as Retire Born also and guessed the same meanings as <Fusilli> Likewise I misunderstood <Albertan> until it was clarified.

   Apr-12-26 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <Integ: The issue is not whether the cross was foreshadowed in prophecy (I agree it was), but whether its significance was already explicit, understood, and preached.> I don't agree that is the issue.

   Apr-11-26 Stockfish vs Fire, 2014

OhioChessFan: I can't begin to understand this game. Nice pun though.

   Apr-10-26 Atterdag chessforum

OhioChessFan: <Fortunately, we have almost the same taste. High on my scale are Wagner, Richard Strauss, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Sibelius, Verdi - well the list could go on. And there is hardly any work that has touched me more than Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.> Belatedly ...

   Apr-10-26 Honza Cervenka chessforum

OhioChessFan: <The moral of this story is that people should learn endings, and especially seemingly trivial Pawn endings.> Even at the Super GM level, the end games skills of many players are sometimes poor.

Mar-07-09		chessmoron: <DCP23> For the Amber Rapid & Blindfold Tournament...there would be 2 different pairings eg. Anand-Morozevich for Blindfold and Morozevich-Anand for Rapid and the program couldn't do that.

Mar-07-09		DCP23: <chessmoron> Mmm, why not, you can just process it as you would a simple double round-robin, like Linares. Like you said, it's still Moro-Anand and Anand-Moro, not Moro-Anand twice. You would not be able to have separate rapid/blindfold contests that way, but at least you'll have a combined contest.

Mar-07-09		NakoSonorense: Thanks for running the contest, <chessmoron>. I didn't win no golds this time... :(

Mar-07-09		chancho: Thanks Wilson.

Mar-08-09		lostemperor: <<Dominguez-Ivanchuk, 1/2-1/2 in 35 moves.> Exact, 10 points: [] Under, 7 points: [['imag', '1/2-1/2', '34'], ['lostemperor', '1/2-1/2', '34']]> <<Aronian-Grischuk, 1/2-1/2 in 41 moves.> Over, 3 points: [] 2nd Over, 2 points: [['lostemperor', '1/2-1/2', '42']]> Close, but no cigar. It's a good thing I don't smoke anymore:) Thanks. But for the record .. who got the three points in Aronian - Grischuk?

Mar-08-09		chessmoron: <lostemperor> You but <chancho> got it first in under 41 moves. So you got 2nd in over 41 moves.

Mar-08-09		lostemperor: <chessmoron> I know <chancho> got 7 points and I see you do this in other games also but I thought from your example in the profile: <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 6: [player]-[player] 0-1 47 > .... <Participant 5: 3 pts rewarded closest OVER(1st-OVER) to 45 moves.> Am I not participant 5 here in Aronian-Grischuk, 1/2-1/2 in 41 moves?

Mar-08-09		lostemperor: <NakoSonorense: Thanks for running the contest, <chessmoron>. I didn't win no golds this time... :(> you did win one gold though:)

Mar-08-09		chessmoron: Oops...made a mistake.

May-11-09		OhioChessFan: <chessmoron> if you wish to do MTEL here, you need to start advertising it very soon.

May-12-09		OhioChessFan: 1. Topalov 2812 2. Carlsen 2770 3. Ivanchuk 2746 3. Shirov 2745 5. Wang Yue 2738 6. Dominguez 2721

May-13-09		lostemperor: No contest here? Well my guesses are: Carlsen - Topalov 1/2 54 Ivanchuk - Shirov 1/2 52 Wang Yue - Dominnguez 1/2 48

May-14-09		lostemperor: At least I knew it would be 3 well fought games, till the end! :)

May-15-09		chessmoron: Sorry guys. I can't do a prediction contest due to my busy schedule of shooting a short film in Suzhou, China.

May-15-09		lostemperor: Okay, good luck <chessmoron>. If you need a good character, successful I have been in a big sequel!

Jun-17-09		Open Defence: thanks for the song.. its every girls dream to be sung to by The King!

Jun-30-09		chessmoron: Let the Predictions for 2009 Dortmund BEGIN!
