<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: 18. Ne4 opened up the middle to Black's Queen and LSB. 18. Nb1 was fine.

OhioChessFan: <redundant> I never noticed that. I had 5 semesters of college German so I have a basic knowledge of the language. I guess the different languages of "time" in the same sentence render it acceptable. Monty Python just doesn't work for me. I like maybe 10% of their stuff.

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 **

It took a little while, but <chessmoron's> plan to tire out <GE> by making him record scores has worked pretty well. <cm> moved into the lead in 2 Rankers, while <GE> still holds the lead in 2. Everybody participating has scored, and now we're looking to see if we can get the last eight 0's off the scoreboard. <OhioChessFan> is thrilled to death to not be in last place in any of the rankers for the first time in about 5 years.

Will <GE> give up scoring duties to focus on his predictions? Will <cm> keep laughing at how well his sinister plot is succeeding? Will <OCF> find something else to whine about? Will <Winky> keep schmoozing <GE>? Stay tuned for the answers to these and many more interesting questions. Only 7 rounds to go.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 3 Recap **

We're a third of the way through our contest already, and things are getting exciting at the top of the leaderboard. <SwitchingQuylthulg> has charged to the lead in 3 Rankers. <GE> still holds the lead in one ranker, raising concerns about how accurate his scoring system is. <chessmoron> is tied for the lead in one ranker.

We got <amw> off a couple 0's. We still need <Penguincw> <sea otter> and shockingly, <WinKing> to get with the program. <OhioChessFan> would like the contest to end now as he is on the medal stand for the first time in 10 years, but <GE> insists on seeing this all the way through.

Only 6 rounds to go in our thrilling contest.
