<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-21-25 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: Best singer in a band is Freddie Mercury. Best woman singer in a band is Grace Slick. Best singer ever is Sam Cooke. Best female ever is Aretha Franklin. Quick takes on some others mentioned: Dylan is painfully bad. Sinatra is off key 75% of the time. Jim Croce had the best ...

   Nov-21-25 S J Stevens vs Gracie, 1878

OhioChessFan: White to make his 18th move would be a decent Tuesday puzzle.

   Nov-21-25 A Niyibizi vs Cheda, 2014

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun. Patience paid off.

   Nov-19-25 W Hug vs Korchnoi, 1978

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

   Nov-18-25 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Wow, that is awesome. Here's Alvin Lee in his early days: 10 Years After-Love Like a Man https://youtu.be/K2nsJIjF5E4?si=Iwx...

   Nov-18-25 S P Sethuraman vs C Anto, 2025

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.

   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-13-25 D Moody vs D Helf, 1976

OhioChessFan: "Dewey, I'm Cut in Helf Pretty Bad"

Aug-01-17		chessmoron: <ATT:> Biel FINAL round will start 3 hours EARLIER. Post your predictions.

Aug-01-17		OhioChessFan: Round 8 Recap It's a wild contest with lots of medals up for grabs. <wordfunph> stormed to the lead in 2 Rankers. <amw> and <GE> lead one each. The closeness is amazing. 3 people are within 2 points in the Moves Ranker. 6 people are within 13 points in Moves+Bonus Ranker. There are a lot of people with a shot at multiple golds with a big final round. The Biel tournament directors knew the crowd has been watching this contest closely, so they moved the last round up 3 hours to satisfy the impatient spectators. <OhioChessFan> is trying not to be annoyed with the people who ignored his repeated pleas to put "Biel" at the top of their post. He tried The Scowl Technique so successfully employed by <chessmoron>, but the contestants just laughed at the way his lip curled when he did it. <chessmoron> is making like Paul Revere and running through the playing hall screaming "The last round is coming, the last round is coming!" Everyone is on edge, tingly with excitement, and will have dreams tonight of gold medals tomorrow. Last round, soon to be here. And the crowd is on its feet.....
