<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

Premium Chessgames Member		  Penguincw: Round five has started.
Dec-06-17
Premium Chessgames Member		  OhioChessFan: A quick in-round look: Caruana won again, in 39 moves. Adams-Naka drew in 32, Aronia-MVL dreew in 25, <OCF> is pleased to see Nepo-Carjack drew in 30. Carlsen is a little better against So in an endgame, one of those games that should be drawn but that Maggie has a way of winning in the end.

Premium Chessgames Member		  OhioChessFan: ** Round 5 Recap **

<OhioChessFan> was stunned to discover he is in the lead in 2 Rankers. Lately, he's been mathematically eliminated by the halfway point of the contests. <wordfunph> still holds the lead in #1 Ranker, and <lostemperor> and <WinKing> share the lead in Bonus Ranker.

To avoid embarrassment for the contestants, <OCF> won't rehash that before the 5th round 4 contestants, <alfamikewhiskey> <Golden Executive> <juan31> and <Penguincw>, hadn't yet hit a #1. He'll only mention the positive fact that <GE> hit a #1 this round.

We're over halfway done, and soon will be nearing the finish line. <OCF> needs some time to catch his breath, <lostemperor> needs some time to regroup, and without naming <alfamikewhiskey> <juan31> and <Penguincw>, some of our contestants need to regroup and plan a new way to hit a #1 and get the 0's off our scoreboard. We'll take a break Thursday and come back strong on Friday. 4 rounds to go.
