| | OhioChessFan: ** Final Recap **
<alfamikewhiskey> powered his way to a Triple Crown, just edging out <lostemperor> in two of them. After the greatest scoring controversy since the USA-USSR basketball game in the 72 Olympics, and about 2 hours of video review, it was determined that <WinKing> did in fact win a gold medal in Bonus Ranker, along with Co-medalist <Penguincw>. <OCF> and <chessmoron> didn't win anything. Thanks to <chessmoron> for running things and <WinKing> for keeping him honest and to all the starters. Thanks to everyone for playing. Hope we're up and running for the Candidates. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for managing, and congratulations to all the winners and medalists, especially <alfamikewhiskey>! |
|
| Jan-28-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <chessmoron: ♙<WINNER'S CORNER>♙ ♗ <Count Wedgemore> Tata18:BonusRnk(3)> Thank you so much, but unfortunately this is not correct. To my great dismay I ended fourth, so no medals for me.. I appreciate the nice gesture, though :)
Anyways, thank you <chessmoron>, for organizing this contest. And thanks to <WinKing> for keeping track of the scoring. And a big thank you to <OhioChessFan>, your recaps are hilarious! So to all my new friends here, thank you so much and see ya next time! |

 | | Penguincw: Grr, what happened to my unshared gold and bronze medal... Anyway, thanks for hosting <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan>. Thanks to <WinKing> for keeping check of scores. Excellent work by <alfamikewhiskey> to get the triple crown, and hope to see you in March. |
|
| Jan-28-18 | | WinKing: Congratulations to all of the medal winners! Great job by <alfamikewhiskey>
on hitting a 'Triple Crown' in grand style - kudos. You are moving right up the 'Gold Leaderboard'. Keep it up & you'll be blowing by <chessmoron> in that category in no time. ;) |

 | | offramp: Many thanks to <chessmoron>, for keeping score in this mind-boggling competition. This was a great tournament, very hard to predict. It was reassuring to see <WinKing> as chief scrutineer. Thanks to him. Thanks also to <OhioChessFan>, for your very funny resumés. |
|
| Jan-29-18 | | wordfunph: congrats to all winners!
<chessmoron> <OhioChessFan>, thank you! |
|
Jan-29-18
| | OhioChessFan: <Count Wedgemore> as a nod toward how hard this contest is, ties for the medal places don't count as multiple placers. That is, even though 2 people had a tie score for the gold in Bonus Ranker, they don't count as 2 separate entries. So by the rules of this contest, yes, you did win a bronze. |
|
Jan-29-18
 | | lostemperor: Thanks <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for another fun competition! |
|
| Jan-29-18 | | alfamikewhiskey: Thank you, all. That was fun.
Candidates is next up - thanks in advance for the efforts. |
|
| Jan-29-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <OhioChessFan: So by the rules of this contest, yes, you did win a bronze.> Thanks for that information. My mistake, I just wrongly assumed that ties counted as multiple placers. Well, in that case I am very content with having won my first medal. Hopefully there will be many more to come! |
|
| Jan-29-18 | | Golden Executive: Many thanks <chessmoron> and <OCF> for another amazing contest. Congratulations to all the medal winners and particularly to <alfamikewhiskey> on his triple crown, way to go!! This time I certainly did much better after such a disaster in the London contest. See you guys next time for the Candidates Tournament. Great!! |

| | OhioChessFan: hashtag wikipedia:
<The front page also features a puzzle of the day, player of the day, and game of the day, the puzzle varying in difficulty throughout the week from "very easy" on Mondays to "insane" on Sundays.> Would read better if "puzzle of the day" was last in the series so that the last clause was more closely identified with its subject. |
|
Feb-02-18
| | OhioChessFan: <The concept was immediately popular as users can kibitz (post comments) on multiple games and pages throughout the site.> The change from past tense to present tense is jarring and unnecessary. |
|
Feb-02-18
| | OhioChessFan: Wesley So should be listed in the prominent member section. Mikhail Golubev should be included in GM's who have posted. |
|
Feb-02-18
| | OhioChessFan: <Guess-the-Move is a chess training tool where members play through a database game and try to predict the following move> "the following move" is a bit sloppy and not 100% clear. |
|

| | OhioChessFan: Should note 16 be cited as an ibid. of note 9? |
