<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.

  OhioChessFan: The Teleological Argument for the Existence of God [Part 1]

http://apologeticspress.org/APConte...

Feb-20-18  Nisjesram: Valued and respected rogoff kibitzer :
1)yesterday , I refuted omv argument - once again.

2)earlier , <big pawn> used to say that god of omv argument is same as god of classical theism - Abrahamic god. And yesterday, <big pawn> , in effect , admitted that that was not so that god of omv argument may die one day and god of omv argument is not running affairs of world and world is running spontaneously on its own without any intervention/oversight.

3)I urge you people to ask <big pawn> to provide a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer to following three questions :

Question no 1 : may god of omv argument die one day ? Just a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer please.

Question no 2 : is god of omv argument running the affairs of world ? A simple 'yes' or 'no' answer please?

Question no 3: does omv argument imply that it is not possible that world is running spontaneously on its own without intervention/supervision/oversight ? A simple 'yes' or 'no' answer please.

Thank you

Namaste

Feb-22-18  Nisjesram: Valued and respected rogoff kibitzers - does everyone understand now that I refuted omv argument once again day before yesterday and <big pawn> has accepted refutation?

Anyone having any questions?

I am going to post it in forum of <ohiochessfan> because he always runs away from me , always hides from me , can never answer my questions and after a while acts as if omv argument was never refuted.

Thank you

Namaste

Feb-22-18  Nisjesram: <big pawn> has given good explanation about basics of teachings of Jesus . I would like to say some about advanced teachings of Jesus.

2)well, I have presented a theory - that 'locus of omv , was created at the same time that universe was created and is not timeless i.e. it will dissolve/die if/when universe dissolves/dies - it has beginning and end , it is not timeless. More so , it has no say in running affairs of universe. Universe runs spontaneously on its own without any intervention/supervision/oversight.

And obviously it is not creator of universe either - it was created at the time universe was created.

Definition of classical theism as provided by <big pawn> has god as timeless and creator of universe. So, omv stands refuted.

3)this is a well known theory. In fact , many scholars including David godman believe that that is the correct interpretation of teachings of Jesus. Like this : 1)timeless source of universe is not 'personal god' but impersonal Absolute. 2)Absolute is locus of 'Brahman' which runs affairs of universe spontaneously. 3)when universe dissolves , Brahman dissolves and when universe is created Brahman is created 4)Absolute is eternal/timeless. 5)Absolute is continuously supplying some 'spiritual energy/light' (which is neither matter nor energy - something spiritual) and if that 'spiritual light' is not supplied , universe will collapse.

4) all those details are not needed for omv debate purpose.

Only thing that matters is a locus for omv which is not timeless and so on.

Here, people don't even understand even the basics of teachings of Jesus that <big pawn> explaining in his forum, so obviously I don't expect them to understand the advanced details.

Even <big pawn> had no clue what Absolute was let alone knowing the difference between 'personal god' and Absolute in detail/depth.

I had introduced <big pawn> for the first time to the 'concept' of Absolute and he was completely clueless. Later on I had provided some links on philosophy to study Absolute.

I had provided links on teachings of Jesus too in the rogoff forum, however, obviously , neither <big pawn> nor his mates are ready for that yet.

They all at very junior level.

Nonetheless, one should not have difficulty understanding that imv argument is nonsense and stands refuted without knowing teaching of Jesus in advance.

Let me know if anyone has any questions or needs any help

Feb-23-18  Nisjesram: <thegoodanarchist>, <johnlspouge> and <big pawn> - I have not been able to read your conversations on omv (too busy).

However, why you still talking about it when I have already refuted it?

If you google 'personal god vs Absolute' , you would find a lot of material.

Here is the link that I had given to <big pawn> earlier

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abs...

Feb-23-18  Nisjesram: <big pawn> <Yes, but if you want to give us another explanation of how moral values can exist objectively sans God, then go right ahead and do that.

So far what we've seen is that if moral values are not grounded in God, then they are only abstract objects.

Give us your account of their ontology now.>

Hey, <big pawn> read the article on Absolute - I had given you this link earlier too.

This is the ontology:

1)uncaused cause is not personal god as you assume but Absolute.

2)Absolute created locus of omv when universe was created.

3)universe runs spontaneously on its own without supervision/oversight/intervention.

So, we see that locus of omv is not timeless, spaceless, omnipotent. It is not creator of universe either.

This theory is given by philosophers.

This is the theory taught by people who followed teachings of Jesus and had direct experience of uncaused cause and they saw uncaused cause is Absolute.

I had given you link on teachings of Jesus earlier -articles by David godman

Omv argument thoroughly refuted

Feb-23-18  Nisjesram: <thegoodanarchist> and <johnlspouge> - if you google 'teachings of jesus bible David godman', you should find a lot of material. David godman is among the finest teachers in world on teachings of jesus and Absolute.

Let me know if you guys have any questions.

It is unfortunate that <big pawn> does not understand teachings of jesus and Absolute

Omv argument thoroughly refuted

Feb-23-18  Nisjesram: <johnlspouge> , <thegoodanarchist> please understand (<big pawn> , you may also try to understand . in a few decades time , you may succeed) 1) so, once we know that Absolute created locus of omv when universe was created, after that point , you don't have to take anything from teachings of jesus - after that theory of evolution will work fine.

2)after all , what was <big pawn> 's objection when people first talked about evolution and genes ? That omv can not exist just like that , they need some proper locus.

3)once you have this locus , theory of atheists fits in perfectly.

4)I know teachings of jesus very, very well both at level of understanding as well as at the level of experience. So, I know that theories of atheist scientists are perfect. Only thing is that some spiritual energy is supplied from Absolute to every person, everything in universe. But how would one know that ? There is no way of knowing that except through direct experience. If we assume that that spiritual energy is not necessary , then theory of atheist scientist is not only perfect but true also. That is how universe works even according to people who know teachings of jesus. And there is no way of knowing that spiritual energy is necessary except through direct 'spiritual ' experience.

5)hence , omv argument thoroughly refuted.

Theory of atheist scientists is perfect.
That is how universe runs.

Feb-23-18  Nisjesram: <TEST/EVIDENCE FOR LOCUS OF OMV AND ABSOLUTE>

<johnlspouge> and <thegoodanarchist> , please understand (<big pawn> , you may also try to understand - in a few decades , you may succeed)

1)locus of omv can not be tested/,observed by any 'non living ' instrument. Consciousness is the only instrument through which you can test/observe locus of omv.

2)if we live teachings of jesus , body and consciousness change and at some point , we are able to test/observe locus of omv.

3)people who have lived teachings of jesus have observed/tested locus of omv and they told that Absolute created locus of omv when universe was created.

I have given links for theory of Absolute.

4)once you know locus of omv exists and that locus is not personal god, after that theory of atheist scientists is not only correct (free from contradictions) but true also. That is how universe runs.

Omv argument thoroughly refuted.

Thank you

Feb-24-18  Nisjesram: <awn: <jessicafischerqueen: <Nitwit Jam Head> Will you please cease your inane, rambling, profoundly uneducated spamming. It is irritating beyond comprehension. You are and have always been the most addle minded nitwit ever to post at this website. Permanent ignore. Hopefully enough will follow suit so you get auto blocked.>

I knew someone was going to say this sooner or later, and it is spot on. <Tga> is not going to be happy that <Nizzle> left his dirty toilet paper all over his forum.>

I am leaving chessgames.com forever from today (as regular poster. I may post under special circumstances which I detail below) , because instead of thanks , I get insults.

I showed <big pawn> how stupid omv argument was , I also showed him that he did not know teachings of jesus or philosophy, he did not know difference between 'personal god' and Absolute (he did not even know what Absolute is till I mentioned this 'concept' to him)

And instead of thanks , I get such insults.

Today is my last day on chessgames.com. as regular poster.Now, I may post here only if someone insults me or thanks me or needs my help in physics/maths/economics etc. Or if I need to inform people that johnlspouge has endorsed my refutation of stupid omv argument.

Thank you
Namaste

Feb-24-18  Nisjesram: <amp: One of the problems with forums is that owners have a perpetual power of deletion. Sometimes posts are deleted which leave a string of incomprehensible posts>

True, <offramp>.

See , what is happening is that <thegoodanarchist> is playing a farce which I explain by his recent action - he commented on one of my posts in rogoff forum and said that I made an empty/bald assertion with circular logic etc. Now, that is usual stupidity of <thegoodanarchist> - the post he commented on was one of a series of posts and evidence/proof/test of the assertion mentioned by me was in other posts of mine. He does this all the time and then posts insulting remarks about me in his forum and implicitly invites <big pawn> (who is most obnoxious/notrious troll of this site) to insult me in his forum as well.

So, this time I posted all of my posts of the thread that he commented on in his forum so that he does not miss any - you see , in rogoof forum , so many people posting and therefore all posts of one thread get scattered and perhaps that is why <the good anarchist> missed other posts of mine and made a fool of himself. That is why I posted all those posts in his forum so that he does not miss any and does not make a fool of himself again.

I have always tried to help <thegoodanarchist> in physics/maths, teachings of jesus , spirituality and philosophy - all those areas where <thegoodanarchist> is very weak and almost always makes fool of himself.

And instead of thanks I get insults. That is why I decided to leave chessgames.com forever where ungrateful idiots like <thegoodanarchist> and <big pawn> keep on posting nonsense all the time.

From now on , I will post only under special circumstances.

Thank you
Namaste

I got your back <chessmoron>. I'll do Rnds. 1 thru 3. Will there be a different scoring system for the candidates or same as usual?

Feb-28-18  chessmoron: Same scoring system. But I'm been thinking about revamping the scoring system for a while. I would like some feedback and someone who has programming experience in Python for help.
