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.

Nov-22-25 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: 90 seconds of gorgeous harmony. Monkees-Riu Chiu https://youtu.be/riG85oA6Wy4?si=_GY...      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 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"

Plot your strategy, study the player games and head to head results, flip a coin, throw darts, use a Ouija board, or whatever else you wish, and make your game and move selections. May-27-18    OhioChessFan: **Let the Picking Begin** Welcome to the Norway 2018 Moves Prediction Contest. This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in the first round game you think Anand with White will draw Aronian in 40 moves, your entry would say: Anand - Aronian 1/2 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <GoldenExecutive> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. For heaven's sake, don't ask <OhioChessFan> to try to fix it! It can seem intimidating to new players, but no worries. Feel free to ask questions. I will point out the scoring system (in my profile) is heavily weighted toward being under, and not over, the actual number of moves.

May-28-18    WinKing: Our game picks for Rd.1 are posted in my forum. May-28-18    Count Wedgemore: I see that the Mamedyarov-MVL game has already finished. Kudos to <OCF> for predicting a short draw in that game. Given Mamedyarov's tooth problems (I think he was at the dentist before the game), a short draw shouldn't be that surprising. Yet, <OCF> was the only one predicting a draw in less than thirty moves. Well played, sir..well played. May-28-18    OhioChessFan: Oh yeah, I uhhh, knew all about Toothgate.....ummm, I was on top of it. May-28-18    OhioChessFan: Can someone send a message to Caruana to resign now(waiting for his 41st move)? May-28-18    WinKing: I am surprised Fabiano is dragging this game out. The irritation factor for Magnus has to be pegging at about 9.9/10.
