Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) - Through <Round 3>

Score,UserID

Magnus Carlsen and <OhioChessFan> are the talk of the Chess world, as those 2 lead their respective contests. <OCF> continues to make crazy guesses that come through, to the point he's now atop all 4 Rankers. As he climbed the podium for Bonus Ranker, <OCF> looked at <Count Wedgemore> and yelled, "How do you like me now, Big Boy? Oh, am I screaming? GOOD!" <Winky> continues to get like triple lucky or something and is tied for the lead in Moves Ranker and #1 Ranker. <Penguincw> also shares the lead in #1 Ranker. Though we're only 1/3 of the way through the tournament, <Penguin> is nervous someone else might join the exclusive Quadruple Crown Club.

In other news, <juan31> was banned from the playing hall when he tried to slip an extra Pawn on the board for Carlsen to use against Caruana. <wordfunph> and <WinKing> appear to have a budding bromance going on at the ChessBookie Emporium. Whispered murmurs about exotic and erotic gambling left the other contestants a bit embarrassed. <Penguincw> commented, "Exotic, erotic, they're both neurotic. Hey, that kind of rhymes. You know, that reminds me of the time when...." Unfortunately, everyone in the immediate area fell asleep at that point, so the rest of <Penguin's> entertaining anecdote was lost to history. <offramp> is going to take tomorrow off to recover from a huge bender, where he tried to drink a dozen of every type of American beer brand suggested to him. <Count Wedgemore> has figured out how to control Caruana's mind, and plans to use that to his advantage the rest of this contest. In a strange development, <WinKing> has appealed to the chessgames.com forum, worried that a bad case of PMS will make people send nasty emails to each other. <lostemperor> has been buying out entire theaters in a vain effort to get the new Solo movie ticket sales to a respectable level.
