Official site: http:// Live games: http://www.nrk.no/sport/sjakk/ Alternative live games: http://worldchess.com/broadcasts/eu... ***Hall of Fame*** chessmoron chessforum <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.

Nov-23-25 Kibitzer's Café   OhioChessFan: A flock of larks is an exaltation.      Nov-22-25 Miles vs Andersson, 1980   OhioChessFan: Offbeat opening, I didn't have a clue what was going on. Miles crushed the h file.      Nov-22-25 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Four best harmony songs I know: Blackbyrds-Walking in Rhythm https://youtu.be/Vxg-a8a2UuY?si=cph... Beach Boys-Sloop John B https://youtu.be/nSAoEf1Ib58?si=nS6... Eagles-Seven Bridges Road https://youtu.be/73x16ne6auo?si=NVC... Earth Wind and Fire-September ...      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?

Oct-16-18    saffuna: I can't ask what a cryptic post means before responding? Oct-16-18    diceman: <saffuna: I can't ask what a cryptic post means before responding?> This: <I will not use the blow-the-whistle function.> Isn't a question. Oct-16-18    diceman: <saffuna: I can't ask what a cryptic post means before responding?> Why would you believe you can't ask a question you've already asked twice? <Sorry, <ocf>. What does that mean?> <So, what does "as it turned out" refer to?> Oct-16-18    Keyser Soze: <saffuna: <ocf><It is beyond despicable that someone is trying to take advantage of the webmaster's death for his own selfish ends.> Who do you believe is doing that? I believe the two people who used the webmaster's death to accuse another poster of causing that death were taking advantage.> Of what? I think he meant people taking advantage to <gain power on the new administration.>. Big pawn didn't acused anyone directly of killing anyone. Just made a case that <IF> stress was a issue , than some people could be blamed, which I agree. Stress caused by that individual is well known. I proved already and his legal threats is on record . Period. Question for you: who was the two people who was so interested to buy the site <while mourning (cough cough!) For him ? Where the same to tried buying Daniel's mother (wtfk ?) a premium membership? No hidden interest behind? I don't buy that . Oct-16-18    saffuna: Totally wrong. Oct-16-18    OhioChessFan: Amazing how someone generates so much controversy with their markedly uncontroversial posts. Oct-16-18    Keyser Soze: Ok then.. Oct-18-18    diceman: <Tiggler: Thanks for your vote for me on Memorable Quotes.> Nice avatar. Didn't know your interest was cloud computing! Oct-18-18    thegoodanarchist: <diceman: <Tiggler: Thanks for your vote for me on Memorable Quotes.> Nice avatar. Didn't know your interest was cloud computing!> Apparently it's mushrooming into a hobby for him. Oct-18-18    OhioChessFan: Brown nose, brown shirt........ Oct-19-18    sceptic: <Unperson Tiggler>'s Memorable Quote went into the memory hole. Oct-19-18    OhioChessFan: UT, yeah, but it's The Alchemist's forum, after all. He can delete anything he wants. Oct-19-18    OhioChessFan: Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Oct-22-18    thegoodanarchist: The reverse of "Duh" is HUD, Housing and Urban Development Oct-22-18    Count Wedgemore: HUD is also the name of a Norwegian film, arguably the most boring film ever made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hud_(... Among the "highlights": 25 mins of a woman staring at a boat. Oct-22-18    diceman: <thegoodanarchist: The reverse of "Duh" is HUD> The reverse of BLM (Black Lives Matter) is MLB(Major League Baseball) Oct-22-18    diceman: <Count Wedgemore: HUD is also the name of a Norwegian film> Also a 1963 Paul Newman film. Oct-22-18    offramp: <Count Wedgemore: HUD is also the name of a Norwegian film, arguably the most boring film ever made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hud_(... Among the "highlights": 25 mins of a woman staring at a boat.> I looked at that link and it says that the entire film is only 115 minutes, so if you take away the 25 minutes of the woman staring at a boat there is only 50 minutes left for the rest of the story. (Also, 50 minutes would be the exact amount of time necessary for two MORE women staring at boats episodes of 25 minutes each.) So the film must ZIP along in that remaining 50 minutes. Oct-22-18    thegoodanarchist: < Count Wedgemore: HUD is also the name of a Norwegian film, arguably the most boring film ever made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hud_(... Among the "highlights": 25 mins of a woman staring at a boat.> Well, let me tell you, there's a movie that "coulda been a contenda!" To state it in English: It could have been a contender for most boring film ever made. It's called <The Brown Bunny>. If the last few minutes were deleted, it would have been for sure MORE BORING than 25 minutes of a woman staring at a boat. We have what seemed like 20 minutes of driving. Yep, just driving. Along an interstate. Where everything is the same except the letters on the signs. Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you are trying to achieve notoriety for MOST BORING FILM EVER), things got a bit more exciting towards the end of <The Brown Bunny>. In fact, the "film" firmed up quite nicely. Oct-22-18    saffuna: The original cut of "Heaven's Gate" was over five hours. I watched most of the 2.5 hour version and it was mind-numbing. I can only imagine what the five-hour version was like. Oct-22-18    Count Wedgemore: <saffuna> Ah yes, the film that made a whole movie company go bankrupt, wasn't it? Michael Cimino. First 'Deer Hunter', a true masterpiece, then 'Heaven's Gate'. I can't remember if he ever made any more movies after that fiasco. Oct-23-18    Diademas: Another contender: <Self-Portrait is a 1969 film made by the artist Yoko Ono. The film consists of a single 42 minute shot of the semi erect penis of her husband, John Lennon.> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-... Oct-23-18    Keyser Soze: <yoko ono> OMG. I don't wanna see that. And I thought the recent "Shape of Water" was boring enough.. Oct-23-18    diceman: <artist Yoko Ono> Yoko Ohhhhhhh, noooooo!
