| | Diademas: Not a big deal <OCF> This is for fun. It is a human trait to get a head start. It was not made as an accusation toward certain users, more of an afterthought. I have no chance of winning anything here, and that doesn't bother me a bit. But somehow I kind of like a level playing field. |

Carlsen - Anand 1-0 38 ge >>The only way to sort out that problem is when they change the rules, like in the WCC where ALL THE PREDICTIONS (games and moves) was handed in before the start of round 1. In such a case there will be no advantages for players at all. Will see how the others feel about rule change, but don't think they will. |

| | OhioChessFan: ** Round 10 Recap **
Our mad rush to the finish line of fame and fortune continues apace. <Penguincw> still leads 3 Rankers and <lostemperor> leads the other. A few contestants have moved to within shouting distance in the various Rankers. <DerDiemer> is close in Moves Ranker, <Diademas> is close in Bonus, and <DerD> and <juan31> are close in #1 Ranker. In other news, <OhioChessFan> missed that round. Of course, there was rampant speculation why, ranging from him whining too much about Kramnik to notice the time, to paying a visit to the "Chess Club" and not wanting to leave, to whining about not getting any votes for Pun of the Year and sitting out a round in protest. In a wasted display of sportsmanship, <Winky> yelled across the playing hall in hopes of <OCF> being present and getting his picks in at the last minute. In a spectacular display of strategy, <Diademas> cleverly downplayed his chances of winning anything in this contest, all the while sneaking behind <Penguin's> back and into the second place spot in Bonus Ranker. Meanwhile, <bubuli> continues his mad rush to get the highest negative score in ChessBookie history. We're barreling on down the road to the finish line. Can <Pengo> hold on to the 3 Ranker leads that seemed so safe just a few days ago? Can he even dream of winning a Quadruple Crown? Will <DerDiemer> or <lostemperor> or <Diademas> or <juan31> dash the Quadruple Crown dreams? Who will be the next contestant to miss a round because they are at the "Chess Club"? What will <OCF> whine about next? Stay tuned for the answers to these and many other pertinent questions. 3 Rounds to go in our exciting contest. |

I'll address that in general by repeating my take on this from last year: <Whereas the prediction contests.......I'll unload with every problem I have with them. Mostly in order of most annoying to least annoying:1. Picking all decisive games, particularly Black wins, after you're eliminated in Standard and 1-2-3. I think it's unsporting, even if only for the last round. I think one reason I have so many bronze medals is that I don't do that and sort of pass people at the end who are using that strategy. 2. Picking all draws.
3. Using the open picks system to wait until the end of the prediction time to take that information of other people and let it influence your picks. 4. Picking different game results in the Moves Prediction and Games Prediction Contests. I think the only one you can really enact a rule on is #2, and I guess the new rule does that pretty well. I would like a gentleman's agreement to not engage in #1. I am not sure people engage in #3, but there are times I think they do. It's hard to tell, but if this was my show, I'd make a statement to the effect that I don't approve of it. #4, not too big a deal, but I don't much care for it. I know some of the contestants in Moves Prediction will be surprised that I don't like people using different results for the two contests. They'll appeal to the differing strategies, and I hear that. But again, these are two contests to predict the results of chess games, not to figure out a complex gambling system/strategy to assign to chess games along with every other gambling scenario you can find. At least, that's how I see it.> OhioChessFan chessforum (kibitz #17472) As for what you're asking specifically, no, I don't think that was anything but coincidence. I'll point out <amw> posted before you. It's when you see successive posts with that kind of numbers that you get suspicious. Has that happened in this contest? Welllllllll, I guess I can't say it's proven, but I'm sure it has. And I totally agree that is against the spirit of the competition. One person who has done that repeatedly here once had the gall to challenge me in the Games Prediction Contest for having done that. I spent a long time just shaking my head over it. I know exactly what you mean by not taking it seriously, but then bringing this up. I hesitated for a long time before making the post quoted above. It was odd to say "I don't care" and then say "I think this is wrong enough to say, even though I don't care." Anyway, I haven't seen one indication of that in the current contest, although I guess you've been suspicious before if you're bringing it up now, and I'd agree it has happened a great deal before. Okay, I'll try to quit taking this so seriously. |

| | OhioChessFan: I had gone to play trivia last night, got home, realized I hadn't made my picks, got online, typed up my kibitz, and didn't send it. I normally copy those picks and paste them in <GE's> forum and backspace over the moves, so missing this one led inevitably to missing that one. In this contest, I would have only scored 2 points, on the Fedoseev-Giri game, where I had Fedoseev-Giri 0-1 45, so no big loss. Cost me big in the Games Prediction Contest, where I had the 3 draws and the Black win, for 4 points in Standard and 6 in 1-2-3. That'd put me second in 1-2-3. Alas. |
