| | OhioChessFan: ** Final Recap **
A stunning conclusion to the Gashimov Memorial, as the entire chess world is talking about how <GOLDEN EXECUTIVE> won a Quadruple Crown! And Magnus Carlsen also did well. <GE> won all 4 Rankers outright, which our historians are checking now, but that is possibly the first time in the Moves Prediction Contest that's happened. <GE> was besieged by autograph seekers and well wishers and even a couple chess groupies as he acknowledged the accolades of the fans. In a shocking display of poor sportsmanship, <chessmoron> refused to acknowledge <GE's> achievement and walked out the door in a huff, demanding <Winky> finish the scoring. <bubuli> made a belated effort to improve his chances by a transparent effort at flattery to <OCF>, which is in fact a sure way to succeed, but in this case, not nearly enough to help <bubuli>. So as the confetti rains down, and <Pengo> moans and groans that he's no longer the only Quadruple Crown winner, <GE> is on top of the chess world, equalled only, possibly, maybe, by Carlsen. It's been an honor to be part of such an exciting event. Congratulations to <GE> and to everyone else who didn't win, since they were a small part of history. Thanks for playing! |
|
| Apr-09-19 | | wordfunph: grandslam for <GE> wow congrats! thanks <OCF> <chessmoron> <WinKing> and all contestants.. <OCF> your after round reviews are entertaining, keep it up! gracias amigo.. |

| Apr-09-19 | | WinKing: The three Quadruple Crowns:
**********
In 2011...
<Penguincw>
LCC11:StdMvRnk(1t) + BonusRnk(1) + StdMv/Bonus(1) + 1stRanker(1t)
(Quadruple Crown - ♔♔♔♔) ...the London Chess Classic
<<OhioChessFan: Congratulations to all the winners. Amazing performance by <Penguincw> to pull down all 4 categories.>> This was during the Pre-Recap era.
**********
**********
In 2018...
<SwitchingQuylthulg> Gre18:StdMvRnk(1) + BonusRnk(1) + StdMv/Bonus(1) + 1stRanker(1)
(Quadruple Crown - ♔♔♔♔) ...Grenke
<OhioChessFan: ** Final Recap **The crowd roared as <SwitchingQuylthulg> completed his Quadruple Crown! In a stunning display of Moves Prediction Mastery, he had another huge round to finish off the opposition. ***Nobody came close to matching him in any of the 4 Rankers. ***> **********
**********
In 2019...
<Golden Executive> Gash19:StdMvRnk(1) + BonusRnk(1) + StdMv/Bonus(1) + 1stRanker(1)
(Quadruple Crown - ♔♔♔♔) <OhioChessFan: ** Final Recap **A stunning conclusion to the Gashimov Memorial, as the entire chess world is talking about how <GOLDEN EXECUTIVE> won a Quadruple Crown!> ...Gashimov.
**********
<Penguincw> had the first Quadruple Crown ever but it was not a Perfect
Quadruple as he shared first place in two of the Rankers. Both <SwitchingQuylthulg>'s & <Golden Executive>'s Quadruple Crowns were Perfectos - they both won all of the Rankers outright. ********** |

|
| Apr-09-19 | | WinKing: Thanks to <chessmoron> & <OhioChessFan>
for running & hosting the show. Some excellent Recaps by the way <OCF>. Congratulations to all of the winners! <Golden Executive> I only have one thing to say about your Quadruple Crown performance - Masterful! :) |
|
| Apr-09-19 | | chessmoron: <ALL> Congrats on the winners. GRENKE will be next. <WinKing> Thanks. |
|
Apr-09-19
 | | Penguincw: Thanks for hosting. Hopefully I can actually predict all rounds next time. Congrats to <Golden Executive> for the sole quadruple crown. Well deserved. Bye. |
|
| Apr-10-19 | | Count Wedgemore: Thanks to <OCF>, <chessmoron> and <WinKing> for another fun and interesting contest. I'm happy to have won some medals, but next time I want a goLd medal. "Silver is defeat!", as a famous Norwegian athlete used to say. I take my hat off for <Golden Executive>'s phenomenal performance. All of us, we were outmatched this time by our good Mexican friend. Bien hecho, Alfredo! |
|
| Apr-10-19 | | WinKing: <Count Wedgemore:I'm happy to have won some medals, but next time I want a goLd medal. "Silver is defeat!", as a famous Norwegian athlete used to say.> I can't totally disagree with that but on the 'glass half full' side of things a Silver medal means that you are always in the hunt. ;) |
|
Apr-10-19
| | OhioChessFan: Great to hear on Grenke.
I lean toward "Silver is defeat", but I also confess I was thrilled to hit a #1. |
|
| Apr-10-19 | | Golden Executive: Thanks a lot to the crew: <chessmoron>, <OhioChessFan>, and <WinKing>. Great Job as usual. Thanks/congratulations to the other medalists, especially to my friend <WinKing> who had a huge round 9 to steal two silvers at the very very last moment. You can never forget about the guy who has won 39 golds, the most ever in the MPC. It was just after round 7 that I realized I had some real chances to make a bid for the quadruple crown. Well, I guess Lady Luck was on mi side this time. See you guys in a few days! |
