Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) - Through <Round 6>

Score,UserID

Attention has finally gotten back on our competition after all the distractions of the previous rounds was set aside. <chessmoron> regained his composure and is comfortably back in charge.

In other news, <Penguincw> started to tell an extremely interesting story about the best way to solve a Rubik's Cube. Unfortunately, <OCF> fell asleep at that moment and missed the exciting and spellbinding 45 minute explanation. Meanwhile, <Winky> offered some unsolicited advice to Meier about clock management. He carefully explained that Meier was playing too fast early in the games, causing him to make bad moves. Meier clearly took that advice to heart in his game against Carlsen, where he played much slower, and ended up making a bunch of bad moves in time trouble. <offramp> interfered in the Meier-Carlsen game when he decided it would be a great idea to interrupt the players by telling them some of the worst knock-knock jokes in history.

As for our contest, <Count Wedgemore> and <WinKing> are tied for the lead in both Moves Ranker and #1 Ranker. <bubuli> is also tied for the lead in #1 Rranker. <Count> also leads in the Moves+Bonus Ranker, while <juan> is hanging on to the lead in Bonus Ranker.
