<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. Game Collection: 1975 World Junior chess championship
2. Ongoing edits Vladimir Ostrogsky
3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke
7. Baden-Baden (1870)
11. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

May-27-19		Fusilli: <You must push d5 to win.> Yes indeed. I left another three basic pawn problems in chancho's forum, and an insane one in perfidious' forum and also in the author's page: Nikolay Dmitrievich Grigoriev. All of them come from Yusupov's book... I am working my way through it.

May-27-19		Fusilli: Here's a nice trick that sometimes happens in rook endings: Timman vs Yermolinsky, 1999 click for larger view Black just played 36...Kd6. White to move. Sure, he must push the h-pawn. <Passed pawns must be pushed> does apply. But then what? See game for solution, with some comments from Timman that I copied there.

May-27-19		OhioChessFan: My first hunch turned out to be the correct play. Wish I could look at a tactical middlegame position and know what to do...

May-28-19		Fusilli: <OCF> Are you active in competitive chess?

May-30-19		OhioChessFan: <Fusilli>, no competitive chess. I only started playing OTB with any regularity this year after not playing since high school.

Jun-01-19		thegoodanarchist: Have you played in any tournaments recently?

Jun-02-19		Fusilli: <OCF> Ah ok. I was asking because the US Senior Open is June 28-30 near Chicago. I was wondering if you were contemplating playing in it. Now that I crossed the 50-year old eligibility threshold, I am planning to play it.
