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.

Jan-17-26 Chessgames - Politics    OhioChessFan: <FSR: <OCF> and fellow MAGAts will tell you Ashli and company were just peaceful, law-abiding folks who wanted to chat with their elected representatives.> <OCF: Quote me, please.> <aw,: Don't play search-thread games. Don't make people look for what you ...      Jan-15-26 Julien Song    OhioChessFan: 90 minute games today and tomorrow. Next day the rapids. Fourth day the blitz. Am I the only one with no audio on the chess.com stream?      Jan-15-26 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Do yourself a favor and spend three minutes listening to this nice flute driven piece. Nestor Torres-Cute https://youtu.be/Eor1meJSZPs?si=duk...      Jan-14-26 Kibitzer's Café    OhioChessFan: <kl: Today for the first time ever I played a vlack knight to c8> I'm impressed you could keep up with that fact.      Jan-14-26 C Gilberg vs Dickson, 1866    OhioChessFan: <sfod: <jn> couldn't even grant a one-day reprieve for us before he *ruined* the original pun! Talk about raining on the parade.> Thought the same thing.      Jan-13-26 J Krejcik vs J Thirring, 1898   OhioChessFan: "Thirring Victory"      Jan-10-26 J Cesena vs J Dyke, 1979    OhioChessFan: Terrific pun.      Jan-09-26 Milwaukee Chess Club vs Charles City Chess Club, 1876   OhioChessFan: 15. Rd1 is a wasted tempo. I assume White was trying to outnumber the defenders of d5 but missed the skewer Qc6. In any case, as <tsv> said years ago, the Rook needs to stay on the f file.      Jan-08-26 Shabalov vs E Tate, 1998    OhioChessFan: Okay, strained, but nice.      Jan-08-26 Sergei Prokofiev   OhioChessFan: Cinderella's Waltz https://youtu.be/YbaY7p5ahZo?featur... A quick (three minutes) but nice listen.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 782 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-17-19    OhioChessFan: Audit, discredit... Jeet Yet is okay, nothing special. Nov-17-19    chancho: Reddit... 😅 Nov-18-19    FSR: If CG doesn't use my pun, I give up. Probably they'll post 1000 crappy puns in a row without using it. A once in a lifetime pun. Nov-18-19    Count Wedgemore: That was indeed a great pun, <FSR>. Nov-18-19    FSR: Thanks, <Count>! Nov-19-19    OhioChessFan: William Toikka Bio CHAOS Nov-19-19    OhioChessFan: Well, <FSR>, only 999 bad ones to go after today's. Nov-19-19    FSR: <OCF> Yup. A total piece of crap - both the pun and the game. Nov-20-19    FSR: 998 to go. Nov-20-19    OhioChessFan: A bit better than yesterday's anyway. Nov-20-19    FSR: Anything would have been better than "Wayne's World." As for Sana-Blocker, "An Exercise in Fusillity" (I assume that's what you meant, albeit not what you typed) would have been much better. Or maybe they could have made some pun on "sun blocker"? Nov-21-19    OhioChessFan: "Mad Dag" is okay, not a gem. Nov-22-19    OhioChessFan: I don't get today's pun... Nov-22-19    Fusilli: <OCF> See: M Sana vs C Blocker, 2014 Nov-22-19    Fusilli: Though not a particularly exciting game, this one seems to be suitable for "An exercise in fusilli": M Sana vs A E Franklin, 2008 The comment by <Knight13> is apt. And quite funny. What do you think? Nov-22-19    OhioChessFan: Now I am wondering if <FSR> is correct in thinking "fusillity" would be better. Nov-22-19    Fusilli: <OCF> Oh, yeah, that sounds right ("fusillity.") Nov-23-19    thegoodanarchist: What about words ending in "act"? Act Pact Tact Redact Fact Compact Using all in one sentence: It's a fact I had to act with tact to redact the compact pact Nov-23-19    OhioChessFan: Redact and intact were the first 2 to come to mind..as I typed that, impact, contact, contract. Nov-24-19    OhioChessFan: "Bukal Up" is okay, not a gem. Not sure how it got credited to someone else. Strong tendency lately to run a pun the day after it's submitted. Nov-24-19    thegoodanarchist: "Bukal Up" made me groan. I also have no interest in the game whatsoever. Did any of the greats ever say "I really improved in chess after studying the games of Vladimir Bukal Sr " Nov-24-19    OhioChessFan: I got at least dozens of emails from Goldsby saying he did. Nov-25-19    Count Wedgemore: <OCF: I got at least dozens of emails from Goldsby saying he did.> That's interesting! Now that this potentially explosive new information has come to light, I must now rewrite the whole chapter about "Early Influences" in my upcoming book, <The Great Goldsby>. Perhaps even write a separate chapter where I analyze in depth the similarities between Bukal's playing style and that of the Florida master? This book, an unauthorized biography, will now run for at least 400-500 pages, I think. But it's destined to be a hit. The book everyone will want to find under the Christmas tree. I'm thinking the New York Times Best Seller List. Nov-27-19    thegoodanarchist: < Count Wedgemore: ... Perhaps even write a separate chapter where I analyze in depth the similarities between Bukal's playing style and that of the Florida master?...> Hey pal, watch your manners! It's <Life Master>, don't you know? Nov-27-19    Count Wedgemore: <tga> That Life Master thing must be a purely American thing. We don't have that here. Does it mean Master of Life, or Master for Life? If it's the former, it would be more impressive, but a lot more difficult to obtain.
