<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.

OhioChessFan: Amusing pun.

OhioChessFan: Here's a couple nice songs by the tenor Stanley Turrentine. No surprise that besides jazz, he played on some funk and fusion songs. Midnight and You https://youtu.be/BIhO2Tq2f40?si=9fP... Sir Duke https://youtu.be/O4uo8pq1kzM?si=nI5...
 
   Apr-09-26 Giri vs Nakamura, 2026 (replies)
 
OhioChessFan: I'm trying to work this out from Giri's POV. Maybe he had a novelty prepared in the Englisch and Naka derailed it with 3...h6. Otherwise, he played for a draw while essentially needing a win.

OhioChessFan: Pretty good pun. Nice finish to the game.
 
   Apr-07-26 Nakamura vs Caruana, 2026 (replies)
 
OhioChessFan: <ge: Both players got both of their Rs to the 7th rank, Caruana even got there first, but it was so, so much more effective for White> Naka got the check in first.

  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>.

  OhioChessFan: Well, <FSR>, only 999 bad ones to go after today's.

  FSR: <OCF> Yup. A total piece of crap - both the pun and the game.
Nov-20-19

  FSR: 998 to go.

  OhioChessFan: A bit better than yesterday's anyway.

Premium Chessgames Member
  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"?

  OhioChessFan: "Mad Dag" is okay, not a gem.

  Fusilli: <OCF> See: M Sana vs C Blocker, 2014

Premium Chessgames Member
  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
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Now I am wondering if <FSR> is correct in thinking "fusillity" would be better.
Nov-22-19
Premium Chessgames Member
  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
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Redact and intact were the first 2 to come to mind..as I typed that, impact, contact, contract.

  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 "

  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: ...

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.
