<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

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 ...

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...

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.

Jan-01-20		OhioChessFan: Playing through the QGA in Opening Explorer, and ran into this: Opening Explorer Somehow, I think there's a bug....

Jan-02-20		Fusilli: <OCF> Why do you think there is a bug? What's wrong?

Jan-02-20		Fusilli: Oh, sorry, I looked at the position, not the sequence.

Jan-03-20		OhioChessFan: bgitw chessforum I encourage everyone to enter their votes for Game of the Year.

Jan-04-20		OhioChessFan: Best Puns of 2019: July 11 Tristan-Wagner's Tragic Drama L Tristan vs W Madeira, 2008 By <Lossmaster> I think September 3 The g7 Summit P Dubinin vs Nikola Petrov, 1936 By <phonybenoni> September 12 Felecan Brief F Felecan vs F Rhine, 2019 By Yours Truly October 6 One of These Knights Tarjan vs R Henley, 1978 I blush, me again October 8 L Jackson vs Browne, 1966 Doctor My Eyes Unsure, maybe <tpstar>?

Jan-04-20		OhioChessFan: Wiki entry: <The front page also features a puzzle of the day> Would homepage be better than front page? <The site has over 197,000 registered members> Should be updated. <Grandmasters who have posted on Chessgames.com include Varuzhan Akobian, Rogelio Antonio Jr., Keith Arkell, Oliver Barbosa, Jayson Gonzales, Danny Gormally, Jon Ludvig Hammer, Arno Nickel, David Norwood, James Plaskett, Alejandro Ramirez, Yury Shulman, Wesley So, Mihai Suba, Gert Jan Timmerman, Tansel Turgut, Mikhail Umansky, Simon Kim Williams and Patrick Wolff.> Should include GM Golubev. <Chessgames began as a chess learning site and now has a Playing Zone for real-time play.> Obsolete. The Tim Harding reference in the Criticism paragraph looks a bit snarky. Harding's one line in one post was apparently enough to get one person to think that should be immortalized on CG.C's Wiki page. Whatever, I guess.

Jan-04-20		Count Wedgemore: <Best Puns of 2019> You forgot this one: January 26 The Shankland Redemption S Shankland vs I Nepomniachtchi, 2019 Clearly just an oversight :)

Jan-04-20		OhioChessFan: My first time through, I picked out 8, and sort of arbitrarily went with 6. The Shankland Redemption was one of the 2 that didn't make the final cut. Clearly that was a bad mistake on my part. And the other one that didn't make the final cut: Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Alekhine vs Russian Chess Circle, 1931

Jan-04-20		Penguincw: < Dec-26-19 OhioChessFan: Happy Boxing Day! > Happy Boxing Day to you too! (I'm totally not over a week late)

Jan-08-20		chessmoron: Prepare for <Tata Steel Chess tournament 2020>.

Jan-09-20		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Tata Steel 2020 Moves Prediction Contest. This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in the first round game you think Caruana with White will draw Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say: Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <GoldenExecutive> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. For heaven's sake, don't ask <OhioChessFan> to try to fix it! It can seem intimidating to new players, but no worries. Feel free to ask questions. I will point out the scoring system (in my profile) is heavily weighted toward being under, and not over, the actual number of moves.

Jan-10-20		Count Wedgemore: <OCF> Thanks for reminding me of the Moves Prediction Contest. Looking forward to it. Feels like it's been quite a long time since the last one. I too think one of the best things with <Best Games of 2019> is to look at the games that people vote for. There are so many top level chess games played each year that it's next to impossible to keep track of it all, so its a good way to discover, or rediscover, some gems. I also liked very much this game that you nominated: D Dubov vs A Giri, 2019 For Dubov to play with his king exposed like that, the audacity!
