 | | OhioChessFan: <jessicamonkeyqueen> if you threaten to copy the Monkey Predictor, you are morally obligated to participate in the contest. I just made that rule up, but it stands as written. <chessmaroon> I'll figure out some random methodology of Monkey Picking and enter them into the written record after your post round recaps. |

| | OhioChessFan: Here's my very favorite <Wilson Pickett> song as performed by <chessmoron>: Monkey Sally
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1F... |
|
Nov-13-21
| | OhioChessFan: Of course, <jfq> and I are kidding about <chessmoron> being Wilson Pickett. So here, in fact, is an actual Youtube recording of <chessmoron> singing. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAU... |
|
Nov-13-21
| | OhioChessFan: You know, I think those models in the Monkey Sally video might have been the female chess players <chessmoron> met at the "Chess Club". I'm pretty sure they are. |

<Ohio> I will definitely participate in the contest! What is the occasion? Excellent video. I have long suspected <Wilson> was in fact the Monkey Ranker.... I'd just like to add that <Wilson>, even if he is the Monkey Ranker, is a bit of all right. Look how handsome he is even when sideways! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAU... |
|
Nov-14-21
| | OhioChessFan: Yeah, that sideways thing confused me. Maybe there's so many people in China the combined weight caused the country to tilt over. |

|
Nov-14-21
| | OhioChessFan: It's also possible the video had to turn the picture sideways and use wide angle to fit <chessmoron> in. Being 7' 6" creates a myriad of problems. |

What better way to have a prediction contest than a <World Championship>...> All RIGHT!! I'll be posting my first predictions late on 25th of November. |

<OhioPunFan>
These puns are truly inspired thank you- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac_... . They are up there with the creations of master cg.com punsters such as <yourself>, <HMS>, <boomie>, and <Crawfb5>. I still remember when <boomie> skated home in a "fish-related" pun contest some years ago. This was no surprise- nobody was expecting him to be floundering or piscine in the wind in this tussle. He really did flex his mussels though, hammerheading home the win with the immortal "Bass make the best employees because they will work for scale..." |

<Wilson brand tennis balls> When do I put in my rankers brah? I didn't have time to look up three posts from mine to see when the contest starts, so I'll rely on you to let me know. If I remember correctly, you have gibbon me permission to ape the picks of the Monkey Ranker? |

<chessmoron: Hey <friends>
What better way to have a prediction contest than a <World Championship>. Get you prediction hat on, and let's PREDICT! The drawing of colors will be available on Nov 24th (Opening Ceremony). All predictions must be posted on User: OhioChessFan before NOV 26th, 2021 at 7:30AM Eastern time. Since there's 14 games total, predict as many games as you think the winner will need to score 7.5 points, the number needed to win the match. Then predict the number of moves each game you think will be played. Be warned, if a game is not played and you predicted a game result, you will lose 3 points. ie. If game 14 is not played and you predict a game 14, you lose 3 points." Posting format:
G1: Nepomniachtchi-Carlsen (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played) G2: Carlsen-Nepomniachtchi (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played) 3. Only Moves+Bonus Ranker (See OhioChessFan chessforum 's profile on what that is about) will be used to medal. 4. I will post results after game 4, game 8, game 12, and game 14. > |

Excellent rules you guys. I think I'm almost ready to put in my bids. Just making sure I have all this right- for the bonus rounds, the Monkey Ranker must tally "only moves" such as the King moving out of check or a soldier blocking the path of check, or in the case of a horse ranker, a hop angled menacingly to the King's repose. It's a good job I got my A-level in maths! |
