<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

   Jan-15-26 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <saff: The plausible explanation? She wanted to make ICE's job more difficult. That is not interfering.> I must defer to <TI> and agree you're not acting in good faith.

   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.

Dec-25-21		OhioChessFan: They roll over at 8 pm. I don't know why. It's here to stay apparently. Merry Christmas to all

Dec-25-21		thegoodanarchist: <OhioChessFan: They roll over at 8 pm.> Still too early, since I posted at 7:46 PM. <I don't know why. It's here to stay apparently.> It's new this year.

Dec-26-21		OhioChessFan: I stand corrected. It rolls over at 7:00.

Dec-28-21		Penguincw: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year <OhioChessFan>. (and you too <chessmoron>)

Jan-09-22		chessmoron: Get the gear, TATA STEEL tournament is a go.

Jan-12-22		Penguincw: Good to hear <chessmoron>. Looking forward to it.

Jan-13-22		OhioChessFan: White to play and win: click for larger view By Otto Blathy

Jan-13-22		George Wallace: Nice puzzle! Took me a while. 1. Kxe1 and now the only thing Black can do is shuffle his Queen from a1 to a2. The plan now is for white to promote to a knight and eventually take the black rook on b3 with checkmate. The trouble is after 2. h4, White can never time it so the black queen is on a1 when he takes the rook on b3 to give mate. No matter how you dance the knight around, you can't force Black into zugzwang. Therefore 2.h3! So: 1. Kxe1 Qa1 2. h3! Qa2 3. h4 Qa1 4. h5 Qa2 5. h6 Qa1 6. h7 Qa2 7. h8=N Qa1 8. Nf7 Qa2 9. Nd6 Qa1 10. Nb7 Qa2 11. Nxc5 Qa1 12. Nb7 Qa2 13. Nd6 Qa1 14. Nxc4 Qa2 15. Na5 Qa1 16. Nxb3#

Jan-14-22		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Tata Steel 2022 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 Karjakin in 40 moves, your entry would say: Caruana - Karjakin 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-14-22		Penguincw: chess24 seems to have released the pairings. No idea how accurate they are, but here I go: Round 1: Vidit - Shankland 1/2-1/2 40 Caruana - Karjakin 1/2-1/2 40 Dubov - Mamedyarov 0-1 40 Espienko - Carlsen 1/2-1/2 40 Giri - Praggnanandhaa 1/2-1/2 40 Duda - Rapport 1-0 40 Van Foreest - Grandelius 1-0 40

Jan-15-22		OhioChessFan: I'll request the contestants not use the already made picks of everyone else to influence your picks. This has bothered me greatly in the past and I don't care for it.

Jan-15-22		chessmoron: I wish there's a bit more participants to be more competitive.

Jan-15-22		OhioChessFan: Yeah just 5 so far. I've hit up everyone with a forum. I'll try some last minute advertising.

Jan-15-22		OhioChessFan: I encourage everyone here to join the Games Prediction Contest at Golden Executive chessforum and the Final Standings Contest at lostemperor chessforum
