<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:

3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke

   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.

OhioChessFan: Shostakovich-Jazz Suite Waltz https://youtu.be/mmCnQDUSO4I?si=8_a...

   Jan-13-26 J Krejcik vs J Thirring, 1898

OhioChessFan: "Thirring Victory"

   Jan-11-26 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <HMM: I leaned in where the guy and his wife were sitting and said "I'm sorry. We all didn't vote for Donald Trump."> Whew, what a cuck. 😂 This should be in The Virtue Signalling Hall of Fame. lolz, I'm dying.

   Jan-10-26 Kibitzer's Café

OhioChessFan: <TOP 10 SITAR SONGS OF ALL TIME> Duh. I never realized that was a sitar in Hooked on a Feeling. B. J. Thomas' voice is the most underrated in all pop music. Here's another of his greats. Rock and Roll Lullabye https://youtu.be/r7EvoW3aCKk?si=xKs...

   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.

OhioChessFan: I forgot the different understanding of right, left, liberal, conservative in different countries. Even within the US, they don't mean the same thing as they did 30 years ago.

Sep-02-22		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Sinquefield Cup 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 Mamedyarov with White will draw So in 40 moves, your entry would say: Mamedyarov - So 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.
