Round 8:

For Round 4, in the Niemann vs. Firouzja game (OhioChessFan chessforum (kibitz #21336)) which ended in a 43 move draw, <Firouzjias> got credit for a draw in 44, but in reality, he predicted "0-1 41" for that game.

(it was the only game that round he did <not> predict draw in 44, hence the error - the post is here: OhioChessFan chessforum (kibitz #21329))

<paavoh> who predicted draw in 55 should've gotten the 2nd over, while <whiteshark> who got draw in 60 should get the 3rd over.

The entire universe seems to be in turmoil, all fueled by this contest. <whiteshark> and <Pengo> lead 2 Rankers each, with a zillion other people close behind. An unnoticed bit of good news was that our final 0 came off the scoreboard.

In other new, <Pengo> tried to explain to everyone else why his previous explanation to everyone else about the 10 point bonus was wrong. He admitted he didn't know what he was talking about, but then talked about it for like a half hour about what he thinks it does mean. Inevitably, that explanation will turn out to be wrong too. <chessmoron> was seen in the audience holding his head and asking, "Why me, Lord?" <Messiah> has been leading calls for Carlsen to explain himself, although it appears that's not going to happen. <whiteshark> had some convoluted idea about whether Carlsen's games should count and maybe we should wait until after the tournament to see, and if he was still leading a Ranker, then clearly nothing should change. <chessmoron> was seen sadly shaking his head in response.

Meanwhile, <offramp> predicted Alejandro Ramirez to win a game and he's not even in the tournament. Nobody has figured it out yet. <GE> apparently has "stuff" going on today, and word on the street is that he's helping Carlsen prepare an explanation for his behavior. <Pengo> asked the philosophical question, "How soon is soon?" Nobody was interested, although we're sure to see like a 5000 word answer from <Pengo> in the near future. <OCF> is doing so bad he doesn't really care how anyone else is doing, so he's not a bit interested inn the answer.
