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.

Jan-13-26 J Krejcik vs J Thirring, 1898   OhioChessFan: "Thirring Victory"      Jan-13-26 C Gilberg vs Dickens, 1866    OhioChessFan: Really like the pun.      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-11-26 Chessgames - Music   OhioChessFan: Shirley Horn-Here's to Life https://youtu.be/UTv3TONfTTQ?si=ZTi...      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.

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-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 827 OF 849 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-13-22    Golden Executive: Many thanks to the crew, <chessmoron>, <ocf> and <WinKing>, for another exciting contest and congratulations to all of the medal winners, especially to <Penguincw> and <whiteshark> on their double crowns. See you folks next time! Nov-30-22    Schwartz: Here's a somewhat chaotic song I liked. Bohuslav Martinů - String quartet No. 6 (1946) I. Allegro moderato https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAo... Dec-01-22    OhioChessFan: I wasn't familiar with Martinu. Sort of controlled dissonance there. Dec-14-22    OhioChessFan: Something to lift your soul a little. Clementi was highly regarded in his lifetime but much forgotten since. Clementi-Sonata in F-sharp minor, Op. 25 No. 5 - Vladimir Horowitz https://youtu.be/fI8Zjz1Xj9A Dec-17-22    OhioChessFan: https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocih... Dec-18-22    diceman: <OhioChessFan: Beethoven's birthday today. A surpassing genius, he knew his time composing was running short due to worse and worse deafness. So his last great symphony was a praise to God. I think I'd have been bitter.> How Did Beethoven Hear Music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bA... Dec-21-22    Fusilli: <Schwartz: Here's a somewhat chaotic song I liked.> Interesting... I am listening to it and I want to like it, but can't quite get myself to. Probably not the best thing to listen to at 8am. I had never heard of <Martinů> On the other hand, I tend to like modern operas (well, I like opera in general), and this same music in an opera, accompanying some singing, would probably thrill me. Dec-25-22    Fusilli: Merry Christmas, <OCF>! Dec-26-22    Penguincw: Hi <OhioChessFan>. Dropping by to wish you a Merry Christmas! (and chessmoron too) Jan-05-23    lostemperor: Hi OhioChessFan! Im back with a new avatar to hold the Tata Steel Chess prediction contest. Dont see my old forum yet however?! Jan-05-23    OhioChessFan: I tried and it wasn't open. Maybe you should ask the admins about it. chessgames.com chessforum Jan-05-23    Messiah: The TATA 2023 Masters has an impressive lineup: Justin, Ding, Caruana, Giri, So, Rapport, Aronian, Dommaraju Gukesh, Erigaisi, Maghsoodloo (the replacement of Clueless: https://tatasteelchess.com/news/par...), Abdusattorov, Annoyingface, Praggnanandhaa and Jorden van Foreest! I am very excited: I will be particularly interested in the performance of Ding and Rapport. Would be nice to see MVL and Vidit, but this time I have to accept they will not play. The Challengers section is weaker, obviously, but not uninteresting for me: Tabatabaei, Salem Saleh, Sindarov, Pechac, Donchenko, Erwin L'Ami, Warmerdam, Adhiban, Yilmaz, Supi, the absurdly young Abhimanyu, Beersden, Vaishali and Roebers. I did not decide yet if I'll attend a day or two. Jan-09-23    lostemperor: Maybe people can start posting the Tata final standings predictions in your forum untill mine is up and running again <OhioChessFan>? Jan-09-23    OhioChessFan: Sounds good. If need be, I could copy/paste them to your forum later. Did you try to activate my your forum in your preferences? Jan-10-23    lostemperor: No. There was no option. I think the administrator did my forum back up. Thanks! Jan-12-23    OhioChessFan: Calling <chessmoron>..............
