<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.

   Jan-29-26 T Lanchava vs A Muzychuk, 2004

OhioChessFan: A great song, a rare rocker with a big banjo presence. The Who-Squeeze Box https://youtu.be/pW3PSKJ-Bik?si=KMi...

   Jan-29-26 Chessgames - Politics

OhioChessFan: <saff: And I am comparing it to an analogous situation to show how ridiculous it is.> It's not close to analogous and you know it. <And I will say this: ICE does not have judicial warrants for the great majority of people they detain.> As if you care.

   Jan-29-26 Chessgames - Sports

OhioChessFan: One voter's explanation: <All of that went into why I felt duty-bound to vote for the richly deserving seniors, who most likely won’t ever have a hearing again as more senior candidates enter the pool and fresh cases get made for others. Meanwhile, Belichick is inevitable

   Jan-28-26 Chessgames - Music

OhioChessFan: Love all the music posted here. A few observations about some of it...I recall the Monday in high school after Devo performed on SNL. It was all anybody talked about. Fleetwood Mac had some early bluesy music that smoked but was essentially forgotten. Reminds me of early Steve ...

   Jan-27-26 Tim Krabbe

OhioChessFan: <sfod> it doesn't look like it. Did you know Krabbe' hasn't updated his popular site in over 3 years?

   Jan-27-26 Rybka vs Shredder, 2008

OhioChessFan: Today's SF says 31...Rxb6 is almost a Pawn worse than Nh6. Seems obvious.

   Jan-27-26 J van Foreest vs Keymer, 2026

OhioChessFan: 13.... 0-0 instead of the inexplicable 13...Ng8 would have been much better. No question Black failed to see the disaster of the middle being opened up.

   Jan-27-26 Sindarov vs Abdusattorov, 2026

OhioChessFan: White has the Bishop pair but no real targets. Black has an outside passer with no real prospects, and a more secure King. Pretty even.

   Jan-26-26 Kasparov vs C Oblitas, 1993

OhioChessFan: Pretty good pun. Hard to believe Kaspy performed so well in a clock simul against such strong competition. IIRC, he set an upper ELO limit of 2000 in most simuls. I would love to know if he also missed Qa4. I'm guessing yes.

   Jan-25-26 Abdusattorov vs Giri, 2026

OhioChessFan: Thanks for the game cg.c

Feb-25-23		chessmoron: <NEXT PREDICTION CONTEST> The World Championship MATCH of <Nepo vs Ding> in April.

Feb-25-23		OhioChessFan: Final Recap <lostemperor> wore his Pikachu costume well as he picked up 3 Golds! <Pengo> held on for one Gold and 2 Silvers. Other medalists were <cm> with 2 Silvers, <juan> with a Silver and 2 Bronze, <OCF> with a Silver, and <Messiah> with 2 Bronze. In other news, the tournament directors discussed banning <Messiah> from next year's tournament, as he stood at the door screaming at anyone who tried to enter the playing arena after the start of the last round. <lostemperor> is trying to get <chessmoron> to start a new Ranker called "Most Upset with a Contestant", or something like that. It involves deviant behavior or something. Everyone was pretty much afraid to ask about it. Meanwhile, <juan31> stood outside the playing arena, grabbing anyone who'd listen to him, and explaining his new chess philosophy that a draw + a draw + a draw = a draw. Apparently that was too deep for most people, as they mostly just stared at him like he's crazy. And so closes another bizarre Moves Prediction Contest. Maybe we'll have a contest for the WCC. Hoping <chessmoron> runs one.
