<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

Jul-02-23		eternaloptimist: Hey <OCF>! How’s it going? Btw I replied to ur kibitz in my forum. I hope u r doing well

Aug-03-23		WannaBe: Hello <OCF> I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ril... and wanted to posted on the Stomper page, or is it Stumper page?! Been so long, when I try to look at players' directory and/or EZ-search, nothing came up. Is that page gone? Am I just losing my mind? White to move, and not allow black to promote, pawns are 2 squares away from promotion click for larger view

Aug-03-23		OhioChessFan: A belated hello <eo>

Aug-03-23		OhioChessFan: <Wassabi> it seems to me Qxd3 is the key. 1. Qxd3 a2 2. Qxc3 click for larger view 1...b2 2. Qb1 c2 3.Qxc2 click for larger view or 2...a2 3. Qxa2 click for larger view 1...c2 2. Qc3 b2 3. Qxc2 click for larger view or 2...a2 3. Qb2 click for larger view This was tough until I figured out the essential idea.

Aug-10-23		Chesschronicle22: Hi <OCF>, I was doing puzzles and I found this, the funny thing was that when I was thinking, I missclicked, but somehow by some miracle, it was right! click for larger view good luck :)

Aug-11-23		OhioChessFan: Impossible to believe White's best move is 1. Qh7. Mate next move in all variations. 1...Kc6 2. Qb7# 1...Ke6 2. Qf5# 1...Ke5. 2. Qf5# 1...Kc4 2. Nxd4# (my favorite) 1...c4. 2. Qe4# 1...d3 2. Qe4#

Aug-13-23		OhioChessFan: Testing....

Aug-13-23		OhioChessFan: Testing...

Aug-13-23		Messiah: <OhioChessFan: Testing...> Test failed.

Aug-14-23		WannaBe: <OFC> For you... I gave it A+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTb...

Aug-18-23		Chesschronicle22: <OCF>, I didnt win ;-;, i got 14th place out of 30 people, there were 3 players with ratings above 2000+.

Aug-19-23		OhioChessFan: Really interesting <Wassabi>

Aug-19-23		OhioChessFan: Cc22, review your losses. That's the best way to improve.

Aug-22-23		eternaloptimist: <OCF> Well a belated hello is definitely better than no hello at all & my reply to that kibitz is belated as well. 1 of my games got picked for GOTD today for the 1st time in ~2 years & 4 months! Although I really haven’t tried that hard to submit a GOTD the last couple of years. Speaking of the GOTD, u hv come up w/ some really good GOTDs over the years w/ some really good puns as well! I also agree that analyzing ur own games is the best way to improve as a chess player. Also u learn a lot more from analyzing ur losses than analyzing ur wins
