Some years ago I came up with a new but simple system to calculate the final standings of a tournament including all players. This is how it goes:
For each correct standing you'll get a maximum amount of points. Each prediction deviation from the actual player standing in the tournament, will deduct one point from your total (ABSOLUTE RANKER).
In case of a shared player's standing the average standing counts (both actual and in your predictions).
The SQUARE RANKER, squares your predictions' deviations. Here only medals are awarded if the winner s is not the same person s as in the absolute ranker.
Same goes for the The PAIR BETTING RANKER compare all possible pair outcomes of the tournament participants.
The three best predictions will get Real Virtual Gold Silver and Bronze!
Note: only one set of medals is awarded (in the absolute ranker) unless another ranker produces a different winner.
Special thanks to <YouRang> who made a software to calculate these numbers.
Our new contest manager for game results prediction User: Golden Executive during the tournament also ([1-0], [1/2], [0-1])!
or predict the # of moves in User: ohiochessfan organized by <chessmoron>
Enjoy!

Van Wely 12. Mamedyarov 13. Sokolov 14. Tiviakov Of course if I pick winners in the individual rounds, I doubt I'll be consistent with the above. ;-)

Jan-13-06		lostemperor: <Nakosonorense> if you have already posted your predictions on the Corus page you don't have to repost it. It is requested however to post new predictions here.

Jan-13-06		lostemperor: Quizquestion of Corus 2006. Which player was also a last minute replacement in a major international tournament and won shared first place there then? Two clues: this player is playing in this year's Corus A too and he was also a replacement for Vladimir Kramnik! Any guesses? (more clues later)

Jan-13-06		DCP23: Topalov?

Jan-15-06		lostemperor: Ok the predictioncontest for Corus is closed. Thanks all for participating. Now for the Corusquizquestion. I knew it was a tough one. Only one person dared to make a guess <DCP23>! <Which player was also a last minute replacement in a strong international tournament and won shared first place there then? Two clues: this player is playing in this year's Corus A too and he was also a replacement for Vladimir Kramnik!> Like I said I will not reveal anything of the answer untill in a few days. But here two promised extra clues. This tournament was played about 10 years ago now and the co-winner was Jeroen Piket.

Jan-15-06		cu8sfan: <lostemperor> Ah, I envy you. For me the work now begins and you can just lean back and enjoy the games. (-:

Jan-15-06		Chopin: 1. Topalov 2. Anand 3. Aronian 4. Ivanchuk 5. Adams 6. Leko 7. Bacrot 8. Gelfand 9. Karjakin 10. Sokolov 11 Van Wely 12. Kamsky 13. Tiviakov 14. Mamedyarov

Jan-15-06		EmperorAtahualpa: attention <<<<<<Corus 2006 pictures>>>>>> The pictures I took at Corus 2006 are now online! You can view them on the following website: http://corus2006.photos.us.com If you have questions or comments about the pictures or the website, or if you want the original pictures, please write me a message on my EmperorAtahualpa chessforum. Thanks. P.S.: Since visitors were not allowed to use flash photography and my tripod was too big to set up in the middle of the crowd, many pictures turned out blurred. Originally, I had over 150 pictures but only these 74 were good enough to put on my website. :( You will notice that some of these pictures are blurred too, but you will also notice that they get better along the way. <<<<<<Corus 2006 Pictures>>>>>>

Jan-16-06		Ibelox: <Corusquizquestion> It was Boris Gelfand (Tilburg 1996)

Jan-16-06		lostemperor: <EmperorAtahualpa> thanks for making pictures!

Jan-16-06		EmperorAtahualpa: <thanks for making pictures!> <lostemperor> You're very welcome. :) Sorry for using your forum, but I know many Corus enthousiasts visit it!

Jan-16-06		lostemperor: <cu8sfan> let just say that my work starts all at once, at the end of the tournament, what doesn't mean that I envy you though!

Jan-16-06		cu8sfan: I'll make sure to bother you and ask for the results as soon as the tournament's last move's been played. (-;
