|
| May-25-07 | | suenteus po 147: <lostemperor> I posted my predictions for the candidates matches back in September. Do they still count or must I repost? |
|
May-25-07
| | lostemperor: <suenteus po> that's fine, you don't have to repost it. But it is okay you tell, since I just assume some might want to change their minds! |

|
May-25-07
| | lostemperor: Ok, for simplicity sake, let's agree that anyone who has already made a prediction and wants to change it (or wants out) can do so now. Otherwise your old prediction will count. |
|
| May-25-07 | | YouRang: <lostemperor: Ow, I noticed four names are missing from the list! <kolobok>, <Robin01>, <hitman84> and <Nakosonorense>! > Oh great - 4 more people to pile on top of me. :-p |

|
| May-28-07 | | cromat: ooops, u r rite, is it to late now? btw, yesterday was draw Bacrot - Kamsky 2.5-3.5

|
Jun-02-07
| | lostemperor: Kamsky finished at +3
Leko finished at +3
Grischuk finished at +2
The remaining matches will either be decided today or in tie-breakers.
Aronian - Carlsen at level score as is Gelfand - Kasimdzanov. Rublevsky, Bareev and Adams at +1. |
|
Jun-02-07
| | lostemperor: After six exciting rounds these are the match results:
1. Aronian - Carlsen 3-3
2. Leko - Gurevich 3.5-0.5 (Leko +3)
3. Ponomariov - Rublevsky 2.5-3.5 (+1)
4. Gelfand - Kasimdzhanov 3-3
5. Bacrot - Kamsky 0.5-3.5 (+3)
6. Grischuk - Malakhov 3.5-1.5 (Grischuk +2)
7. Polgar - Bareev 2.5-3.5 (+1)
8. Shirov - Adams 3-3
I will count on + scores (+2, +1 +0, -1 etc.). A 4-2 prediction meaning a +2 result for the first player. If that player scores -1, the difference, three points, will be deducted. Three matches going into tie-breakers! (one bonus point for each correct match winner |

Jun-04-07
| | lostemperor: Here are the results of the CANDIDATE MATCHES PREDICTIONS 2007
Maximum score is 56 (48+8bonus)
Although the differences are not very big we have five winners in quest for gold! All these five have distinguised themselves from others with at least one fine match prediction away from the general assumption. Congratulations!

I’ve taken some time to check the results, however if you think there are still mistakes or something you don’t understand, please let me know. |

| Jun-04-07 | | YouRang: Yes!!! It feels good to be back on top (in good company) after my crash-and-burn in the Mtel final standings contest. Thanks <lostemperor>. |
|
Jun-05-07
| | lostemperor: THE PREDICTIONS (details):
Correct prediction Aronian vs Carlsen: <acirce>, <iron maiden> <suenteus po 147> 3*-3 Best prediction Ponomariov vs Rublevsky (2.5 - 3.5): <kellmano> 2-4; <Monteal1666> 3-3* Correct prediction Polgar vs Bareev: <larrewl>, <percyblakeney>, <positionalgenius> 2.5 3.5 Best prediction on Shirov Adams (3*-3): <YouRang> 3.5 2.5; <chessmoron> 4-2 *winning on tie-break
Nevertheless the differences in scores were relatively small. |
|
| Jun-05-07 | | suenteus po 147: <lostemperor> I find it ironic that two big Carlsen fans (and one Carlsen fan in the making) correctly predicted his elimination in the tiebreaks after drawing the match proper. |
|
| Jun-05-07 | | chessmoron: Damn!!! I suck at this prediction even though I was one of the best predictor for a certain series. |
|
| Jun-05-07 | | Dr.Lecter: Bad at prediction, I am. Not even going to try, I am. Have a question, I do, however. Have a prediction contest, didn't <Yourang>, as well? |
|
| Jun-17-07 | | yalie: Dortmund predictions
Anand +2
Mamedarov, Carlsen, Leko +1
Gelfand, Kramnik 0
Alexeev -2
Naiditsch -3 |
|
Jun-18-07
| | lostemperor: Whoops, I just got back from a two week trip in England and Scotland and only now just see the qualifiers of the second round matches! Gelfand beating Kamsky perhaps being the biggest upset? |
|
Jun-18-07
| | lostemperor: <Dr.Lecter>, <YouRang> run a games results prediction contest as opposite to a final tournament standings prediction contest I run. This was started by the chessgames.com kibitzers when they started making predictions of Corus 2005. I only provided a service by making a calculating counting system for the predictions. This is the first match prediction contest (together with the Topalov vs Kramnik match predictions). I'm afraid I do better in <YouRang> prediction contests than in mine(!) |
