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!

< Earlier Kibitzing · PAGE 53 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Apr-03-08		rogge: Baku prediction: 1. Carlsen 2-3. Radjabov-Kamsky 4-5. Mamedyarov-Karjakin 6. Grischuk 7. Adams 8. Svidler 9-11. Wang Hue-Cheparinov-Bacrot 12.Inarkiev 13. Navara 14. Gashimov

Apr-03-08		lostemperor: <NakoSonorense> the other 10 signs you find at User: Larsker. It was a kibitz classic. He added: final sign that you're spending too much time on chessgames.com: You start making top 10 lists. Or top 15 for that matter =)

Apr-12-08		ahmadov: I am supposed to visit The Hague (closer to you :-) ) before the tournament starts, so I am posting the prediction now, so that I do not forget: 1-2. Mamedyarov, Radjabov 3. Carlsen 4. Svidler 5. Grischuk 6. Kamsky 7. Adams 8. Gashimov 9. Karjakin 10. Cheparinov 11. Navara 12. Inarkiev 13. Bacrot 14. Wang Yue

Apr-14-08		lostemperor: <ahmadov> You visit The Hague?!! Mail me, cause we should meet! I know a cosy chesscafé there :)

Apr-14-08		cromat: Baku pred: 1. Mamedyarov 2. Carlsen 3. Radjabov 4. Svidler 5. Kamsky 6. Adams 7. Karjakin 8. Grischuk 9. Cheparinov 10. Bacrot 11. Wang Yue 12. Inarkiev 13. Navara 14. Gashimov

Apr-15-08		ahmadov: <lostemperor: <ahmadov> You visit The Hague?!! Mail me, cause we should meet! I know a cosy chesscafé there :)> That would be very interesting to meet and play a game of chess. In case if you are interested, I will stay in Delta Hotel...

Apr-15-08		WannaBe: <LostEmperor> The top 15 signs stops at 11, is it intentional? Or just a minor blunder?

Apr-16-08		lostemperor: <ahmadov> Looking forward meeting you! I receive your mail and send you one back. Would be fun to play chess also!:) <WannaBe> it was an intentional follow up from <Larsker> classic top 10 signs that you're spending too much time at chessgames.com =)

Apr-16-08		lostemperor: I put it here for the record in case I might delete it from my profile one day ;-) TOP 15 SIGNS THAT YOU ARE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME AT CHESSGAMES.COM: 15) After being a long time kibitzer, you forgot your own name. You actually think it is http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...! 14) As an anonymous user, you feel the urge to register. My advice is: Don't! Your life will never be the same. 13) You see Yoda in the mirror. 12) You visited the bookie game loanshark only to find out you already borrowed money today for the daily chess bets. 11) You know all the games of a great World Champion but what was his name again? Was it Lasker or User: Larsker?

Apr-16-08		Red October: #10 you actually think you can play Grandmaster chess because you click on the go button in the Fritz Interface and spot the GM blunder

Apr-17-08		lostemperor: 9) You think the October Revolution was started by chess players:)

Apr-17-08		positionalgenius: <lostemperor> Radjabov winning Baku? Bold...

Apr-18-08		ahmadov: <lostemperor: <ahmadov> Looking forward meeting you! I receive your mail and send you one back. Would be fun to play chess also!:)> I have sent you another email, which requires your kind and quick reply today...

Apr-18-08		whiteshark: fyi: Here are the list of the players (by April 2008 rating order) in the Baku Grand Prix: Magnus Carlsen (NOR 2765) Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (AZE 2752) Teimour Radjabov (AZE 2751) Peter Svidler (RUS 2746) Sergey Karjakin (UKR 2732) Michael Adams (ENG 2729) Gata Kamsky (USA 2726) Alexander Grischuk (RUS 2716) Etienne Bacrot (FRA 2705) Ivan Cheparinov (BUL 2695) Wang Yue (CHN 2689) Ernesto Inarkiev (RUS 2684) Vugar Gashimov (AZE 2679) David Navara (CZE 2672)

Apr-19-08		ahmadov: <positionalgenius: <lostemperor> Radjabov winning Baku? Bold...> I expect some good results from Gashimov as well...

Apr-19-08		lostemperor: Bedankt <whiteshark>. <ahmadov> it is difficult to say who is going to be first. I was thinking of Radjabov and Mamedyarov and not because they play in Azerbaijan. I think they are the players in form for this tournament though anything can happen. I chose Radjabov. See you in Den Haag:)

Apr-19-08		ahmadov: <See you in Den Haag:)> Yeap, we will have a chance to discuss this and other topics face-to-face at a chess board :-)

Apr-19-08		brankat: <ahmadov> <..a chance to discuss this and other topics face-to-face at a chess board :-)> Why was I under the impression You were making a "business trip"? :-) Have a great time guys!
