| | lostemperor: The calculating software is not generous with points, so if you were wrong on one or two like Dominguez you might end up in red. These things happens and now to my friend kibitzer and first ever winner of this prediction contest (Corus 2005) and double Gold Medal Winner <suenteus po 147>. A better predictor than me here. He also won Biel 2006 and had a correct match prediction Kramnik vs Topalov which were not included in the Hall of Fame. I’m sure he’ll be back!;) |

Aug-01-08
| | lostemperor: SQUARE RANKER (squared deviation of prediction)
<Stonehenge> also won this! There will be no extra medals rewarded (if the winner is one and the same person)~. The other medal spots are the same ads in the Absolute Ranker! There seems to be a big representation of Dutch medalist in the Biel 2008 contest .. Gold, Bronze! Maximum score: 55

 | | Stonehenge: Wheeeh, finally I win something! Funny thing is, my Chessbookie bets didn't work out at all, except for the last round. |
|
Aug-01-08
| | lostemperor: That is because the chessbookie game is not predicting. It is gambling!:) |
|
Aug-01-08
| | lostemperor: I will do the surprise players' awards tomorrow. Here the amount of deviations of the predictions per player: 109,Dominguez
76,Carlsen
64,Alekseev
49,Bacrot
49,Onischuk
40,Pelletier
Carlsen is the biggest upset after Dominguez, negatively that is. |

Aug-01-08
| | lostemperor: Here the average prediction standing of a player, highest and lowest prediction 1.19,Carlsen,1,2
2.52,Alekseev,1,4

|
Aug-01-08
| | lostemperor: There were some problems since I forget to follow <YouRang>s advice to log out first, so that the word "delete" is gone. When I did, the software did not delete the old input. In other words the deviations are about doubled since almost everyone is calculated twice.. |
|
| Aug-01-08 | | YouRang: Thanks <lostemperor>, and congrats to the winners. I see that my plan of having Onishuk finish 2nd behind Carlsen, and Bacrot finishing last didn't work out so well. :-p |
|

|
Aug-12-08
