<Format>:

[player]-[player] [result] [MOVE]

==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: 2 pts rewarded closest OVER(2nd-OVER) to 45 moves.

<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.

OhioChessFan: People should be celeberating the success of Karjakin, who had recently appeared to hit a bit of a wall, instead of scorning a mere second place finish by Carlsen.

  WinKing: Good luck everyone! A lot of medals up for grabs today by a lot of contenders. This is one of the better finishes I have ever witnessed.

  OhioChessFan: And we'rrrrrrrrre off! Games have started, the crowd is roaring and all 4 Gold Medals are up for grabs.

  OhioChessFan: In game update:

Aronian-Carlsen looks very drawish early. Hammer Time and Naka look like a decisive game is coming, but not sure for which side. Karjakin/Topa have an interesting position with a bizarre Pawn structure. Radja and Svidler look to be in an endgame only 21 moves in. Wang and Vishy are trading bad moves.

May-18-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: And our first result is in. Aronian-Carlsen was a 30 move draw.
May-18-13

  OhioChessFan: K Update K

Early exit polls suggest another draw, Radja-Svidler in 31 moves.

May-18-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: K Update K

Our first decisive result. Naka won in 33 moves against Hammer. Karjakin-Topa is drawish according to evals, but a very tense position. Wang is winning against Vishy.

  OhioChessFan: K Update K

And it's final, Wang beat Vishy in 38 moves. Is it possible the entire group missed it?

May-18-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  OhioChessFan: Off to work, Karjakin/Topa appears to be a draw, many points depend on how many moves.

Elvis was quite pleased the last game ended up a 50 move draw between Karjakin and Topalov. <chessmoron> the envelope please..........

  OhioChessFan: 2 Hall of Famers won the Golds in this contest. After leaking oil for a couple rounds, Elvis came through in the end, with a little help from Karjakin and Topalov, totalling 3 Golds and 1 Bronze. Golden Executive won the other Gold and a Silver. twinlark had 2 Silvers. lostemperor had a Silver and a Bronze. PinnedPiece had 2 Bronze.

Thanks to <chessmoron> and all competitors. The next big Tournament is Dortmund at the end of July, but that is cm's call whether a prediction contest will be held.
