<FINAL STANDINGS PREDICTION GAME FORUM>
Predict the final standings of tournaments.
8 years ago kibitzers started predicting the final outcome of a tournament on the tournament page. I then developed a simple but brand new system to calculate all standings of the tournament participants into a prediction ranking.
In progress: Norway tournament May 7
http://norwaychess.com/en/supertour...
Here an example on how to post your predictions:
1. Carlsen
2. Aronian
3. Radjabov
4. Anand
4. Karjakin
6. Topalov
6. Nakamura
6. Svidler
6. Hao
10. Hammer
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. This is invented by YouRang
There are virtual-contestants <ELO>, the rating order and <CHESSBOOKIE>, the Chess Bookie game odds order here.
The three best predictions will get Real Virtual Gold Silver and Bronze!
Special thanks to <YouRang> who made a software to calculate these numbers. Don't miss his YouRang chessforum game results prediction contest during the tournament also ([1-0], [1/2], [0-1])!
From a medalist there.
(and counting ;))

May-14-13		lostemperor: The two local players won yesterday. I have followed those two decisive games live. Karjakin got overconfident against Carlsen and played for the win what is the correct attitude. It was dangerous however when he puts his king on the diagonal of black's queen and bishop. After that it was all forced downhill for Karjakin according to the world's record rating holder Carlsen himself. Hammer - Wang was a Zeitnot duel, where both made mistakes. Hammer had mostly the better of the game and won. I expected a win for either black or white. In the Prediction Game <Golden Executive> has still kept the lead from day one! He got company though from <Diademas> in the absolute ranker. <SwitchingQuylthulg> is leading the prestigious daily exchange rate of the pair betting by several nice bets so far.

May-15-13		lostemperor: I recently found out that one of the commentators in Norway is the Dutch Dirk jan ten Geuzendam. Not a GM but a chess interviewer. He did look familiar to me. With GM Simen Agdestein, also called the Norwegian answer to Nigel Short when a young chess player. The comments London of Short is better and deeper though than in Norway:) Also I am glad to know, from hearing the commentators, that the main language in Norway is English! ;)
