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!

FINAL STANDINGS PREDICTIONS

< Earlier Kibitzing · PAGE 283 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Mar-24-24		Cassandro: I'll do my best: 1 Pragnanandhaa 2 Caruana 3 Nakamura 4 Firouzja 5 Gukesh 6 Nepomniachtchi 7 Vidit 8 Abasov

Mar-24-24		0ZeR0: Here goes nothing: 1. Nepomniachtchi 2. Praggnanandhaa 3. Caruana 4. Gukesh 5. Nakamura 6. Firouzja 7. Vidit 8. Abasov

Mar-24-24		paavoh: Hi all, great to meet you again! Completely forgot about TATA. Good luck! Here goes: 1. Caruana 1. Nepomniachtchi 3. Firouzja 4. Vidit 5. Nakamura 5. Gukesh 5. Praggnanandhaa 8. Gukesh 9. Abasov

Mar-25-24		VictorVonDoom: 1. Caruana 2. Nepomniatchi 3. Nakamura 4. Firouzja 5. Praggnanandhaa 6. Gukesh 7. Vidit 8. Abasov

Mar-26-24		Check It Out: I think Nakamura will see this as his opportunity to claim the throne now that whats-his-name is out of the picture: 1. Nakamura 1. Caruana 3. Pragg 4. Firouzja 4. Nepomniatchi 6. Vidit 6. Gukesh 8. Abasov

Mar-27-24		VictorVonDoom: <Messiah> I think Abasov will get at most 6th position I think. Perhaps it's a little overrated for him. But he did defeat Giri and Vidit

Mar-28-24		paavoh: I see that Magnus Carlsen has made a prediction. Could we insert it here as a comparison? Plus points for those who will beat Magnus, perhaps? Magnus's prediction: 1. Fabiano 1. Hikaru 3. Nepo 4. Alireza 4. Pragg 6. Gukesh 6. Vidit 8. Abasov

Mar-28-24		Schwartz: Here is my guess: 1. Nepo 2. Alireza 3. Fabiano 3. Hikaru 3. Gukesh 6. Vidit 6. Pragg 8. Abasov

Mar-28-24		Teyss: Hi lostemperor, Thanks for hosting this. Here goes nothing: 1. Caruana 2. Nakamura 3. Nepomniachtchi 4. Vidit 5. Praggnanandhaa 6. Gukesh 7. Firouzja 8. Abasov

Mar-29-24		blade2012: Here is my prediction: 1. Praggnanandhaa 2. Caruana 2. Nakamura 2. Nepomniachtchi 5. Firouzja 5. Gukesh 7. Vidit 8. Abasov

Mar-29-24		blade2012: < paavoh: Hi all, great to meet you again! Completely forgot about TATA. Good luck! Here goes: 1. Caruana 1. Nepomniachtchi 3. Firouzja 4. Vidit 5. Nakamura 5. Gukesh 5. Praggnanandhaa 8. Gukesh 9. Abasov> Two Gukesh here

Mar-29-24		VictorVonDoom: Yay, my prediction was almost the same as Carlsen's although I still think Nepo will place above Hikaru

Mar-30-24		Teyss: Hi lostemperor, Sorry, submitted it a bit fast this week, here is a correction. You can delete the previous post to avoid confusion if you want. 1. Caruana 2. Nakamura 3. Nepomniachtchi 4. Gukesh 5. Vidit 6. Praggnanandhaa 7. Firouzja 8. Abasov

Mar-30-24		Messiah: <blade2012: Two Gukesh here> Not a surprise: he is grossly underrated.

Mar-31-24		offramp: BTW, I am running a YES/NO prediction contest. 10 questions. offramp chessforum (kibitz #1636) The first prize is 50 stotinki (лв50).

Mar-31-24		paavoh: Sorry <lostemperor> for my mistaken prediction with two Gukesh - and thanks <blade2012> for the alert! It should be: 1. Caruana 1. Nepomniachtchi 3. Firouzja 4. Vidit 5. Nakamura 5. Praggnanandhaa 7. Gukesh 8. Abasov

Apr-02-24		Penguincw: I think I said I'm going upside-down. 1. Vidit 2. Gukesh 3. Praggnanandhaa 4. Abasov 5. Nakamura 6. Nepomniachtchi 7. Firouzja 8. Caruana

Apr-03-24		whiteshark: 1. Caruana 2. Nakamura 2. Nepomniachtchi 4. Firouzja 5. Praggnanandhaa 5. Gukesh 7. Vidit 8. Abasov

Apr-03-24		jsy: 1. Nakamura 2. Nepomniachtchi 3. Caruana 4. Gukesh 5. Firouzja 6. Praggnanandhaa 7. Abasov 8. Vidit

Apr-04-24		OhioChessFan: 1. Firouzja 2. Caruana 2. Nepomniachtchi 4. Nakamura 5. Praggnanandhaa 6. Gukesh 7. Vidit 7. Abasov

Apr-04-24		Aurora: 1. Nepomniachtchi 2. Firouzja 3. Praggnanandhaa 4. Caruana 5. Nakamura 6. Abasov 7. Gukesh 8. Vidit All the best for all participants!

Apr-04-24		whiteshark: Caruana said he doesn’t feel the pressure from the fact that he’s the rating favourite of the event. <"We know that every player here can potentially win the tournament if they bring their best game. The numbers say something about the past performances, but I think it will be a mistake to take any of the players lightly."> https://en.chessbase.com/post/fide-...

Apr-04-24		whiteshark: the games have started

Apr-04-24		EvanTheTerrible: Good luck everyone.

Apr-16-24		lostemperor: lostemperor: Hi guys I missed the Candidates' tournament but will process the predictions here at the end
