    Table after round 5 so. Of those who've posted their own scores after round 5, I only have a different tally for EnPassant (I have 23, not 19, which I'm sure you'll be quick to challenge :) ) and ishidaogo (agreed with 9 points coming into the round, but I only have you getting 1 point for Tim McCarthy's win today?)

    Again though, feel free to point out where I'm wrong! And welcome to butchpotato, who missed the first four rounds yet still jumps straight in ahead of two players.

    While I get the round 6 table together, here's the round 7 draw to digest.

    I'm going to go with wins for Cafolla, S Murphy and a draw for Fox


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,265 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Tight at the top now! Unfortunately no predictions from Rathminor this round, but it was the lowest-scoring round to date, so you've not missed much.

    I don't follow your count. In the first round I predicted two draws for 6 points and my other failed but wasn't a landmine. I have never been negative. Please recheck.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭Tim Harding


    Tim (9 if my count is right.)
    Yesterday I said I had 5 including the bonus point I awarded myself for doing what sodacat told me instead of making a proper third prediction.

    In Rd 7 I get 3 for the Fox draw and 1 for Trisha's win, nothing for Carroll's loss to a higher-rated opponent.
    (If I had known he would come dressed as a penguin for a cousin's wedding and blitz out a loss, I would have picked a different game. Maybe I should get a bonus point there too.

    Rd 8:
    O'Connor win
    Murray win
    Baburin draw

    It wouldn't be fair to pick Tony Fox again, but he is threatening my 2015 "record" of 7 draws, 1 win and 1 loss.
    Would 8 draws out of 9 be a first for the Irish Championship?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭Tim Harding


    Cafolla win
    Flynn win

    Oh ye of little faith.

    Five tipsters (including the man himself) predicted me to lose today (and one to draw).

    Pick on someone else in the remaining rounds please.

    No. Tony Dennehy +1 =8 -0 in 1973.

    Maybe they knew we'd played three times before when i was in the whole of my health and all you'd got was half a point even though you were white in every game. Enjoy your gloating for now, there will be other days.

    So this is how I make the standings after round 7 - tighter than a Tony Fox endgame.

    I see Tim has a challenge in on his points tally and I'll check that after I update for round 8. Or in the meantime, I've provided scores by prediction if you can spot it yourself on the tables!

    Tarun v Trisha DRAW

    Tony Fox also to draw and equal Tony Dennehy's record (except with -1 instead of +1).

    Round 8 scores - and we've as many missed predictions as Gerry O'Connell has hanging pieces...including three of the top 4...including me!!! :eek:

    Shane takes a surely unassailable lead at the top. If he correctly predicts Jacob to win, that'd about do it - is this competition worth the integrity of the Irish though? :)

    Awaiting recount on my running total
    So I've had a look at your post - and you're basically asking me to go all the way back to the start! I can't do that in all fairness; I've been posting the scores all the way through so people can promptly challenge.

    I agree with your round 1 score of 6. You posted a score of 1 after rounds 2 and 3, and I agree with that.

    However, in round 4, you claimed a score of 3, but you missed that Lyons-Cafolla to draw was a landmine worth -3 (Lyons won), and in round 5 you hit a landmine in predicting Cafolla to win, but he lost to Flynn (2 points the lower-rated player)

    That's 9 points deducted, and I think where the difference is?
