And now…
Live from New York…
It’s the Ultimate Game Show…
With your
Master of Ceremonies…
Elenin
Elenin: Thank you. Thank you.
And welcome to our show.
Chess.com audiences
are the greatest audiences
in the world!!
The Ultimate GameShow and the Adventures of Elenin 2.0
Sort:
Elenin: Every week...
Contestants from
around the globe
will try to guess
the answer to
the BIG question...
ENKI: And what IS
the BIG question,
Elenin?
Elenin: Ladies and gentlemen...
That’s my announcer
ENKI.
Now...
Let’s find out
what that question is...
and play...
The Ultimate Game Show
To become a contestant
on our show
is easy!!!
All you have to do is...
drum roll please...
guess the
DIRECTION...
(UP or DOWN)
and the
AMOUNT of CHANGE
of the STOCK market
(Dow Jones)
for this coming week.
We start the game
from where the DOW closed
last Friday night...
at 17,512.
The WINNER
will be determined
at the market close
this coming Friday.
To play and have a chance
to win...
make your guess
in blocks of 50.
For example...one guess could be...
UP 500 to 550
Another guess could be
DOWN 425 to 475
Pretty simple...
Just remember that you can’t
choose numbers
that have already
been chosen by
somebody else.
And if you win...
You will receive
a fantastic prize.
down 125-175
How the Winner’s
FINAL SCORE
is Determined:
Think of the scoring in this game
as you would playing darts
on a dart board…
same principle.
For example…
If you are the WINNER…THEN…
the closer the actual FINAL on Friday is
to the exact MIDDLE of your numbers
(the BULLSEYE)
the BETTER your score.
100,000 is awarded to any player who predicts
the actual market close on Friday
within plus/minus 5 of MIDPOINT
of the player’s chosen numbers.
50,000 is awarded to any player who
predicts the actual market close on Friday
within plus/minus 6-20 of MIDPOINT
of the player’s chosen numbers.
25,000 is awarded to any player who
predicts the actual market close on Friday
within plus/minus 21-25 of MIDPOINT
of the player’s chosen numbers.
10,000 is awarded to any player who predicts
the actual market close on Friday
OUTSIDE of the player’s chosen numbers…
but is still CLOSEST to the correct FINAL result.
And finally…
5,000 is awarded to all other players
who correctly predict
the DIRECTION (UP/DOWN)
(Please Note: Grand Prize Winner is NOT eligible
for the 5,000 prize)
That would be double-dipping!
Award totals are carried
over week to week
for determining…
The
Grand
Champion
of
the
Month.
And now...
once again…
here’s our announcer...
ENKI...
to tell you about
those amazing awards.
ENKI: That’s right, Elenin.
All Winnings have
Cash Value
Payable in the equivalent
of the
Weimar Republic’s
German Marks
of 1923
to put it in perspective…
in 1923…
a loaf of bread
cost 100 Billion Marks
Now...
back to you, Elenin
Elenin:
ok...no more rules!

already in progress.
May the odds be forever
in your inside-trader favor.

Sorry...your previous entry of DOWN 76-126 is already official.
Only ONE guess per contestant...and that guess is irreversible.
And we welcome
two of our very first contestants...
RJC and Connor to the show!
Ok... can the numbers cross over? E.g. 25-75 and 30-80?
BTW; I taught that muskrat how to play drums
Since he's playing a paradiddle at 300 BPM, THAT'S his prediction. The market will be up by 300 points at the close this Friday
Welcome…
we’re glad you’re here!
