Where is the link to predict the games? My email just sends me to the registration page...

It appears to be a browser issue. I still use the antiquated Netscape browser which shows the "register" link and not the "View/enter predictions" link.

Maybe if you refresh the page it will show up? Perhaps you are seeing a cached version.

When do we find out who won the prediction on yesterday's game? Suspense is good during the game, but after the fact it would be kind of interesting to see the exact list of move predictions in order to analyze the distribution. I'm curious whether the distribution of predictions mirrors the actual distribution of HvH game lengths.

I got the Chessandgo vs Woh game exactly right, but I changed my move count yesterday, so if anyone had the same result/move count, they likely won for entering it first.
I had Adanac in 37, not the closest, and 99of9 in 55 - probably not the closest.

You're obviously all wimps  . Arimaa_master and I were already laughing at your predictions by move 17. When we got to the predicted average of 47, we had traded exactly one rabbit, so we figured the game would be approximately 47*8 moves long. At about that point arimaa_master started playing for score, given the imminent timeout of the game. I realised this a little too late, but made up for it with some ingenious rabbit carelessness, but I'm glad we didn't quite make it to the time limit, because he is much better at maximising his score than I am.

The scores are a left over from last year's spectator contest. They aren't relevant in this year's contest. But if you're interested you can find the details here.

Sorry for the delay in displaying the scores and winners for the prediction contest. I finished it up this morning. Let me know if there is any problem. Thanks.
