Subject: fast Hyper Games
New games in waiting room for 1700+ Hyper Backgammon. Fast players only please. All welcome

This time I am trying 0.8/0.8/2 so fast players can still build up a 2 day buffer. (not that it is needed in hyper anyway)

Gmail takes a bit of getting used to but it is quite quick and has some cool features

BIG BAD WOLF: as chuck said, his game was about 2 hours and he was well and truly over his time limit. The script definately did not pick it up until more than 5 or 10 minutes

Czuch Chuckers: yes I know it is correct and wasn't asking, I was just explaining it for others who may not understand the format.
I think I set the games open to 1700+ bkr

Time Limit 1/0.12/2
That means you start with 1 day and get a bonus 12 hours every time you make a move and can build up a maximum time left of 2 days.

Subject: Re:
Czuch Chuckers: but my point here is it kinda makes the strict time limit pointless for a need so exacting suck as a 1 hour game

I'll stick to my new lightning games.

Very unusual steps on his part to put me on enemies list though

Subject: message to landslide
I am not sure why you put me on your blocked user list?
I recently accepted 2 games in the waiting room of yours, one white and one black, but now you put me on your enemy list? The games aren't even finished although I am looking like I am in the stronger position.

Subject: 12 hour games of Hyper for 1700 +
try and match wits on a 12 hour time limit if you are game !!!

Subject: Re: cube question
Hrqls: the simple answer of 30% would be something along the lines of
*Needing to win 2 in a row games outright = 25%
*Increase this a bit due to the chance of a gammon or backgammon in the first game therefore not necessitating the play in the 2nd game hence an approximate 5% increase

I have no program for backgammon to work this out but I think this is a good approximation using the rule of thumb

Subject: Opinions Please on Hypergammon
http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=894030
In this game, my last roll was a 4-2. I chose to move 11-7 which then negated the opportunity to move the 2 hence staying safe and I pointed this out to my opponent. If this was a game of real backgammon following the international rules, I would have had to move 7-3 then either 11-9 or 3-1 (probably 3-1 was the best option)

Does anyone have an opinion on what should be done in this situation? Is this a bug or simply a different rule that is allowable in the game of Hyper?

Thanks

I have some games in the waiting room +1700 if anyone would like to play 1 day limit games

Subject: Re: time for moves
Chessmaster1000: the weekends should not count as in this case the rule of "no days off" has been set which should also exclude weekend days
http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=886923
That was my understanding. This is different to the other option where you can select weekend days off only as denoted by the green dots

Subject: time for moves
I have a few games going of hyper where I set 1 day limit with no time off and the time left still shows as almost 3 days. I Think something is not working right

alanback: thats only 4.769 points per game average which makes sense with a max of 8 for you alanback.
Very good going and a well deserved #1 spot I say

redsales:what gets me is I have my last game against chessmaster in a tourney I am about to be finished with and he has already viewed the game, cannot move and yet refused to click send.
The only way I can see his next dice is if he has been there.
Very poor sportsmanship delibverately stalling like that.

rod03801: I agree with you Rod and I am sure that is what James meant.
They have proven beyond any doubt that it is pointless keeping track of the longest game. I mean, if you can shatter the record on only the very first attempt, that proves it right ?

Subject: Interesting Resignation
In looking at some of the top ranked players , I noticed claifornia girl had only played 4 games.
Having such a high rating isn't so abnormal, yet it makes one stop and think something fishy is going on when they receive a resignation such as this.
