►► B I G · B A D Tournament! ◄◄ all games NOV 10 - This tournament was scheduled to start in September (and did start), but now is back in the list - so it is now scheduled to start on November 10th

Plus my "Fast Start - First 5 to sign up" - tournaments have started back up - I just continued with where I left off in September..... which will be interesting since there had already been some tournaments made, with a winner, and now gone! :-)

Subject: Just a suggestion to all
This site is going to be very busy for the next couple of weeks I would imagine. Fencer is working hard to restore games that have been lost. The ratings are skewed now, and this has the chance to permanently effect all subsequent games being rated.

Given this is the case, I think we should have a moritorium on the creation of new tournaments for a while. New tournaments means new games which means activity which means the website would be taxed.

How about we let Fencer just work on getting things as close to normal as possible without putting the extra load on the server?

Let 's take a 2 week break from creating new tournaments to let things stabilize a bit.

There are some people who created new accounts that were wiped out and they have not all come back yet.

I think I will scrap the 2003 championship and make a new one in January 2004.

Hi all, I had just started a tourny as part of the KM November sponsor a pawn campaign just before the crash. So here we go again, it would be nice to see the same players sign up. There were 20 before, so if we get more this time, the more the merrier :o)

LOL, shame on you Backoff! LOL

I disagree with peacepickle, NoMeansNo. That would limit you from meeting new players who could learn from your expertise. I enjoy playing higher rated players so I can learn from them.

...not the BK off-topic whiners convention.

NoMeansNo...If you want to limit your exposure to uncompetitive tournament schills, just enter tourneys which require a BKR of 1600 or above. That should filter out most of the problem players.

You have way more games going than you can handle! (see my posting on the message board).
You're holding back dozens of tourneys, at least 100 people! Think! DON'T sign up, DON'T start new games, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead, DO play the ones you already have going, I'm begging you!

Now just to let you know, NoMeansNo, in the only tournament we have together, I have no moves, it's the other persons move in EVERY game.

Subject: Just a quick note regarding the World Championship
As I reread the board here to review the individuals who voiced opinions that ultimately lead to the change in format for the tournament, I see that some of these same people have not yet joined the new event.

Now I would have thought those who were potentially excluded under the old setup would have been the first to join the new one!

sandra... 
i have a +25... +1 has been there for about 6 weeks... now i have another 24 appear! so it could be the same as pioneer54???

12. September 2003, 22:07:46
coan.net 
sometimes the "+XX" games gets stuck. (I had a +7 for about 2 weeks)

Once fencer reads the message, hopefully he will be able to fix that part up. (The +XX games actually count the tournaments which have "closed for signup" and waiting for the creator to start) .... and not the number of games you actually are signed up for.

Anyway, Fencer is on now - hopefully he will read this and fix it for you - or possible send Fencer a nice message and ask him to fix it.

Subject: I'm confused.... and a little PISSED!!!
Can anyone explain this? I was removed from a tournament (All Games-Mini Tourney\'s-5 Players Only-No 12 Snadné keryo pente) by a message saying I did not have enough game slots for all the tmts. that would be created by me, or something like that!? My game page shows 24+24, which is wrong. I do have 24 games in progress but the only tmts. I'm signed up for are:
--goodfoods atomic chess 9/13, 8 games;
--BBW's Corner chess, which will probably be cancelled since only two players have entered.

So I have just eight games pending, combined with 24 going; that is 32, which would still leave 18 open, but my page says I have just 2 open. What became of the other 16???

Subject: Re: proposal for a new form for games
no. if you have a 1 day game, you have an allocated 12 hours; the opponent too. if you wait until your last minute, you have one minute, the other guy 12 hours.

Subject: Re: proposal for a new form for games
What about to add a rule that each player must make a move within, say, 10 minutes after his opponent's last move?

12. September 2003, 11:56:38
Jason 
Subject: Re: proposal for a new form for games
you might get games that when a player is loosing that he waits untill the last possible minute to move his piece , unless the other player was online at the exact time he would loose the game

12. September 2003, 11:40:17
rabbitoid 
Subject: proposal for a new form for games
I have a proposal for another form of game which could be used in friendly games as well as for tournament games: instead of fixing the timeout as a certain number of days per move, fix a total timeout per game. this copies the usual system used for real-time games in chess, but if a sufficiently large time is chosen, is as good as correspondance games.

for example, a one-day game must finish within 24 hours. the first player to overstep the limit loses on time. this is as good as a realtime game.

a 60 days game is probably more than enough for an ordinary chess game. in a lot of positions you can answer fairly quickly, in others you like to take your time. it's up to the player then to manage the allowed time. you want to take a week to think about the first move? fine, but the rest of the game still has to fit into the allowed time.

some care must be taken to allow for time zones.

I think this form is particularly well adapted for tournaments. take, for example, the coming gothic tournaments. the proposed timeout is 7 days. it is dead certain that with the number of players which are going to participate in this, there'll be the professional snails who like to take their time up to deadline-1 minute. as I remember, Ed showed us recently a game of his that lasted
80 moves; such a game would take 560 days, more than a year and a half...
