I've just quicky implemented the auto-repairing code. If you find a similar problem with other games, just try to click on them.

1. February 2003, 14:06:45

Try them now.

I'm having the same problem. Game #24407. I took my turn, but it's still showing up as my turn, when actually it's my opponent's turn.

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

I think you are correct, Mike UK. If there is no man on the bar, the count appears to be correct.

Subject: time out..

i timed out on game #23090 and also see one of my opponets ran out of time on another where timed out games fixed when the site got back up?..

Mike UK

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

The problem is always when there is a man on the bar - he seems to be counted twice giving a count 25 too high.

29. January 2003, 14:54:45

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

I think that I use the same rules. I'll check it out.

29. January 2003, 14:53:48

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

Well, what I do is count the number of dice pips, needed to bear off a stone. So black has three stones on 3; therefore, a count of 9. Every stone on the bar I count as 25; and that's basically it. Would welcome other BG players to comment.

29. January 2003, 14:44:04

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

tonyh: It is possible that I don't count it correctly because I don't know the calculation method. Could you explain it to me please?

29. January 2003, 12:04:52

Subject: Counting squares remaining in BG

Fencer, please would you tell us how you calculate remaining squares. For example, in game 24026 (tonyh v MadMonkey), after move 14 pass, I reckon that Black's total = 105. Your total is 130.

29. January 2003, 11:49:54

How does it choose what the next game u move on is ?? Mine seems to be which ever one has been waiting the longest. Is there any way to set it so it follows how our main list is set e.g. the shortest time next. :-)

Subject: Re: Notes

I haven't played Dark Chess on this site, but what i've found with the notes is that they appear underneath the game board, and if you type in new notes, it adds them beneath the old notes (doesn't replace)

Subject: Problem with Dark Chess

Fencer, in 2 of my games, my opponents pieces were not visible on squares where they should have been. I have gone back to those games, and they are now there. Unfortunately, too late in one.

Subject: Notes

I want to use Notes in my Dark Chess games, to keep a record of my opponents' pieces. But the notes seem to disappear on my next move. How do they work?

Subject: a funny thing happened

i typed a message to my opponent..in the right box...asking about her family...we are playing checkers.
She replied with " oh yes that was a stupid move"..when I checked to see what she was answering to there was a "?" i didnt type that.
Is this site so clever it can query an opponents move??????

Subject: Let's pose this Question differently

I played an opponent close to my level or ( BkR let's say) and got 30 points upon winning. This was a normal game.So, had it been a 5 games match or wins or points,I would have gotten only 30 points for playing all 5 games versus playing normal games with the same opponent and getting 150???

Subject: Re: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

Yes. A 5 wins match keeps starting games until someone wins 5 of them.

Thy come to be
for us to see
to watch and to enjoy

Thy shine your light
o´er mountains, trees and snow
o´er running waters down below

Thy is bright; spread your wings
by waves in North and South
leaving the earthly things with open mouth

Colors in the darkest sky
Thy
may it be
forever free..
