speaking of abusing the "system" how goes the new server update"bk3.9999" that a YEAR ago was 60% ?

Subject: Re: website outage?
thisbeme: Over ten minutes as happened in the past? You don't say. For your information, BrainKing suspends the time only if it is down for more than 1 hour, as it always happened in the past. If you spend more time reading server news and less time abusing the system by starting several thousand games and then letting your membership expired, you would probably know that.

Purple:
Pedestrian's post below explains the principle very nicely.
Draughts often can allow a move to be completed in 2 clicks, 1 click to move and 1 for the confirmation "move" button. If a piece only has one possible move then clicking on that piece will automatically move it to the only possible square.

Subject: Re:
Ladybird68: Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, if you are going for such a record, make sure you know when the server day starts and ends.

The moves per day record is not based on the time zone you have your BK clock set to; it is based on BK time.

P.S. This advice doesn't matter to those who live in Fencer's time zone....

Some gammon games have autopass, Which I believe are are counted at moves towards your total, so you get a potential boost if you are stuck on the bar and have a fast opponent!

Subject: Re:
pedestrian: Thanks i figured it would be between 200-300 ludo games. It's a shame you have no time at the moment, when you aim for your achievement let me know and ill have a few games with you.

I will likely play mostly ludo games, as i actually enjoy the game anyway, so it is a logical choice.

I see what you mean about having a few players too, but i guess you need one other player who will hit back the majority of the day.

Hopefully somebody will fancy it this week as i am off work!

Ladybird68:

Don't visit forum, check message or respond to in games messages when going for the record,
Gammon games with autopass and the right opponents can do wonders!
Checkers has a low click per move ratio if you click the piece with one legal move.
Double every gammon game with the cube at the start it stops you getting asked to roll the dice each time.
Ludo is naturally a good candidate.
Mancala as a silly game that is won for the starter, so no need to be concerned if you lose.
Horde chess another unbalanced game that doesn't need much thinking.
Pahtum another game needs little thinking!
Any game that is hopelessly lost, politeness would say resign, but these are perfect for the goal of most move in a day and a bonus you get to really annoy your opponent should they timeout! If achievement for most moves exist sthen not resigning is understandable that they will be used because they can't messed up so no disappointment for losing a game that is lost.
Although there is someone who plays and has all the most move achievement always plays until mate, is just insulting.
Dice poker if you preroll your dice and don't move, instead save the games until you are making your attempt and you have a move that can be made quickly.
Don't mind that stupid errors will be made, at the speed necessary to complete 10,000moves!
If you have a rating you care about don't use that as a game to attempt the record with!

Ladybird68: speaking has a person who has broken the 10000 moves in a day twice

ludo is the best but also you can do any of the line games to

Subject: Re:
Ladybird68: You can play any game without thinking if you put your mind to it  The main point of playing ludo for these record attempts is the low click-per-move ratio: You click the piece you want to move, then you click the move button; and sometimes when you can't make a move, you only have to click the move button. That means you have an average click-per-move ratio below 2, while most other games typically require 3 clicks per move.

I think the average length of a ludo game is slightly more than 50 moves, so 200 games of ludo should do. Make sure to be playing a lot of games at any time so that if one of you needs a short break, the other will still have moves to play. It's also a good idea to have several more opponents lined up on the side in case one of you needs a longer break.

I'd love to attempt 10,000 some day, but I won't have time for it anytime soon.

Hi, i'm wanting to attempt the 10,000 moves in a day challenge also. Is there anybody that wants to try within the next few days to hit back and forth. I guess ludo is the best option like most of the other players that have tried it, as it requires less thought.

Please let me know!

Also anyone that is good at maths, how many ludo games roughly would you need to make the achievement. (Not sure how long the average ludo game takes)
