Subject: Re: NTL
I checked to see if this was a "regional" NTL problem but unfortunately it does appear to be a incompatability issue with regards to our new software. (Liberate 1.2) - It would be good to know if any non updated users are experiencing these "glitches". ??? - Sorry i cannot be of more help. :( ---- (Edit)- If u r using settings set to row then try column. (It has worked 4 me)

Subject: little bug in short chess notation
the program does not know about ambiguous moves
if 2 pieces can move to the same square, the move must be noted with coloumn or line number. for example (english short notation), if white has rooks on f1 and d1, a rook move to e1 must be noted Rfe1 or Rde1, not Re1.

About NTL, I'll try to do what I can. The problem is that I cannot test it myself so any help will be appreciated.

Subject: Re: how to find a player
PattyMelt: All registered players are in the Player List. The problem is that the list is sorted by their first login time, not alphabetically, so maybe you've just overlooked your name. I'll add more sorting and searching options later.

This is the biggest board i've seen , is there a way to make it smaller or creation of a smaller one like there is in the reversi??? :)

Maybe smaller squares of the five in line board could help. Or should I create a variation with a smaller board, say 15x15?

After how many games do you get rated? Uil

AuroraBorealis 
Subject: Re: BKR
Uil..from the FAQ:

What is BKR and how is it calculated?
BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.

Subject: Hide message archive
For everybody who requested this feature: Now it is possible to turn the game message archive [displayed under game boards] off. It could be useful for users who suffer of too long game pages when the conversation "very live" ;-)

Is it possible (and if so, how ?) to turn off the email notification when it's my turn to move in a game ? I find all those emails very annoying.

19. November 2002, 14:47:07
Niki 
Subject: Re: email notification
If you go to your settings page, down at the bottom there is a box to check to say if you want email notification or not. That should stop the emails :)

Subject: Ratings ??
I know I've queried it before .. and yes, I have read how the ratings work .. but I'm still confused !! How can someone only have played 4 games, against a low rated player, yet still have a really high BKR ?
I'm not jealous .. honest .. just don't get it ?? :0)

why can't i post games in the waiting room.im on ntldtv

20. November 2002, 09:27:52
Fencer 
Subject: Re: Ratings ??
Niki: If the player finishes only 4 games, the rating does not show his/her "real" rating because the formula is based on too few numbers. The rating should be more exact after finishing 20 games or more.

20. November 2002, 09:28:49
Fencer 
Subject: Re: 2 players on one e-mail address
Uil: Yes, it is allowed :-)

20. November 2002, 09:31:12
Fencer 
Subject: Re: ratings
BOMBER: Because in your game with Silkwood you [or the opponent] did not perform the first move. Both players must do at least one move to make the game rated. For more about ratings, please see FAQ page.

20. November 2002, 09:32:28
Fencer 
Subject: Re: another ?
Eddie: Only the whole match result is counted for your statistics and BKR. Maybe I should improve the messages to make it more clear, otherwise it could be confusing, what do you think?

20. November 2002, 09:33:13
Fencer 
And there is a line about it at FAQ page.

Subject: Re: waiting room games
When u have chosen your game options & clicked send does a new page appear telling u that the game has been placed into the waiting room.? - If it does then click Main Page to see if its listed. Do u know that any games that u place in the Waiting room will not be visible to u when viewing the WR page.? :)

Subject: Re: waiting room games
I found that out the hard way.. i added games and wondered why they didnt show up in the waiting room.. then I found them at the bottom of my game sheet screen

Subject: Re: waiting room games
Oops, my fault. I will add better description and FAQ entry for this subject. Basically, the Waiting Games page contains only the invitations you can accept. That's why there are no invitations you have created.
