Summertop: you played a 2 game match: you lost one game and drew another, so overall you lost the match

BKR changes are calculated for the match as a whole and not for every individual game

Subject: Chess ratings...

Modified by Summertop (21. August 2008, 23:18:20)

OK, I'm surprised...I accepted a "draw" offer from an opponent not expecting my rating to drop. It did. I'm hoping someone can tell me why?

Game: Chess (Summertop vs. petrchy)

Note: Opponent's rating was 2075 (over 100 games, so it was established).
My rating was 1729

I have been getting it for the last few weeks now

Is it me, the site or something else causing it ?

Would it be possible Fencer to allow U-Tube(and others where possible) embeds on the World of Sport board ?

There is some great stuff going on at the Olympics at present, and would be great to be able to show others interested

In light of the latest blog submission, I am curious if there are more people with administrative access than just Fencer and Liquid?

With Fencer away on holiday, it seems like a lot of responsibility for just one person to handle?

If there are others, could the list be updated please?

Subject: Multinicks

How is the current policy on multi nicks? There is a player that is losing games to another player with nearly exactly the same nick name and with exactly the same "real name" - and then the losing account is playing against other players in public tournaments. Will they be banned?

Are others able to see the latest blog entry at brainking.info? When I go there, I just have the titile of the article at the top, and the rest of the page (where the article would normally be) is blank. (The normal stuff is on the right hand side)

Also, never there before, at the top is a box to enter a password. I logged in to the site, and still see no article.

Just wondering if it's just me. And if it IS just me, what can I do to see the article?

MadMonkey: hate to rain on your parade there boasting about the up time of the site. But uptime is meaningless if you cannot move because all you get is waiting for page to load, and big white screens because you cannot move

Restart the browser
Restart the computer

Try do a "hard" refresh (hold down CTRL key & hit F5) or (hold down SHIFT key & hit F5) - this will make the browser refresh everything.

Clear out the browser cache (usually under Tools, option)
