coan.net: I agree with you completely here... I am much more impressed by those who have a high winning percentage before someone who has 1,000 wins, but 3,000 loses... or even if they are even... :-)
BTW, BBW; 66% s good target, there are not very many that are able to maintain that, so good luck!
Andersp: Well with that, that will give them more loses then wins. I know myself, I'm always more impressed by people who have more wins then loses. I myself am shooting for a 66.6% win rate (win 2 out of every 3 games) - I'm currently at around 63% right now.
That is Statistics are just that - stats. Nothing to put too much stock into in my opinion.
Andersp: If you are talking about Snoopy, they are leaving the site for awhile and just letting their games time out. Even though that will add some finished games to their stats, he is not starting any new so people should be able to "pass" them soon enough
MadMonkey: last week the timeouts were turned on again and the timesof the game have been reset .. so it was like each opponnent made a move in each game at the same time .. if they werent online since then and the timeout per move were the same for those games then the timeout messages would arrive at the same time as well
Is auto save meant to work when replying using the "box" option?
I dont know how many times I have been in the middle of a long reply and the dog or whatever accidentally hits my mouse and changes pages on me and I can never figure out how to get that post back, its maddening
danheg: That wasn't a silly question, I think that Atomic and Extinction Chess are usually implemented in a way that you can't castle under or through check.
Nevertheless, the rules are much simpler to state when saying "no check or checkmate", hence probably the version that we are playing here (which does hurt my eye a little, but that is no big deal IMHO).
I am currently playing an atomic chess game with cd power and put him in check with my knight. He then CASTLES. I thought castling while in check is illegal according to the rules of chess. Is this a bug in the atomic chess program?
Binabik: Oh glory be, it's fixed, thanks again! My mouse broke, and I'm using the touch pad now and I frequently click on things I didn't intend to click on.....
I've tried to find it using the search function on this board, but was unsuccessful... I somehow messed up the way the games appear on my game list. I want the first games on the list to be the ones with the least time left. I think I may have clicked on the "games" title, with the little green arrow next to it, by accident. When I clicked it on again, it didn't correct the problem. I went to "settings" and changed the choice from ascending to descending and back again, and again clicking on the "games" title on the game list. Nothing seems to work the way I hoped... can someone help me please? Thanks!
pauloaguia: I know BUT i would like to know how Fencer is going to implement the site ones as there are a few ways to do it as you sort of mention in you second piece to Fencer. We can not add them to Stairs already created for some reason, and when we do create them what games do we include, but i guess thats our choice, will be hard actually to please everyone. I think by Random section will be best.
MadMonkey: You can already create RandomStairs. Just go to your random Team and click the Create new Stairs link.
Fencer: I was wondering - on already existing Stairs I can add games that aren't in those Stairs yet. I can't, however, add a RandomGame to an existing Stairs. Is this intentional or you just forgot?
Fencer: Are you going to set Random Stairs for the site ?
Just if you do i want to see how you are going to go about it so i can copy in the Madhouse (like to keep things the same)
I know we can choose how to set them, either by including all games, some of them, or maybe even by setting Random sections (Gammons, Chess etc...). Be interesting to see how you do it (if you do)
My video card on my computer went out lsat weekend, and I've pressed an old Win98 computer with 56k RAM into service. It's definitely NOT cutting edge, I don't think it's cutting anything except the ch......never mind. My machine sits in the corner waiting for my next check to come. I had been to my profile untold number of times this week looking for that link. It was NOT there.
When you wrote that the change password WAS still there, I was going to copy and paste the top of my profile page to paste in here and show you what was on the top of the page., Low and behold, it was there, but it was in camouflage. white on white. When I highlighted it, it showed up. Thanks rod, I learn something every day.
I need to change my password. It used to be on the profile page, but it's not there anymore. Can someone give me a clue as to where to search for this evasive link?
was it after the last crash that LindaJ had a tournament to raise money to assist Fencer with the costs?...and if so is anybody going to raise money again to help Fencer with the cost (Don't ask how much I had to pay for the data restoration)
