It seems to me that he is progressing pawns to become kings which would also suggest to me progress is being made, no matter how small as GI stated.

Another question is, has the 40 move rule been called for officially? What happens if the opponent never reads these boards? The only way it should be called for is to have Fencer or someone notify the opponent that it has been called for. I wonder if this has officially happened yet? Even if it has, pawns progressing towards crowning in my opinion should be considered "showing progress"

I'm playing against someone that is rated 600 points higher than me and they can't figure it out? I figured out how I could have won in 3 moves, 10 moves ago. Why in that case would I resign the game? GI, you are good in checkers, what's your take on the game?

Black is one move away from trading down for the win. I have seen people struggle a long long time figuring out 3/2 kings opposite double corners but eventually they stumble on to it.

Visit this site American Checkers Federation Website.

It is listed there.

I see nowhere where it says "40 moves with no capture = draw"
Please tell me where this rule can "officially" be found.

On another note, have you done the gentlemanly thing yet and resigned that game or are you still clinging on to the hope someone with the power will end the match a draw for you?

LJ, you sure have alot to say for someone who has only played 2 checkers games on this site. The main purpose of my post was to find out what (if any) is the draw rules for checkers. I have noe found out it was 40 moves with no capture. Is there anything else you would like to add?

What is even worse is that you have taken it to the boards to try and have others on your side in trying to have Fencer declare it a draw. This shows a complete desperation in coming out of the game without a loss.
Eat it up and resign.

Onderwerp: Re:
I think that is irrelevant.
You know full well you are in a position of certain loss.
If your opponent wishes to crown more kings before he finishes you off, so be it, he is simply wasting time.

You, on the other hand, should resign. That is the only proper thing to do and maybe your opponent is giving you this chance to be a gentleman.

Black has the overwhelming advantage but apparently is unaware how to finish. If 20 moves are made without variation Fencer may declare it a draw.

(Here ) Should this game be called a draw, a piece hasn't been captured in 20+ moves.

In case you have not noticed. Everyone has been given a clear slate at ths point in time. Dano was warned about his posts, which were unwarranted, and now he is gone.

He keeps making mention of manipulated posts. I am not sure what he means by that. I occasionally make typo corrections or punctuation changes at the tournament board, if this is manipulation, so be it.

Yes, I posted that I would help everyone playing Dano in Gothic Chess to win. I was letting off steam, but I really meant it when I said it. Logistically, does anyone really believe this was possible? In fact, nobody took me up on my offer, as those who were members of the fellowship recall. They all wanted to try and give him a drubbing by their own hands, win, lose, or draw.

I posted it mostly because I knew it would agitate dano when it leaked, so the spies helped me immensely, and I thank you for it.

It was an impossible task to do (play every move for every opponent against dano) but knowing the way his paranoia is manifest, I knew it would send him over the deep end.

So what had I actually done?

I made a post, then took no action on it. How many times a day do we each do similar things? You see a beautiful woman walking down the street, do you think "I wonder if she likes doing Crossword Puzzles?" If you see an armored car making a cash pickup at a store, do you think "I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets?"

No, we have fleeting thoughts about getting her in the sack, and tossing bags of money into the back seat and peeling off down the road. (Or maybe peeling off down the road with the girl in the back seat, and sleeping with the bags of money, whatever you prefer!)

The point being my previous fellowship was created for those to let off steam about dano, much as this one is most likely geared at letting steam off about me.

But does anyone really think I crashed the server just so dano, who won his section in the $3000 Gothic tournament, would not be able to continue on? Did he really think I was making all of those moves against him and he kept beating me game after game?

Folks, you have to face the fact that he was at least a little off his rocker. If nothing else, this must be conceeded.

The server crashed. That's all that happened.

A new policy is in place. It is one we can all live with. When I make a post about how the 4 kings in the deck of cards are not really modeled after those in antiquity that have permeated the culture, then someone calls me a prick for doing so, a line has been crossed. It was uncalled for.

Even now, I could of had this person banned, but I elected not to do so.

No more warnings will ever be issued, as the policy is any direct insult, in a private or public forum, will result in an immediate banning.

If it cannot be discussed without name calling, do us all a favor, and save yourself some keystrokes.

If you have read the hidden message I placed in this post, you know which 4 people will be banned next because they will most likely make snide remarks about this post. This is what I am hoping for. This is the bait

I'm not in their living rooms but they lose games and that is the tip off. Free ones? You have my attention. But I don't think the teaching programs are webtv compatible. Even the top KM players make mistakes no program would make so I am taking their word for it. Some have up to 40 years experience which accounts for their expertise.

The KM doesn't have programs that I know of but we have very skilled players who enjoy working on this kind of thing. It has been hard to get up the energy to set up a checker board with all the stuff that has been going on but when the smoke clears I am hopeful it will be back to checkers for us all. That's why so many of us came here. (not putting down chess buffs) LOL

To what purpose? The game looked like a draw but after analyzing we saw you were right. It proves positions can be set up but is not a test of skill level. And we didn't know the answer in advance.
