Hrqls: I am glad your boy is well again. Regarding that poster "lost in translation" comes to mind.

computeropponen: could you please reply to a message using the "box" link next to the "reply: link underneath a message? that way anyone reading your posts can click on "show thread" to follow the topic itself and we dont have to dig other posts which belong to another thread ...

computeropponen: sorry, i dont understand your question? i am just a mod on the brainking.com board (and the dutch board), nowhere else .. if you want to discuss the way a board is being moderated please discuss it with the moderator of that specific board

i am just an ordinary player on this board

the discussion i saw from you on this board though wasnt about moderating but about possible cheating and ratings and chess, not about the moderating :)

fyi: the picture is my son who was seriously ill, but is ok now (6 monthly medical checkup the following years), but that talk doesnt belong on this board :)

(forgot about 2 other boards, i am also a mod on the books and the jarmo boards)

Hrqls: i did not know you are the Moderator of other discuss board until i post on the brainking discuss. it is good for me to discuss with the guy watch the board.
i don't like your yellow picture, but i like to discuss my thought abt this site openly with a moderator.

What's the matter with team tournaments? Only one to people join? It's a misery.

Quick start Tourney  would like to get more players please

MadMonkey:
my topic to discuss is: you should play a stronger player to improve yourself. don't pick the weak one just for winning and get BKR point.
ok. thanks for your advise. this is my last post. no more....

computeropponen: Can you keep this board for Tournament advertising & discussion please.

Feel free to talk about Chess on the relevant Chess Board

Thanks

Fide Women's World champion, 19-year-old GM Hou Yifan of china won the champion covincingly.
her rating 2609 higher than her opponent's 2500.
the most important is she has played in tournament of men's group,her middle and end game skill is stronger.

Retep:
i don't know some one cheating on chess, in my opinion @ this site there are only suspects, no one is proved a cheater.
for an ordinary chess player, there are something you can learn by playing here, if you don't care abt win or lose.
for a serious player you will pick up the bad habit, the time trouble. because it is not the right way to play in the real game

computeropponen: Before Brainking I only played ordinary chess, too. You could try some variants. I don't play ordinary chess online because of the cheating

Retep:
at the high level of chess tournament so many games are decided by who can play under time pressure.
you have to move fast, think fast, find the correct move in a short time.
sorry i just talk about chess, or chinese chess.
i don't know anything beside these two.
so i don't have hundreds or thousands games to play

computeropponen: Some people have hundreds or even thousands of games and always use the full time limit.. some others move very fast.. I'm an average player with 200+ games and quite some moves every day

the game i play black, i made a mistake for moving quickly. i beat him at last because he played the way i wanted to move fast. he finally blunder under time pressure.
people move very very slowly to make me sick. i lost interest and the game.
i'm sick of people seeing my move and logout, again and again and again....

The Col:
i am lucky to beat maho two games.
how about i trade the BKR points for your commission.

computeropponen: Sorry, I only work on commision

The Col: yes, how much?

computeropponen: good enough to buy a membership?

bk.com is the top no.1 for serious player to play chess

this is the best site in the world

Quick start Tourney   small tourney all game types

ses borec co to ma co spolecneho s turnajama ?

computeropponen:
now i'm playing with this guy Volkov BKR 1866, I found out that he is a weak player,he does not know how to play the chinese chess.
in a real chinese chess world, a 18xx is a expert...

iv2:
good

yes

computeropponen:
it looks like some one just beating boys and claimed to be a man!
a bigger fish in a small pond
it is not a lion among a group of tigers!

nemas to jedno ?

computeropponen: another example
GameType:Chinese Chess
Volkov: BKR=1866, Rank=10, Defeated players: Monastario 1521, Boo Qadm 1334, RayL 1396, RayL 1396. No of games played 4(4/0/0)
he is undeated too! wow.........

Justaminute:
lets see this player's rating:
Game type:Chinese Chess
Name: sembazuru
BKR: 1855
Rank:11
Games counted: 6(8/0/0)
Date game finished: from 6/Jan/2013 to 27/Sept/2013
No of moves: from 1 to 20
Players he defeated: Xabyer 1283, miyckarin unrated, Ronnie0000 1166, hovdini123 1431, mickaelpush 1337, shocksteel 1335, nibler29 1147, Boo Qadom 1334.
The highest rated player he defeated is 1431, how could he be rated 1855?
Now you will get the idea the BKR is inflated.

computeropponen:
moves match the chess engine's choice is not cheating if not thing is found after complete search.
all the 2700 player moves match computer's choice in the opening, are they quilty of cheating?
some even can remember the moves up to the mid-game stage.
i think Borislav Ivanov has upper memory....

computeropponen: Body cavity search should be performed on them as well!

Hrqls: Borislav Ivanov is not banned, he just refused to take off his shoes and socks and forfeited his game. He will be back playing chess again. he should demand all his opponents, especially those GMs rated above him take off shoes and socks and underwear even after search completed.....
If he can beat the computer by 10-0, he himself also a machine, only computer can beat computer,
no wonder his move match the top choice of the chess engines..

computeropponen: i agree: chess should be played naked! like the olympics in ancient times!

and female chess compeition should be broadcast live ;)

did i say some one is a cheater here? no. i just pointed out that someone with so high BKR in chess with 2717. i just can't believe it. he is just a suspect in my opinion....
Borislav Ivanov, the Bulgarian 2300 chess master who is banned for refusing to take off his shoes and socks demanded by the arbiter of the tournament , now he quit chess.
He was searched many x and no electronic equipment was found, so he is just a suspect, i don't think he is a cheater....
i have read the articles @ chessbase.com: "He never calculated moves" and" Borislav Ivanov speaks out"
he was accused of cheating by many masters some are the loser against him, no one who beat him has raised any question abt his game that he is cheating. Rombaldoni Axel who analysised the game he lost to him. even said " absolutely, he is cheating" in an interview.
in an interview Borislav speak out that he practice a lot with the computer, and after beating Rybka & Houdini by 10-0 each, he was absolutelly sure that no-one was gonna stop him winning...why not get him to prove it?
i won't take off my shoes and socks because i have toenail fungus ..ha

now people have something to talk about, not like before, the creator just post his tour by a short note like this; PC-yper 2013.....

An analysis of BKRs simply indicates grades get inflated with activity For example if you look at the most popular and least popular games on the site (based on the current number of games being played) you get the following:

(a) No of established grades
(b) Top Grade
(c) Number of grades over 2000
(d) % over 2000

Most Popular

1 Ludo
(a) 327
(b) 2350
(c) 222
(d) 68%

2 Backgammon
(a) 670
(b) 2634
(c) 571
(d) 85%

3 Chess
(a) 513
(b) 2717
(c) 162
(d) 32%

Least Popular

1 Alquerque
(a) 19
(b) 2030
(c) 2
(d) 11%

2 Jarmo

(b) 1713
(c)0
(d) 0%

3One Way checkers

(b)1873

(d) 0%

You have to be a very strong player (or have a very strong computer) in an unpopular game to get a grade of over 2000. You would need to win a lot of games and have a perfect record. Compare that with backgammon where 85% of grades are over 2000. You are almost guaranteed to have a grade of over 2000 with a half decent record because everyone you play against has a grade of over 2000.
Do the statistics indicate there are lots of chess computers being used? Not to me. Yes the top grade is higher than Ludo and Backgammon but the number of grades over 2000 is a much smaller percentage of the total population. If a high grade indicates cheating then there is a lot more going on in Backgammon and Ludo, which I would have thought was impossible.
The conclusion I draw is that
1. Grades across games are not comparable.
2. Grades are inflationary
3. There will be no correlation between a BKR and a FIDE grade.
Why is the system inflationary? I don’t know but I guess it has something to do with good players staying on in the system and weak players not. For example if 2 players with a 1500 grade play, the winner gets say 1600 and the loser gets 1400. The loser stops playing and drops out of the system. The winner carries on playing and the average grade is now 1600.

to je diskuze o nicem !

computeropponen: there is some other factors which might be of some influence: on a game site you can chose your opponents and you might win more by timeout than otb and you might stall or speed up certain games to get the ultimate profit or bkr changes
