Way to go Eddie.. Don't pay any mind to anyone who says anything negative. At least you arent doing anything illegal online like some ppl do. You are enjoying your self and thats all that matters. I feel sorry for people who dont have anything else to do with their lives but worry about what other people are doing!

Same here Eddie..congrats on 2000..go for 3000!!!

Let me say it again eddie: congrats on 2000 wins!!!

I close this discussion and ask the Pope to declare all game junkies holy

I think Eddie is smart enough to make his own decisions

Gubbe, try to remember my messages as I wrote them. I NEVER promised a new server, i promised to contact some people about it (what i did), but i doubt i can find sponsors to create addicts. Chief KM: I never said I don't like Eddy, I feel sorry for him

As far as i know is Eddie a paying member with unlimited games/moves

I can not understand anyone not liking eddie spaghetti.

I dont "judge" anyone for playing too much, maybe when Uil has given Fencer the server he has promised..then Eddie can double his amount of games :)

At least he is slowing it down doing what was intended for this site, playing games and having fun instead of continual moaning, groaning and complaining. Have a wonderful day all ☺

no Gubbe, but he has played here about 4000 games in that time (385 right now) and playing on some other site: we call that an addict! What do you want, give him an award for slowing down the site the most of all

Way to go Eddie and I agree, this place is the greatest!

Do you think he should reach 3000 wins with prof. help?..congrats to 2000 Eddie :)

is playing over 2000 within 1 year worth a congrats. I think Eddy needs prof. help

well done eddie :)

Congrats, Eddie!!!

Congrats Eddie. I agree with you.

i got my 2,000th win today....i got it faster here than i did at gt and iyt...this site is the best,,,,,,,,

This happens occaisionally with Webtv... The quickest way I have found to fix it, is to leave the site, hang up, re- connect and come back. It seems to me that USUALLY helps. It has always worked fine when coming back to that game later. Sometimes I don't think you even have to reconnect completely. Sometimes leaving the site and coming back helps. But not always.(unless a significant amount of time has passed)

.. but the player who is sitting on my game list on 'zero time' has not moved since the 19th of July!! ("kitster") and he has another 17 games in a similar situation and his only other game he has been playing will end up at 'zero time' in about 4 hours.

Jules :)

It's working fine now for some reason. Thanks anyway.

Send an email to Fencer - email address: fencer@brainking.com
Tell him the exact Game ID and describe the problem. He will fix it for you.

Goodluck :-)

In one of my games I want to move a certain piece (a knight) but every time I try to click on it a message pops up on my Webtv that says "The item you have chosen contains a kind of information that can't be used". All of the other pieces work fine. Any other move I could make would be very bad. I'm not quite sure what to do.

for some types the amount of games is entirely inessential.
I actually do not pay for restrictions but for lacking of them.
and even your impression based on the view of chess is not complete.
in correspondance chess you have only 3 days per move,
but the reflection time cAn be accumulated, that is necessary
to keep up the quality-difference to otb chess ... ~*~

PS indeed I prefer the 3days tourneys too and the best
gameplay in chess I acchieved when it didn't extend 30 games.

I think the timeconrol of the most tournements is with 5 or 7 day much to long.Best is 2 or 3 days!
By the way there are players with more than 100 games simultaneously,some have over 200 or 250 games!
Nobody can tell me that you can play good with so many games.
There should be a limit for the maximal number of games (100) beacause it is an impertinence for all opponents.
In addition it could help the overburdens server.

That sounds good to me BBW! Or make it an even 7 days...

I like that the time is suspended because I had 4 games with 0 hours since I was unable to connect much yesterday.

BUT maybe something could be done differently - maybe instead of just turning off the time - add an extra (lets say 5 days) to each game. I know that this site can be hard to get on for a day or so, but if a player can't get on in 5 days (plus the regular time of the game), well ????

Not sure if that is possible - or even a good idea, just throwing something out there! :-)

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

I agree with both of you. I've been there and it is quiet frustrating!

and I also have a player that hasnt moved since 2nd July in a five in line tourney run by BRY...it is her number 11 five in line tourney and i notice a lot of players havent finished playing....why not just scrap it altogether....most would have timed out by now anyway

I have an opponent in a screen chess tourney who didn't play for 12 days now, since he knows that i am winning. It is my last game in that tourney and can not enter an other screen chess tourney as long as the time is suspended, while he is playing every day in all kind of games except in the game we are playing. A bit odd?

Done! thanks!

You can, for example, do it through Swreg by paying for 6-months Brain Knight membership [which is for $10 too]. Then I'll upgrade your membership to Brain Rook :-)

how do I do that? Do I just send PayPal to your email address here? Or do I go through swreg? A little instruction and I will send it toute suite.

pyloric valve: Of course you can.

Ok, lol. To some degree I agree, but I've got one game that's was waiting for the bloke to go for 10 days.. he still ain't!!

Jules :)

I signed up to be a member but I meant to be a Rook not a Knight. Can I just send the difference and become a Rook since I havent' been confirmed yet anyway?

I'm glad it is suspended. I would have timed out on several games due to no access. They suspended it because so many people are having difficulty. It is explained on the brainking info page.

.. Anyone know?

Jules :)

Dang bumble, your laptop IS amazing LOL

Yup High speed cable. I guess it's that I wouldnt just sit for an hour or more straight clicking on games.. MY eyes would go cross eyed I bet!

Rose: I can make 100 moves (backgammon mainly) in an hour quite easily. I'm guessing that it depends on the speed of your internet connection (do you have broadband?).

I have not had one problem at all today trying to access the site. I guess it must be the time you try to access it etc.. I keep the site open nearly 11 hours a day and every time I went to make a move today I had no problem. I do think there are a lot of contributing factors with regards to a lot of people not having as much access as others. Maybe ISP, time of day, Speed of server at the time, # of people already trying to access the site.

As I say for the first time in nearly 8 days today was the first day I didn't get the can't access site page.

I never could figure out how any one could make more then 200 or 300 moves a day. People must sit at their systems for 10 hours straight just clicking away.. As I say I have the site open all day an I go to it during breaks in work,afternoon breaks, lunch, after supper etc and have never exceeded 180 moves per day since I became a member. I thought I was THE true addict. How people can play more then 300+ a day is surely beyond me!

I agree, it is impossible ... I have been trying for almost 36hrs. just to get on to play the games. It really sucks, and I hope they solve the problem soon.

how can somebody make 837 moves in one day, especially with those frequent server-breakdowns??? ;-?

Your restriction is to only be able to join one tournament at a time...as a non paying member.

What's my restriction? That your logistics suq?

HAHAHA good one Fencer LOL...but then I can't really talk either...I wondered why I couldnt go any further after i was eliminated from a tourney...but thanks to KEVIN...he made it possible :)

Of course. That's your restriction as non-paying member.

Yes, but the way it is currently set up, you cannot join a new tournament until all the games in your section finish. However, if you message Fencer (or maybe he'll read this), he can mark you as eliminated (as you have no chance to advance) and then you will be able to join another tournament.
