As hinted at before, I'm not privy to your conflabs with Fencer, my present state of knowledge is that if Bwildman wins, Danoschek will be moderator for six months, it's difficult to see how he could perform that function while banned. On the question of retractions perhaps you'd like to set the ball rolling with an apology for your "dont have the talent" post.

One or two words could have been diferent BUT They were not as bad as you make out. Considering you were saying things about Dano himself, but he is not allowed to reply

My vote is YES

edit to correct spelling error

Is Danoschek presently banned? If so could you un-ban him just to answer the question as to whether or not he'll take up the position should the situation arise, please. It's quite nonsense for the game to involve unrealisable stakes from either side, and Fencer's complicity is rather obscure to me at this point. (I dont see which Danoschek post you mean.)

The conversation is meaningless unless one assumes the game will take place. I understand it's holiday season at present in the US, scheduling could be troublesome for both of you.

Not exactly the perfect end to a perfect evening, in fact pretty disappointing but I guess I'd choose to be the stream, myself.

Sorry but I see a double standard here..
You ban some one for saying 'Moron' & 'Poop' LOL
I dont really see the logic in that.. :)
But you yourself said 'piss off' ...
To me that was more offensive.. :)
But that's just my humble opinion!!!
Runs off before she gets banned...

I have read this post for quite some time. I have kept quite about this issue for almost as long, but it seems that it should be addressed. Ed, it seems to me that your position as moderator and position as just another use posting here are in great confilct. To me, several of your posts are pretty much just arguementative and therefore do not belong here. A different moderator might consider banning you as well as those with whom you have been bantering! And you have banned them!!

I know you want only the best for the Gothic Chess Community. Your passion for the game is great, but I think it is hurting more than helping in this situation. I think turning the position of moderator of this board over to someone less baised about the game itself would be a good thing. Short of banning us all, it is the only way to end all this rhetoric & nonsense.

I would be happy to moderate it myself, although I don't think I can, since I am only a pawn. I'm sure there are others out there who can do a fine job.

You have to admit though, having the 'gothic chess' board moderated by the guy who invented it is pretty cool!

That would be true, if he was a nice guy about it. Ed, I'm not great at gothic yet, but give me alittle time. Your "I'm better than you" attitude isn't helping anything at all. Your good at the game. And??? You feel the need to rub that in people's faces??? I'm not trying to start anything with this post BTW. I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you treat all the other people on this site like dirt?

Ok let me say this in a different way. Why do you treat everyone who dosn't share your point of views that way then. It almost seems like you take everything that is said that you don't agree with personaly. I just don't understand that mentality. It's like a 10 year old kid shooting hoops with his friends. If something happens that he dosn't like, he takes his ball and goes home. That's the attitude I see comming from you and I'm just trying to understand it.

!!!!!!!!!!!! GREECE WON EURO-2004 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was away from Brainking for 5-6 days and now i'm back. So i don't know the whole conversation and i will try to read it later. As Ed said: "This board is for Gothic Chess."
So let's start something on topic:

Since Gothic Chess positions, with KQKC has been solved, i want to know how much % are the White's win positions, the Black's win positions and the drawn positions, if we suppose that White has the Queen, and it's White's turn. And how much are all these when it is Black's turn?

This endgame is very interesting and i'm suprised to see (in http://www.gothicchess.org/databases.html) that both sides (the one with Queen and the other with Chancellor) can win by playing first and giving a check (I don't mean they win 100% if they play first and give a check).
I assume that if King is near Queen or Chancellor that the game is draw (Except of course from some rare positions). Is this true?


I would also like to ask Ed, what happened the page with the endgame statistics?
Also what happened this link: http://www.worldchampionshipcheckers.com ?


!!!!!!!!!! GREECE WON EURO-2004 !!!!!!!!!!!!
