Interesting. Over the weekend, I added some Cloning matches for Rated players to accept. All 9 were accepted by this character that joined over the weekend: RatingDestroyer I especially love the name. Anyone seen this happen before? I logged a bug but went ahead and moved in all the games just so I would not lose vacation time. I also added comments in one of the games and they have now disappeared, so I am feeling like I am in The Twilight Zone...

Относно: Re: Echecs de tutti frutti (tutti frutti chess)
papillon77: I'm translating, it looks like an interesting variant:

Tutti frutti chess is a chess variant invented by Ralph Betza and Philip Cohen in 1978.

There are three pieces that are not used in conventional chess:
PRINCESS: bishop + knight
EMPRESS: Rook + knight
THE AMAZON: queen + knight

The amazon is placed in the usual location of the queen (column D). The queen herself is now on the other side of the King (column F), Princess right next to the queen (column G) and Empress on the same side of the King as the amazon (column A). The only knight is on the left column B, the only bishop on column C and the only rook on the column H.
The pawns are placed as in regular chess.

In short, the piece set-up is (white) : ENBAKQPR

The pawn that reaches the last row (from the perspective of the players) is promoted to rook or bishop or knight or princess or queen or empress or amazon.

The King can castle with the Empress in accordance with the rules of castling (if the Empress has made any previous move, castling is not possible)

All other rules are the same as classical chess.

Thad: Thad, you can do about that by setting the time for example to 6 days +1 day per move, no vacation, max 6 days.
That means everyone starts with 5 days 'vacation' plus 1 day for the first move, and plus 1 day for each further move.

The problem with all these settings is that you often hurt the wrong person: For example, if I start a tournament three months before a longer travel, and my opponent drags alone his full time for every move, I will lose on time during my travel, even though I used only 6 hours in the whole three month.

Относно: Re: Vacation
It would be a *major* improvement to this site if games, or at least tournament games, could be limited to allow only a certain amount of vacation days. Even if I sign up for a fast paced tournament, I can still get stuck by players with lots of vacation time. I understand the desire for it, but how about a way to make a tournament with, for example, a maximum of five vacation days per player (per round?). That way, someone can go on a weeklong vacation without forfeiting. Seems reasonable to me!

Aganju: Thanks to you and everyone for the responses - all were helpful, but yours gave the exact answer I was seeking. I wasn't sure, because each game taking up an hour seemed unreasonable, but so does being allowed to hold up all games for 35 days, to some extent. I guess with this being a turn-based site where people shouldn't expect blazing fast games, and the fact that one can set up a game or tourney that doesn't allow vacation days, it does make sense. 

I actually suspect I won't use any vacation days, but it's a relief to know that if I somehow am not able to get any Internet access, I won't time out of hundreds of games - just possibly the few red dot and green dot (thanks for the clarification happyjuggler0) games I'm involved in.

rod03801: I'm wondering why all the games on a 3 day per move time limit all showed the exact same time... 5 days and 23 hours. beach said the same about hers, that it showed 5 days and 23 hours. What are the odds of ALL 3 day limit games showing the exact same time? I made moves in those games this morning, and now that my opponents have responded I'm seeing 5 days but different hours for those games... which makes sense, because no one expects everyone they are playing will move at the exact same time. So I'm wondering, if I could have seen the minutes as well as the hours this morning, would those numbers have been different or exactly the same?

You see where I'm going with this? I can't be sure, but from where I'm sitting there appears to have been a glitch of some sort.

Относно: Re: Vacation
Carpe Diem: i think the core point of the question was if each game draws by itself from the vacation; and the answer is NO.
If your first game times out, it will draw 1 hour of your vacation, and all your games will get an extra hour (except the ones with the red dot, which say "no vacation" - those do time out). So every vacation hour is good to move out all your games for an hour, etc.
And yes, as stated below, you get new vacation on Jan/1.
And! you have your weekends free in addition.
So - again, except the games with red dots - your first game will time out earliest 35 non-weekend days after Jan/1, which is about Feb/18.
Have a good vacation!

Относно: Re: Vacation
Carpe Diem: Without looking, I'm not even sure the help area has the correct answer. Fencer changed the vacation system, um, a year ago maybe? Or maybe longer. Time flies. Vacation time is now used hourly. So when your games get to the "time out" time, you aren't using a whole day. You could come online an hour after one of your games would have timed out, and see you have 34 days 23 hours of vacation left.

Now, as far the more technical aspects, I'm not positive of the smaller details of it. But yes, right now you actually have more than enough vacation time, because on Jan 1st, everyone's vacation time refills to whatever their membership entitles them to.

I found the small blurb about automatic vacation, and want to make sure I understand it properly. My profile shows me:

<tbody></tbody>
Vacation days left:35 days - using the automatic vacation

Am I to understand that this means none of my games will time out for 35 days once I run out of time in one of my games? Or does each game that times out use one of those days, and I will run out of days once 35 games have hit the deadline? 

I'm going away for a few days, and my Internet access may be spotty, so I'd like to know exactly how it works. Sorry if I missed an answer on the site somewhere.

Right, I didn't want to come off like I was bitching or anything - 7/10 is indeed a fraction. And yeah, it makes sense that some people would've used some codes in the past and would need less than 7 now - I actually didn't realize you could accumulate them over time. Wish I had signed up with one, but I still feel like I'm getting very good value for my money; I just know now to watch for one next year. :)

Carpe Diem: 7/10 is still a fraction. We are not a charity. This opportunity had been originally created for people who received some bonus codes in the past, so they don't need to make 7 different orders but only 5 or 4 (for instance).

Anyway, I know of several players who really placed 7 orders and got their Black Rook for 252 Euro.

Yeah, I hadn't figured a month of bishop would work, but I would hope 6 months rook would, or the savings is only 30%.

Oh wait, I see on the main page that it does indeed need to be a year - that's surprising. I guess "a fraction of its list price" is true, but I was expecting a little smaller fraction than 7/10. Or am I missing something?

Not to bad mouth the site or promotion, as I'm quite enjoying this place. I'm just surprised if that math is correct, when it's relatively easy to get 2.25 years for the price of 1.

bajvik: here is an *automatic* translation (for those that do not speak Russian) [Здесь автоматический перевод (для тех, кто не *говорит* на русском языке)]:

I do not know, I write about the creators of this site is that the rules of Thai sticks at them, apparently, are not true. Unfortunately, I do not know any English or Czech language, and write in Russian, apparently useless. Those who are here longer than I have, perhaps, prompt what to do. The essence of the problem is:
In my party with lasto, which is now played, after the moves 1. b2-c3 c7-d6 2. c3-d4 g7-f6 3. a1-b2 h8-g7 4. h2-g3 d6-c5 5. d4xb6 a7xc5 6. f2-e3 e7-d6 7. b2-c3 g7-h6 8. e1-f2 f8-e7 9. g3-h4 b8-a7 10. e3-f4 f6-e5 11. f2-g3 c5-d4 12. c3-b4 d4-c3 13. b4-c5 c3xe1 14. g1-h2 d6xb4 White hit 15. f4xd6xf8, what might follow 15...a7-b6 16. f8xa3 black with a win (opponent has not responded yet).
Of course, I could have played differently, but went to the version with the undermining of 13. b4-c5, to check the rules.
The fact is that in reality in Thai Checkers was to follow 13 ... c3xe1 14. g1-h2 d6xb4 and then after 15. f4xd6xf8 black immediately have to beat on the a3.
I do not remember the name of this rule, but I know him by Thai sources. In Thai with fighting, there are many published combinations. A similar rule is, it seems to Yuzhnonemetskih drafts, unless the rules of the game are described correctly, which I'm not sure. I used to think that only the Russian sites are given erroneous descriptions of foreign drafts games, but now convinced, that in the West there are often errors. I'm familiar with, for example, the description of the rules of Kenova (Ossetian pieces), and so in Russia game is described differently in the English language \"Wikipedia.\ Therefore, it is a world problem, which is caused due to lack of coordination among those involved in the Games (Or at least drafts - on other difficult for me to say). If we take, for example, the rules of Tama (Armenian checkers), I sign with 4 (!) different versions of the rules of the game systems and which ones are real, likely, only God knows.

Не знаю, как мне написать создателям этого сайта о том, что правила Тайских шашек у них, судя по всему, не соответствуют действительности. К сожалению, я не знаю ни Английского, ни Чешского языка, а писать по русски, видимо, бесполезно. Те, кто здесь находятся дольше меня, может быть, подскажут, что делать. Суть проблемы такова:
В моей партии с lasto, которая сейчас играется, после ходов 1. b2-c3 c7-d6 2. c3-d4 g7-f6 3. a1-b2 h8-g7 4. h2-g3 d6-c5 5. d4xb6 a7xc5 6. f2-e3 e7-d6 7. b2-c3 g7-h6 8. e1-f2 f8-e7 9. g3-h4 b8-a7 10. e3-f4 f6-e5 11. f2-g3 c5-d4 12. c3-b4 d4-c3 13. b4-c5 c3xe1 14. g1-h2 d6xb4 белые бьют 15. f4xd6xf8, на что может последовать 15...a7-b6 16. f8xa3 с выигрышем чёрных (соперник пока не ответил)..
Я, конечно, мог сыграть по другому, но пошёл на вариант с подрывом 13. b4-c5, чтобы проверить правила. Дело в том, что на самом деле в Тайских шашках должно было последовать 13...c3xe1 14. g1-h2 d6xb4 и тут после 15. f4xd6xf8 чёрные сразу же должны бить на поле а3.
Я не помню, как называется это правило, но я с ним знаком по Тайским источникам. У тайцев с таким боем существует немало опубликованных Комбинаций. Аналогичное правило есть, кажется, в Южнонемецких шашках, если, конечно, правила этой Игры описаны правильно, в чём я уже не уверен. Раньше я думал, что только на российских сайтах даются ошибочные описания иностранных Шашечных игр, но теперь убеждаюсь, что и на Западе ошибки встречаются нередко. Мне знакомо, например, описание правил Кенов (Осетинских шашек), так вот в России Игра описывается иначе, чем в англоязычной "Википедии". Стало быть, это мировая проблема, которая существует из-за отсутствия координации между теми, кто занимается Играми (хотя бы Шашечными - о других мне судить сложно). Если взять, допустим, правила Тамы (Армянских шашек), то я знаком с 4(!) разными вариантами правил этой Игровой Системы и какие из них настоящие, наверно, одному Богу известно.

С уважением Виктор Байгужаков.
