Matarilevich: Thanks so much for the prompt reply! ww

wetware: The board fot this question is chess variants.
A double check counts as one check in the global sum of checks in a game of three checks chess

Feel free to move this question to another area, if there's a more appropriate place. Does a double check count as one check or two, according to the BrainKing software? My guess (and preference) is "one", but I need to know in order to choose the proper continuation in a current game. Thanks in advance!

doing good here as well

everything seems fine on this side of the pond

Stevie: Likewise. For me the problem is highly intermittent and most accesses are behaving. Then a big hesitation or several little one occur. UK problem, I guesss. [shrug]

playBunny: what are you on? Im on 2.2Meg broadband dsl

Stevie: Reeeeeeaalllly slow response times here as well.

with page loading speeds etc etc especially when using messages..

Is it just me?

good people like baddessi make BrainKing a pleasure to visit.
Congrats young lady.

alanback: thanks
now back on topic everyone!

baddessi: At the risk of being ruled off topic, let me say you are a welcome feature :-)

harley: I always thought of myself more as a feature : )
Thanks Eriisa(the flake) and harley

alanback: S no W

Eriisa: So, are you trying to tell us your a flake?

alanback: lol

Eriisa: I think he was joking, theres a winking face there!
I always knew baddy was a structure

Eriisa: Who pays attention to moderators anyway??? ;-)

LOL, I guess I just assumed everyone would see her name up there.

Eriisa: Absolutely. This is a board to discuss BrainKing, not to discuss this board

Eriisa: Woulda perhaps been useful if you mentioned it with your message.

alanback: Congrats to the new moderator of the board is off topic????

since when? A moderator is a part of the structure and feature..........

Eriisa:

congrats Baddy!!!!

prettymama:

playBunny: Thank You

prettymama: Lol. It does seem strange but it makes sense. It's due to the fact that Sphere froglet is so new.

Blackviper's ranked #2 in Sphere Froglet but that's because he's the second of only 2 players who have an established rating! Everyone else, including yourself, is provisionally rated and ranked. On that ranking you're at #41 whereas blackviper is #72. And his rating is 895 to your 1368. That difference of 473 explains, as Steve said, why you get no points for a win.

ScarletRose: thanks to you n stevie but I think his answer may be right we r playing single games n if I lose the game I lose 100 points go figure n i'm playing someone with a 4 ranking lol

prettymama: That is due to it being a set match.. meaning there are multiple games under one match.. perhaps when the invite was set up it said 7 matches.. ?? don't know the exact number it was set for.. but, non the less when the last game is complete you will get points.. or your opponent will.. whichever one satisfy's the contract of the game..

prettymama: It may be because your opponent has a low BKR

Hi my question is about winning points I've been playing spere froglet new game for me but sense i got my bk ratings I have not won any points again this game is show 0 points if I win why is this

frolind: ok thanks :o)

Stevie: No, they can't.

I know they can not invite you to a game...
But can they pick one of your games up from in the waiting room?

Fwiffo: I agree, please stay on topic.

Chatty posts will be deleted.

I'm sorry to bring this up - but why are people so often using the brainking.com board as a chatroom? Sometimes I have to scroll through dozens of these kind of messages in just one day... totally irrelevant to "brainking itself, its structure, features and future."
It is very time-consuming and it frustrates me a lot, up to the point I decided to remove Brainking.com from my "favourite boards".

I don't know, maybe I'm the only one feeling this way... but I hope people can restrain themselves a bit more.

saii: Did you advertise in the waiting room

saii: you may try the checkers discussion board. good luck.

To sophisticated contestants,

Please send me a message to my inbox, invite me to a match (public/private) or email me: yahooexcite@hoshmail.com to arrange faster games.

P.S. No cheating!

Happy New Year,

WhisperzQ: "i'd be interested to hear what explanation the person gives (if they give one at all)......"

When someone says as a welcome message instead of "Hi" or "good luck to you too", the "gvdl* you too".
I just noticed that and i asked what is his problem and as he has some hours to play i will soon find out the answer to this question!
While you, you'll never find the answer to your question of draws....

*= -1

WhisperzQ: No, there are some who offer from about move 3 or 4 (although it may true that there is game is indeed lost even at this stage, they just don't know it yet ... LOL j/k :)

WhisperzQ: eheh, only when their game is already lost... :)

And then there are others who offer draws with each move ... I find that a tad annoying too :(

Why try to make sense of it?! It takes all kinds, I'm sure they had their reasons even if we can't understand them.

Pythagoras: Yes but why, resign from a game, half way through it, that doesnt make sense.

Marmite: Perhaps he/she couldn't afford 300 games plus the one future games on waiting room.
So now he/she can afford 50 plus the ones at waiting room....
So now to answer the obvious question: why then create so many ones in the waiting room? I saw that person saying because he/she thinks that there are not enough games at waiting room and he/she wants to give the chance to people to play many types of games.....

plaintiger: Yes they replied to my message saying that they had over 300 games which was far to many and was now down to 50, seems abit strange to me , seeing as they have loads on the "waiting Games" board.

Pythagoras: Yes and yes.

There was quite a discussion about vacation days not so long ago. Stick vacation into the search box to get hold of it...

I haven't renewed my membership and i had 0 vacation days. But now i see that i have 30 new ones. Why is that? I guess because of the start of a new year. So is it true that vacation days are initialize to 30 at the start of any new year?

Also if at the middle of a year someone renew his membership, will vacation days also be initialized to 30 again?

But you must have any kind of an accusation for him/her. By just saying that he/she creates many games at the waiting room and that 2-3 people saying that he/she resigned a game against them is not enough i think. It must be a repeated process For example if he/she does this again..... Don't forget that the person may had a reason(a real one) and now he is again fine.
It happened to me 2-3 days ago and i'm still wondering why he/she did that. And the worst part is that person is strong in some games while it is very interesting to talk with and his/her behaviour was not strange at all before this. Now i have accepted 2 more games with him/her and i hope he/she will not resign....
