Taken from the FAQ page...

Although I had finished a game, my BKR did not change! Is that an error?
No, this is not an error. There are several situations which can be a reason of that:

Both players did not perform at least two moves. It can happen when one player loses the game by a timeout at the very beginning.
You won a game with an opponent whose BKR is significantly smaller than yours. If we would apply the formula exactly, your BKR would have to drop. But BrainKing.com uses the rule that your BKR cannot drop after you win the game, therefore it remains unchanged. The similar rule applies if you lose a game with an opponent whose BKR is significantly higher than yours.
The game have been defined as "unrated game". Such game is not calculated for BKR.
The game is a part of a match which is not finished yet. The match is treated as a single game which consists of several sub-games. The statistics (number of won, drawn and lost games) and BKR of both players is changed after the whole match is finished and the result is based on the match result itself, not on the results of its sub-games.

Fencer wanted to avoid a situation where very high rated players were afraid to play low rated players in case their rating dropped drastically (in the event of the lower rated person winning).

Niki, unless your post promts someones memory to start a tournament or a second round, I'm afraid the only thing I can think of is to go through your tournaments again and double check them. I can help if you like, just send me a message if you need a hand :o)

Do you have a ittle green arrow next to where it says "Time Left" on your main screen? If not, click on 'Time Left' and that should sort it for you.

Its fine for me, Stevie.

Then you can't send yourself messages! ;o)

.... KEVIN!!

Wow where has April gone? I had intended to send Kevin his questions at the end of April in time to start a new set of questions for the next interviewee - but time got the better of me!
I'll give 2 days for people to send me any more questions they'd like asked - then I'll send them all to Kevin. Get creative and think of some questions he could be asked!

I do, Bernice! (But that really should be on the feature request board, and Goodfoods post should be on the tourney board!! *sigh* :oP Happy Easter!)

Dice are definitely random :o) For everyone.

Could you move this to the tablut discussion board please?

rod, put him on your enemies list, then he can't send you any messages :o)

I believe they are, Rogue Lion.

Do you mean where you type in a name? You type in a name, then press search. Always click on the box in the area you've chosen to use.
(Open game for any player to accept, type in a name or choose a name from your friends list)

BBW, I wish one single board WOULD be decided on because every board I've been to today has had posts about this and I'm sure I'm not the only one fed up with it. Thats why I asked this board be kept clear.

I said you're being ridiculous if you seriously think that I, alone, requested that Steve and MM be banned, and Fencer did it. Or words to that effect :o)

Now I won't ask again, please no more on the subject here, it will be deleted.

bwild I will hide your posts if you continue to post about those two. Its covered on every other board, I ask you to at least leave one free for other discussions.

Nope, just posts about Steve and MM have gone.

I'm removing every post to do with Steve and MM on this board. It has been covered extensively on all other boards.

Well I can never decide, I want to interview everyone! So I ask Fencer to make the final decision on most interviews :o)

Ha, I've lost loads of times as black too! Theres been some discussion about it on the maharajah chess DB, if you have a look there... :o)

Fencers choice :o) I thought Kevin is a great choice too, I'm looking forward to putting in my own questions for him! (Like how does he always beat me at spider line 4!)

Oh, you're right, Rogue Lion! I did pass it along to Fencer, he musn't have got around to putting it at BrainKing.info yet. I'm sure it will be there soon.

In the meantime.... please send me your questions for KEVIN!! This hard-working youngster has done wonders for BrainKing. I can think of a dozen or so questions I'd like to ask him!

rhiannon - its when you hit the 'move and go to...' button that it counts as a move. So its just counted as one move.

Once a day, bwild. At midnight, Czech time.

xe.com is a very simple site for conversions, bwild. I have it bookmarked and use it all the time :o)

Long John and Bernice, you've both had your say, so please now take it to a more appropriate board, thanks :o)

Would you mind moving this to general chat? Thanks :o)

.... KEVIN!!

No more questions for zetes please, I'm now taking questions for Kevin! Send them to me and state if I can use your name on the questions, thanks! :oD

I can get on games, Steve. Its all working fine for me.

......zetes!!! you have about 24 hours for any last minute questions for zetes!

Just TWELVE more people needed until it hits 100 people signed up for THIS TOURNAMENT!! It would be great to see 100 signed, and don't forget, even if you're a pawn in a tourney already, you can still sign for this one if you message Linda J about it.

Oh now behave Steve! I only cleared a couple of messages. This board is for posts about BrainKing, not for having a laugh and a chat. Theres plenty of other boards you can do that on (like I need to tell YOU!!)

All I ask is that you don't go too far away from the subject of this board, and don't make offensive comments.

bwild, I didn't think it was funny, and I doubt the person it was aimed at did, either. Also, theres a separate board for jokes :oP

I'll be steering you two over to the fellowship board if you're going to name EVERY fellowship!

Please stop posting about how many moves a person makes, or that they should get back to their games. Its off-topic and not particularly nice either.

......ZETES

I'll still be taking questions for zetes for another couple of days, please send any questions to me, and state if you want your name put with the question or not!

Same here, Crissie and Steve. Just keep hitting refresh and cross your fingers! :o)

Thats a great post, Brian1971. LindaJ also runs a fellowship that can help out pawns who can't afford memberships, but would like one. Look her up for details!

But if we all paid a year in advance, next year when the memberships would be due, Fencer would have no income.

Bwild, shameful plug for your fellowship! ;o)

And don't forget to send me your questions for zetes' interview!

Sorry, Jason, mine doesn't do it either! You must have a link to the twilight zone ;o)

Its going through ok for me, Jason. Do you mean where you click "game" to get your game list in alphabetical game order?
Have you tried to list it by time, then trying the game again?

LongJohn, I don't think Bernices post sounds nasty, just assertive. If you have a problem with a post, please contact me and I will remove it if it is offensive. Arguing isn't allowed here, especially when its about fellowships, which should really be on the fellowship board! :o)

IMupChucKing -

Yes, its good
Yes, its for suggestions
Yes, you can debate the merits of a suggestion
Yes, lots of things from there get implemented, or make the 'to do' list (which does get done)

I hope that answers your questions.

If its not obvious, LongJohn, then it may be a private matter? And probably not one best discussed here. If it really had to be discussed on a public board then the fellowship board is the place.

That sounds brilliant! :o) Nice one, Caissus.

Could you give us non-German speaking folks a rough description of what its about?

...........Zetes!!

Send me your questions for the very first paying member on BrainKing! I have played Zetes a lot, and know very little about him (except that he's a perfect gentleman) so I'll be looking forward to this one!
Don't forget to add if your name can be added to your question, or if you want it anonymous. Its nice to see now that more people are allowing their names to be put with their questions! And I think the questions are getting more adventurous too now people have seen how its working. So keep the questions coming!

No more questions for Chattytea please!

Bernice, theres loads of people I'm looking forward to interviewing, and hopefully AD and GI will be among them, as long term members of BK who add spice to the site :o)

Chattytea.... Last day to get your questions to me for Chatty, this time tomorrow I'll be sending her the interview and announcing the next interviewee! (Watch this space!)

You've been asked to end this topic of discussion, please respect that request. Any more posts on this will be deleted - thanks.
