Hrqls: I agree with you... I do the same thing. I'm in the USA, and have never experienced these sorts of problems. Occasionally, the site may run a little bit slow at times, but nothing that prevents me from making my moves. I used to have all kinds of problems when I wasn't clearing the cache, but now that it is set up automatically to clear the cache, I don't have issues.

crosseyed: i have never have problems with this site, i am in the netherlands, using both old and new equipment, using various types of browser (internet explorer, firefox, opera), on pc or laptop or android phone

one thing which might be different on my systems than the default systems is that i dont keep my history or cache (except on my phone) .. maybe a large history or old cached files can cause problems ?

As I tried posting this message the white page came up for several seconds and I clicked on fresh and nothing happened. I had to leave the site and when I came back this message had posted twice.

It seems entirely possible that a 10-wins match with a high probability of ending in a draw could reach that many games. But then again, who'd want to play 230+ draws out of 255 games!

Aganju: In Brainking's defense, I'd think "no one will play a match with more than 255 games" was a reasonable programming assumption... You'd need double server capacity to store the games on a 2-byte counter right?

Looks like the coder saved memory and used a one-byte integer to count them. 80ies style.

Wow, it looks like you can't play a match that's longer than 255 games. Our match just disappeared from the main page without any warning or message or anything after game #255. Open Pente (Thad vs. JackS)

crosseyed: Since the site itself is fast and running without any problems, it seems that only some routes are affected. It usually means that there are problems with certain network nodes which is out of our reach (so we can only wait).

You might have noticed some connect problems that started about an hour ago. I have already notified the ISP (the issue is on their side), so I hope they will fix it soon.

Subjekt: Re:
Energizer: I love progressive, and play a strong game. Would recommend adding a Fischer Random option for it, as (IMO) the standard variant's openings are deeply analyzed, and don't offer much opportunity for original analysis.

11. února 2013, 20:25:26
Energizer 
Progressive chess is a chess variant in which players, rather than just making one move per turn, play progressively longer series of moves. The game starts with White making one move, then Black makes two consecutive moves, White replies with three, Black makes four and so on. Progressive chess can be combined with other variants; for example, when circe is played as a game, it is usually progressively. Progressive chess is considered particularly apt for playing correspondence chess using mail or some other slow medium, because of the relatively small number of moves in a typical game.
What about making Progressive Chess on the Brainking...

Subjekt: Re: Connect4
Roberto Silva: Stats can be misleading. loop chess has a significant advantage to the player with the inititive (white). Never the less it is far from a forced win and a stronger black player can neutralise the advantage and go on to win.

SL-Mark: Maybe. I've only played any variant of that game once or twice I think, so can't really say anything about it.

Subjekt: Re: Connect4
Roberto Silva: I would argue that in Espionage and its variants, its makes no difference if you are white or black.

7. února 2013, 21:07:41
Roberto Silva 
Subjekt: Re: Connect4
Marshmud: No turn-based game is ever balanced. For every game either moving first or moving second is a better option, and master players will exploit that easily. Even chess is unbalanced in favor of white, and between grandmasters a black player can be quite happy if he gets even a draw.

However, if you check the stats for the other games mentioned (Maharajah, Horde Chess, Battleboat Plus, etc.) you will see that those games are so unbalanced that one side automatically has a huge advantage. It's not that a highly skilled player can exploit a bias in the game, but that the game is heavily loaded against one side regardless of skill or ability.

Subjekt: Re: Connect4
Marshmud: Concerning spider line4: true about the huge advantage, but the game is complex enough to be fun even as a second player.

7. února 2013, 15:48:43
Marshmud 
Subjekt: Re: Connect4
Roberto Silva: Those stats don't tell the true story. In Regular stack4 the 2nd player has a huge advantage. In the variants, like spider 4 The player who goes first has the advantage. Such an advantage that a good player will seldom loose.

another example is connect4 : player 2 has a big advantage there as well
