Emne: Re: Tournament Game Draws .... Who Advances ...???
Thanks Bengood24 & Pawnme ! Much Appreciated !
I think I have a better understanding now ... and just to think, after all of this, I've had a change of heart and decided not to make the offer. It's do or die now.....:)
Emne: Re: Tournament Game Draws .... Who Advances ...???
Either I'm missing something about the BK draw offer procedure, or perhaps there's a glitch herein.
I received the following message after offering a draw during my turn : " Abiodun offers a draw, but it is still his/her turn. If ferina does not answer this offer before 9. December 2005, 15:06:44, Abiodun will lose the game (timeout).Warning! If Abiodun makes a move, this draw offer will be automatically cancelled! "
Normally I don't look at my games until it is my turn to move. If my opponent does the same, how then is he suppose to know that I have offered a draw...?? I have done a 'work-around' to this dilemna by sending my opponent a seperate message , although I'm not certain that he reads or writes english since my game comments have all been unresponsive on his part. I've even tried offering a draw when it was not my turn, but I didn't receive the returned BK acknowledgement message (above in quotes) nor did my opponent respond.
If I knew that our game was winable for either, I would be content to play on indefinetly.
Recommendations ......What to do.......How to procede ...???
Emne: Tournament Game Draws .... Who Progresses ...???
Greetings All ! Is there any BrainKing ruling(s) on the following....?
I'm considering offering a draw to my opponent, but before I do so I need first to determine which one of us(or perhaps even both) progresses to the next(final) stage. It's a 2 section tournament and my opponent and I seem to be at an impasse in this last remaining game of our section. There is allready a winner in the other section.
???
