Teema: 4-player chess?
Would it be possible to add 4-player chaturanga to the offerings on Brain King? I enjoy this game very much and think that others would, too. I personally prefer the no-dice variant and alliances between red and yellow, and black and green, as described in Gollon's modern version of the variant.

Dare I say that Yonin Shogi (4-player Japanese chess) is even better?

Teema: Re: chessbase
Scid is an applications program in which internet datatbases can be downloaded, PGN for instance. Scid then converts the PGN file into a "scid" file that allow the moves to be replayed on their chess board. There are search engines to find the games you want from the database by ECO, or a given position, or a particular player, etc...

GothicInventor The environment is changing 15. November 2003, 10:33:17
In case you have not noticed. Everyone has been given a clear slate at ths point in time. Dano was warned about his posts, which were unwarranted, and now he is gone.

He keeps making mention of manipulated posts. I am not sure what he means by that. I occasionally make typo corrections or punctuation changes at the tournament board, if this is manipulation, so be it.

Yes, I posted that I would help everyone playing Dano in Gothic Chess to win. I was letting off steam, but I really meant it when I said it. Logistically, does anyone really believe this was possible? In fact, nobody took me up on my offer, as those who were members of the fellowship recall. They all wanted to try and give him a drubbing by their own hands, win, lose, or draw.

I posted it mostly because I knew it would agitate dano when it leaked, so the spies helped me immensely, and I thank you for it.

It was an impossible task to do (play every move for every opponent against dano) but knowing the way his paranoia is manifest, I knew it would send him over the deep end.

So what had I actually done?

I made a post, then took no action on it. How many times a day do we each do similar things? You see a beautiful woman walking down the street, do you think "I wonder if she likes doing Crossword Puzzles?" If you see an armored car making a cash pickup at a store, do you think "I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets?"

No, we have fleeting thoughts about getting her in the sack, and tossing bags of money into the back seat and peeling off down the road. (Or maybe peeling off down the road with the girl in the back seat, and sleeping with the bags of money, whatever you prefer!)

The point being my previous fellowship was created for those to let off steam about dano, much as this one is most likely geared at letting steam off about me.

But does anyone really think I crashed the server just so dano, who won his section in the $3000 Gothic tournament, would not be able to continue on? Did he really think I was making all of those moves against him and he kept beating me game after game?

Folks, you have to face the fact that he was at least a little off his rocker. If nothing else, this must be conceeded.

The server crashed. That's all that happened.

A new policy is in place. It is one we can all live with. When I make a post about how the 4 kings in the deck of cards are not really modeled after those in antiquity that have permeated the culture, then someone calls me a prick for doing so, a line has been crossed. It was uncalled for.

Even now, I could of had this person banned, but I elected not to do so.

No more warnings will ever be issued, as the policy is any direct insult, in a private or public forum, will result in an immediate banning.

If it cannot be discussed without name calling, do us all a favor, and save yourself some keystrokes.

If you have read the hidden message I placed in this post, you know which 4 people will be banned next because they will most likely make snide remarks about this post. This is what I am hoping for. This is the bait.

Teema: I see the gothic mister can't beat suppressing informations
useful ones from danoschek least. this so-called server
turns to the same fraud like the confessing cheater. hope they'll
eventually be capable of a proper backup after all. the gothic coward
acchieved another goal after recruiting czech accomplices for an apple
and an egg plus empty promises: Dano timed out in their game.

seems easy to summon czech racism against germans -
also Caissus' won game against the wimp disappeared.
manipulation became a regular approach here,
and fencer? just a clown on command.

I cussed and insulted and was rude - several days.

To proove I'm still here - I'm not particular good at gothic you know.
And I most likely cannot defeat the vortex engine either, unlike Dano.

Recently I read a statistic that the bigger part of the correspondence chess players is still playing with postcards (more than 50 percent). A smaller part is playing with e-mail and fax and only the smallest part plays on a webserver. Can you believe this?
Does anybody know how is the situation in his own national correspondence chess federation?
