I see what you mean, Rose. I should have made it clearer that I was replying to Daniel Snyder's post (he's got the USA flag on his profile).
My fault. :)

I would like to correct you on IYT. IT has a 25 move a day limit. You play up to 20 games as well on free membership.

The BKR almost always changes, but sometimes the change is so small you will not see anything.

So in might have first been 2076.2, then 2076.5, then 2076.9, then the last win might have moved it to 2077.1 - which is why sometimes you get +1, and sometimes a +0. :-)

Chessworld allows only 5 games but the price is only 19$ US for 1 year membership... (IYT) Itsyourturn allows only 20 moves per day... Pente and Chessmaniacs are free sites and Pente 100 game limit chessmaniac has no limit... I will in about a year of playing every day is probably when I can afford my Rook Memebership... $50...
Thank you and all of you for being very nice...

Subject: bkr
hmm .. the bkr formula was changed ?

i thought with a difference of more than 400 points nothing changed if the higher player won ?

but in a game of froglet with a friend i got :

Hrqls: old BKR = 2076, new BKR = 2077 (+1)
SandyH: old BKR = 1090, new BKR = 1089 (-1)

Subject: re: Daniel Snyder
I see on your profile that you also play at Chessworld.net, IYT.com, Pente.net and Chessmaniacs.com.
Do these sites have limits on your number of games? I would have thought that all sites combined would give you plenty of games to play.
Other sites such as Pocket-Monkey.com give you unlimited games for free, although the site is far from as good as this in most areas, however, if your problem is not having enough games to play, well I think we have just solved that one for you :)
Cheers

You cannot sort it. But it should be sorted at least by a game category. I'll look at it.

Subject: sorting game type list
i am probably missing an option again
(hey i learned! i didnt post this in the feature forum right away ;))

could someone please tell me how to sort the list of game types which i can chose from when i want to invite someone to a game ?

it just took me several minutes to invite to a game of small pente because i overlooked it in the list
(yes i should look better i know .. but sorting the list alphabetically or something else would work as well ;))

THE HIT MAN - Have you went into setting to setup Auto vacations? Did they time out during a time you had setup for weekend or vacation? If neither of these, and your games run out of time - they will time out.

Fencer this time out is not working for me. I've lost some good games. The ones sitting on me get more time added. Whats this all about?

id like to make a point about game times . im playing in some one day limits on fri it should have added my weekend days but it didnt i had to move it after midnight friday (my time) to get the extra two weekend days added .

18. October 2004, 07:00:28
Fencer 
Okay, once again. The "time left" values generated before reenabling the game time were not accurate, just estimated. They didn't count vacations, weekend days etc. That's why several games seemed to be timeouted but when a timeout occurs and the corresponding player has a day off (weekend, vacation, site holiday), the game is protected and the script adds 24 hours to its time left.
It's nothing but logical. The purpose of days off is to avoid timeouts. That's why no timeouts can happen during such days.

17. October 2004, 23:06:13

he mentioned it in a few places Skyking. but i cant remember where LOL

17. October 2004, 23:03:43

Thanx rod..i should have just asked where Fencer wrote about timeouts LOL

Fencer mentions the "non synchronization" on the tournaments discussion board.

17. October 2004, 22:51:42
Stevie 
LISTEN LJ it wasnt like that this time due to the alterations made

17. October 2004, 22:50:37
LongJohn 
the extra 48 hours is added to the time initially before the weeken is even reached.
for example, if you are playing a 3 day game and you just made a move and it is Friday and your opponents weekend is Saturday and Sunday, the time left will "immediately" show 5 days and not 3

17. October 2004, 22:49:40
rod03801 
It could have been automatic vacation, but it could also been as Stevie described. When the time was turned back on, some of my games were scheduled to time out on my weekend days (which in this case is monday and tuesday). Fencer mentioned that some of the times were not synchronized yet. So I am assuming that for cases like this, he programmed it so that this would not happen.

17. October 2004, 22:49:33
Skyking 
I'm learning that LOL

17. October 2004, 22:47:37
Pafl 
Skyking: If you look into the person's profile, you will he has free days on Saturday and Sunday ... The way the new time-out system works is, that it adds extra 24 hours *after* you time-out (if it is weekend or holidays).

17. October 2004, 22:47:12

My ego got in the way that I thought I'd win on a timeout and this blew it LOL

Correct why do you think the new moves of the day go on at 6pm Eastern which is midnight there.
