Sure....I can select more than one item on a list using my WebTV but not at the same time. I have to make my selection/s one at a time....time consuming but that's how it goes!

CleverHunk... multi reversi games?! that would be interesting, it would be difficult not to be completely wiped out with four players though. There would have to be a few changes. If it would work it would be great to see!! And great fun to play!

Subject: Re: FAQ
I have just read the FAQ and I would like to suggest that this rule is somewhat unfair. For example if I was an 1800 and I was playing a 2000 and he best me 3-2 in a 3 pointer, my rating would not be affected by the fact that I aactually managed to take two points off him. This is somewhat unfair, especially since FIDE factor in the results of all games, even where they are part of sets such as the last FIDE World Championship.

Perhaps this could be changed so that each subgame is counted for your rating or maybe there could be a facility where you choose whether the results of sub-games or the overall score will be used in rating calculations.

Counting subgames would be better for lower rated players as they would be rewarded for all of their play against high graded players. Otherwise, there is little point in anyone playing a series game against anyone who is 200pts above them or more as there is little chance of them winning overall.

Subject: WebTV question
I've got a question for WebTV users - are you able to select more then one item of a list? It is possible with "normal" web browser by holding down the CTRL key but I'm not sure about other devices.

19. March 2003, 15:58:08
Fencer 
It is described at the FAQ page.

19. March 2003, 15:56:49
jondownie 
Subject: Does that mean
that only the overall score ie, wheter I win or lose the match overall will be used for ratings calculation? Or does each match from part of the calculation itself.

Also, if the answer is that only the overall socre counts, wouldn't it just be wiser for players to play individual games first to build up a rating and then longer series?

In OTB chess each game is factored in individially to the ratings.

19. March 2003, 15:40:45
Fencer 
Right.

19. March 2003, 15:26:25

Does that mean it doesn't count for ratings until then?

I havbe won two chess games. Actually I won them both on the same day, but only one appears in my total results. Is there a reason for this? The two results were about 5 hours apart.

I really have no time to ask everyone to be nice on discussion boards. I am overloaded with my work on BK and I have to sleep sometimes.
Please, use the General Chat board.

Subject: Use the General Chat board, not this one!!
I see that danoschek has remained popular as always (not)... but WHY post that stuff here? It's an insult to Fencer and Brainking.com that you (and by "you" I mean anyone who has participated in the recent flame war) chose this board to post your nonsence on, hence shadowing the postings of anyone who wants to post up about brainking.com itself; hasn't that occured to any of you? Least of all because Fencer went to the trouble of supplying us with a General Chat board yesterday. If nothing else you should have enough respect to stay on-topic on THIS board and post your other stuff on the General Chat board.

Subject: LISTEN UP EVERYONE
to everyone flaming Danoscheck for whatever reason... If Danoschek is the poison, then many of thep eople at IYT must be far worse than poison, whatever that is. If any of you don't like what he says, apply Bid Bad wolf's advice that he repeatts over and over (and over and over) AND DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THEM (the posts I mean).

I don't think there is really anything wrong with what he says-- but yet about a half dozen people made dozens of posts jumping all over him...

So everyone chill out. Danoschek may have soem odd posts, but he is usually civil, so I am not sure why he is called a spammer. As for whoever referred to him as "bannedoschek," well, his banning at IYT was total nonsense.

CleverHunk 
Subject: fencer,I have another idea for an orig game variant...
...how about a version of reversi 10X10 for more than 2 players...using more than 2 colors.I think the large board would reduce a bit the odds of it ending in a multiple draw.what do you think?
I know,I'm still hinting at multiple player games,but they are fun.

Subject: yes,I'm OD'ing on the whinning & verbal diarrhea.
ok .ok ...as anyone with any grey cells can assume.all server sites are different.some have good/bad features..as per the individual users opinion.no offense to anyone,but it is not enough to simply say you dont like a particular site.might be in better taste to simply say you prefer a certain site.no need to ramble on for several pages saying nothing of any substance.I hope this board doesnt start to remind me of a adolescent name calling chatroom.

besides,with everything going on in the world today,we could talk about a REAL issue.

Subject: Re: illegal moves in backgammon
Goldtoken also allows the illegal move. I would like to note also that a lot of players do not realise it is an illegal move as they have never played on a real board. So they figure if the site allows it, then it should be. I am hoping Fencer fixes it soon :-)

Silkwood 
Subject: Re: illegal moves in backgammon
A player must use both numbers of a roll if this is legally possible (or all four numbers of a double). When only one number can be played, the player must play that number. Or if either number can be played but not both, the player must play the larger one. When neither number can be used, the player loses his turn. In the case of doubles, when all four numbers cannot be played, the player must play as many numbers as he can.
