Subject: Breaktrough Team Ratings

Hi, people!

I've noticed there are 11 breaktrough Teams in Brainking. Although, only 5 are rated. It seems we're not playing too much! ;)

Besides the team tournaments that are running, are any other teams interested in making some games? Tugas team is (I'm it's captain, so... I think I can talk for them). I suggest matches of 4 players. Who's in?

Subject: Re: Stronge teams

Mousetrap: Oh no, in iyt are some good players too... my team is also very "young" in this game, but we have been practicing in a few "internal tourneys" (that was our strategy: practicing with "comented games" in order to learn with each others some tricks of the game).

Mousetrap: Yes, I hope we have a lot of teams in this tournament... and please, no "artificial ery strong teams" as in the other one, with Josualitko's team... this is not good for noone. I think we need a lot of competitive and equilibrated teams...

This was the first team tournament of breaktrough (and the only one until now). I was absolutelly against the "spirit" that was under the "construction" of this team. Nevermind, it looks that I was the onlyone thinking that way. Here we have the results.

I wish we could have a more fair competition (and more stimulating). Is there someone else interested in a team tournament of breaktrough?

Subject: Tournament

Hi. Pysso have created a big tournament, I think it will be very hard to get 64 players for it, but it would be a really nice goal for breaktrough in Brainking. Please, subscribe it and tell your friends to...!

Subject: Re: strategy

ruby2shoes: Hi, Ruby. I have my own strategies, I can share with you.
- Your first line must not be moved until the game is close to finish;
- Columns A and H are the easiest to atack, because each piece (in other columns) may be defended for both (left and right) sides. Playing and atacking in Columns A and H, You will notice you can "break trough" with only 2 pieces (against the entire defensive line), and in the "middle" columns you need, at least, 3 atacking pieces;
- "Line positions" (Ex.: D3, D4, D5, or D3, E3, F3) are strongest to defend, but "diagonal positions" (Ex.: E3, F4, G5) are strongest to atack;
- You must not forget the main goal of the game, wich is very diferent from checkers games. It's important to get a solid game until the 20th move (depending on both players style, it can be slower or faster), but than, you must get ONE piece to the end. Not all of them!!! ;) It means that, with both defenses openned, you must not be stronger or more "closed", but simply... faster!
I hope you enjoy that amazing game (it's my favourite one, such as Gothik Checkers).
