<< < 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 > >> 3. April 2003, 08:17:46 Subject: Spend time making moves... If you looking for someone that spend a nice time online making moves in chess. Send a invite... 2. April 2003, 17:12:27 Subject: Re: Timeouts Hey Kevin ... Thanks, Bud ! 1. April 2003, 22:13:43 Yep, when the time runs out, the game is automatically forfeited, and they do count towards ratings and win/loss. However, if the game had less than 4 moves when timed-out, it will still count towards your win/loss, but will not affect your BKR, win or loss. 1. April 2003, 12:45:34 Subject: Game Timeouts How are game timeouts handled here ? Are they automatic ? Do they count towards the win / loss record as well as the BKR ? 30. March 2003, 14:00:13 Subject: Re: Diagrams in Discussion Boards erm, no. But if you post the score or the positins of the pieces we can help you. 30. March 2003, 13:49:41 Subject: Diagrams in Discussion Boards Is there a way to include a chess diagram in BrainKing discussion boards? 26. March 2003, 21:50:41 Subject: Re: BrainKing Ratings Players ratings. You can see the way this works in the FAQ section.
As for 2) the general rule is for 500 gap you won't win any at all, 400, 1 from 10 and so on. 22. March 2003, 18:26:29 Subject: so... anyone want more discussions? 21. March 2003, 09:53:11 Subject: good good I eill have another look at it. 20. March 2003, 23:19:43 Subject: Re: thanks for whispering ... : argh !!
that's what happens when you stir through loose sheets of old notation ! eheh ! better now ? :") ~*~ 20. March 2003, 16:42:37 Subject: Re: thanks for whispering ... : Okay, more whisperzzzz ... how does black get their bishop to b4 at move 6 (past the e7 pawn). Maybe that explains the !? marking :) 20. March 2003, 16:34:38 Subject: thanks for whispering ... :") I ENJOY this 'later edit'-option here ... ;) ~*~ 20. March 2003, 16:27:51 Subject: Re: scandinavian main lines I think there is something missing from your "real gambit" listing, there should be a line 4 :) 20. March 2003, 16:25:38 Subject: Scandinavian Am I right in supposing that Larseenn you speak of is the one from way back?
I know the queen manouevre is risky but it is sometimes enough to catch (albeit weaker) players off guard and wrap things up quickly. I have a good example on IYT. 20. March 2003, 16:11:12 Subject: Re: scandinavian main lines 1) e4 d5
2) ed Nf6 3) d4 Nd5: 4) c4 Nb6 5) Nf3 Bg4 6) c5 N6d7 7) Bc4 e6 8) h3 Bh5 9) Be3 Nc6 10) Nc3 Be7 slight advantage for wite the real gambit is 3) c4 c6! 4) dc Nc6: 5) d3 e5 6) Nc3 Bf5 7) Nf3 Bb4!? 8) Be2 e4 9) de! Qd1:+ 10) Kd1: 0-0-0 11) Kc2 ... unclear according to Larsenn ~*~ 20. March 2003, 15:58:48 Subject: Please explain Nf6 turns it into a gambit where Black has to hope white cannot hold onto the pawn 20. March 2003, 15:08:31 Subject: Another one to investigate 1. e4 d5 2. ed
Now what? Qxd? or maybe take a risk with ...e6. Ideas? 20. March 2003, 10:42:24 Subject: Openings 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d5
What??? Has anyone made this work? it seems to come up a lot but I think it loses after 3. cd Nxd 4. e4 17. March 2003, 08:50:18 Subject: Re: How To Look Up a Game......??? MY FRIEND !!!!!! THANK YOU !!!! 17. March 2003, 08:33:55 Subject: Re: How To Look Up a Game......??? The URL would be:
http://www.brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g= with the # on then end of that. All I did was look at a different game: http://www.brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=50423 and remove the number so that you can edit and type in the number of the game you want to find. Blaze 17. March 2003, 08:26:11 Subject: How To Look Up a Game......??? Can anyone Please tell me how to go about looking at a game, when all I have is that game # 14. March 2003, 00:03:24 Subject: In most cases 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4 c3 tends to be the mainline so white can hold the central pawns.
After 4. Nc3 then 4. ... cxd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 gives Black a good advantage. Whereas after 4. c3 , 4. ... cxd4 is a bit petty as after 5. cxd4 White has the central pawns and experience tells me that trying to take advantage of the weak looking a5-e1 diagonal is pretty difficult for black. 13. March 2003, 23:53:48 I'm lloking at 1. e4, e6; 2. d4, d5; 3. e5, c5; 4. Nc3. Of course, 4...cxd is best as it asks questions at once! 4...Nc6 is not any bad move, but it isn't forcing and allows White to try something like 5. Nf3, cxd; 6. Nb5 (or perhaps even e2!). 4...cxd threatens ...dxc3 - so now what? 4. Qxd4, Nc6 with tempo. 13. March 2003, 09:58:03 But what about 4 ... Nc6 then one of your alternatives? It is too early for cxd. White's advantage rests on the central pawns, black's position hinges on the queen side. 13. March 2003, 01:06:28 Subject: Re: Analysis Just 4...cxd and now what?
The interesting alternatives are 4. Nf3 and 4. Qg4, with 4. Bf4 in the hunt, too. Why play c3 when the idea is to keep the blockader on e5? Paging Nimzovitch! 12. March 2003, 22:07:05 Subject: Analysis Does anypne here want to talk analysis? What are your idea for the French Defence after,
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3. This seems to be the mainline, but you could alos have a look at 4. Nc3 which I consider far weaker. 12. March 2003, 03:01:50 Subject: Re: Help found it thanks. 12. March 2003, 02:33:44 Subject: Re: Help If you click the settings link on the left column, and scroll to the bottom, there is a checkbox there called "Notify by e-mail if the opponent makes a move and I am not on-line". If you make sure this in unchecked, it should solve your problem :-) 12. March 2003, 02:05:16 Subject: Help how do i keep from getting an e-mail every time an opponent moves? i can't find the switch. 11. March 2003, 22:54:26 Subject: Re: Ratings i found out that something called FAQ gives a lot of basic information about the site. 11. March 2003, 21:46:33 Subject: Re: Ratings It's actually 4 games for a provisional rating, not 5. 11. March 2003, 21:45:54 Subject: Re: Ratings It's actually 4 games for a provisional rating, not 5. 11. March 2003, 08:57:20 Subject: Re: Ratings to Hannelore. thank you. that is very helpful. 11. March 2003, 08:24:55 Subject: Re: Ratings Four games gives you a provisional rating and after 25 games you will gave an established BKR.
BKR. BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula(*) for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. Click on a game type to get the current list of rated players sorted by their BKR. Formula can be found: http://math.bu.edu/people/mg/ratings/approx/approx.html 11. March 2003, 08:16:35 Subject: Ratings does anybody know offhand how many games it takes to get a rating and how they are calculated?thanks. 10. March 2003, 18:25:51 Subject: so is this the right place to talk about Chess analysis? 9. March 2003, 04:01:16 Subject: Re: Help!!! Kevin. Thanks.
I've been customizing my preferences, and starting to feel comfortable now. 7. March 2003, 06:28:27 Subject: Re: Help!!! Hi there :-)

March 2003, 06:18:54 Subject: Help!!! Help!! I just registered on the site. I've been
playing on Its Your Turn. This is different in some ways and same in some ways. Particularly the tournaments and Fellowships. What is going on with this? I need hints and instruction! Help! I need help!! 20. February 2003, 21:44:27 Subject: Re: Refusal chess Ok, I understand now.Thanks Chess Tiger. 20. February 2003, 09:50:31 Subject: Re: Refusal chess Bluegill, In this varint of chess, the opponent has the choice to either accept the move, or request the first player makes an alternative move.
This is another interesting variant. 14. February 2003, 18:21:04 Subject: Re: Refusal chess I don't understand? How can a player refuse an opponents move as long as it's a legal move? 11. February 2003, 12:47:04  Hi sansone, and welcome! Favourite boards are discussion boards. At the top on every discussion board theres an option to 'add to favourite boards', then it will appear at the bottom of your page. That way you'll know straight away when theres new messages there. Hope that helps? :o)
Theres a question mark next to most stuff like that you can click on for info. 10. February 2003, 21:49:11 Subject: Chess I'm new to this site and trying to learn all the options. "Favourite Boards" for one...I like to play chess and the Tank game. 5. February 2003, 13:29:03 Subject: Re: Refusal chess Excellent! 5. February 2003, 13:11:08 Subject: Re: Refusal chess  Good idea! I will add it to my TODO list :-) 4. February 2003, 15:55:33 Subject: Refusal chess Just an idea for another variant - this is where a player can refuse the opponent's move, and make them play an alternative move.
However, once a refusal has been made, the alternative must be accepted. A player may (or may not) refuse once each move. << < 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 > >> |
