June 2006, 18:27:42 Subject: Brains  I was just wondering: how many Brains does a paying member get for referring someone that eventually buys a lifetime mebership? 26. June 2006, 17:15:20 Subject: Re: time control volant: Only weekends, no vacation days. You can check the FAQ entry on the subject. 8. June 2006, 00:42:52 Subject: Fencer did it again!

May 2006, 09:40:02 Subject: Re: Backgammon apparent piece movement Walter Montego: Actually, if the two opponents are sitting one in front of the other both will be moving their pieces in the same direction. In this case, you'll move them anti-clockwise (for instance) and it will look like your opponent is moving clockwise, though, in his/her point of view, he's moving anti-clockwise as well. However, if the two opponents are sitting side by side, they will indeed have to move each one in opposite directions. This said, it doesn't matter to me which way the board goes, just as long as it stays the same during the whole game  24. May 2006, 10:11:13 Subject: Re: gammon games Buz: It seems that sometime in the past changes have been made regarding that subject: http://brainking.com/pt/News?bms=106 17. May 2006, 00:13:46 Subject: Re: Postings pauloaguia: I'm sure that in the Farsi version of the site that "bug" won't be noticeable ;)
If you want to make a neat test, try writing a few characters using the latin alphabet, then paste some arabic ones and the another latins chars. Then move your cursor around and you'll see it gets all mixed up as well... 17. May 2006, 00:10:49 Subject: Re: Postings Marfitalu: That probably has something to do with the fact that رضا's name is written in a "right-to-left" language 16.

April 2006, 10:16:01 Subject: Re: رضا: I can't see them either. Only the (current?) board position, can't scroll through past moves. Maybe post a bug? 22. April 2006, 23:41:48 Subject: Re: Andersp: Well I've just noticed the troublemaker and sent a message to the 3 online globs at the time. Only now have I come to read this board and undesrtand what is happening but I've already received a response from one of them 17. April 2006, 23:48:05 Subject: Re: Forced Moves richardhunt: Make a search on Feature Requests for "autopass". You'll find plenty of posts on the topic ;) 5. April 2006, 16:35:33 Subject: Re: Question BIG BAD WOLF: That doesn't happen. At least not now 5. April 2006, 16:15:12 Subject: Re: Question BIG BAD WOLF: What has baing a rook got to do with that? Retirement is for everyone, isn't it? 8. February 2006, 19:31:15 Subject: Re: One thing I don't understand about the price rise alanback: Czech Republic is not in the Euro system (yet) 7. February 2006, 18:18:54 Of course, it's not your points that matter, but the ones of the opponents you beat in the tournament. So, if you won those 3 games to opponents that ended up with 2, 3 and 4 points respectively and the draw was to a player who has 1 points, your final SB will be 2 + 3 + 4 + 1/2 = 9,5. Hope it's better explained now 7. February 2006, 18:16:53 Subject: Re: Summertop: The "points" are the points you end the tournament with. If you win 3 games and draw another, you'll have 3 and a half points. These are the points that are used to calculate SB score. 3. February 2006, 23:51:49 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: So... it means that for 28% of the value of a Maharajah membership for one year, you get a lifetime Rook membership? Which has exactly the same benefits... So who'd want to pay for a Maharajah then? 3. February 2006, 19:47:58 Subject: Re: alanback: Just sort the player list by membership level. Black rooks show up among the others... there are 4 total 1. February 2006, 12:11:32 Subject: Re: Pythagoras: I'm not trying to get funnyor anything... but don't you mean:
Probability of getting AT LEAST 6 months for free = 75% ? 1. February 2006, 11:37:51 Subject: Re: Pythagoras: I believe on your second method the odds are more like:
Probability of getting nothing for free = 25% Probability of getting 6 months for free = 50% Probability of getting 1 year for free = 25% 25. January 2006, 10:35:34 Subject: Re: How to use the match ID Fencer: I think Marfitalu is requesting for the match games table to include the current game... maybe with something like "game in progress", instead of the winner name 23. January 2006, 10:53:47 Subject: Re: Mrs.Reeves: From the rules page:
"Crawford rule: If a player reaches a score which is only 1 point away from winning the match, the next game is played as a Crawford round. In a Crawford round, the double cube is not used. If this round is finished and the match is not completed, the doubling cube can be used in all following games of the match." That match is 1 point away from over. So the Crawford rule applies I think 26. December 2005, 01:58:24 Subject: Re: heavenlyemma: If it's a match already in progress or you end up paired with that player in a tournament you really haven't the option not to play him... unless you resign, but it's unfair to have to resign in a game because of missconduct from your opponent. 20. December 2005, 14:20:12 Subject: Interview harley When's the next interview coming up? 28. November 2005, 20:08:55 Subject: Re: Expired memberships Bry: As long as the opponent wouldn't have to play them in just one day time as well... 28. November 2005, 16:53:08 Subject: Re: Modified by pauloaguia (28. November 2005, 16:55:18) wellywales: She gets the message... but why offer a draw? Her automatic vacation days are out. If she doesn't move till the next timeout, she will loose the game.
Anyway, it won't automatically release you from that tournament. Not until all the games in that section are finished. Now, if you PM Fencer and ask him nicelly, maybe he'll get you out of it. (I think you have to finish all the games, though)17. November 2005, 17:08:43 Subject: Re: Ponds rules Matarilevich: I think Marfitalu's question was about the fact that the text doesn' have any reference to "Run in the Dark" ponds, not about not having any pond rules at all ;) 15. November 2005, 19:39:16 Subject: Re: Invite Dryznik: Just look better... it's hard to look in that list since it's not sorted, but it's there alright... 10. November 2005, 15:23:50 Subject: Re: wellywales: Lots of self esteem ;) 7. November 2005, 19:39:56 Subject: Re: Silly question? dams: It means that there are 22x games with the same characteristics waiting (same challenger, color, period, etc).
If you accept one of those invites, it will decrese (to 21x in your example) 3. November 2005, 14:20:18 Subject: Stairs again... 1) Stairs can be created for all types of games on BrainKing. Your membership level determines how many Stairs you can enter:
Brain Pawn - 1 Stairs Brain Knight - 7 Stairs Brain Rook or higher - unlimited So, what happens when a knight becomes a pawn, for instance? And what happens to the stairs games (s)he's playing? 8. October 2005, 11:29:52 Subject: Re: How to start a tournament? AtomicGuy: But you can enter a tournament as a pawn. Just go to the Tournaments section and select one.
As a pawn you can enter only one at a time and you cannot create them but you can still have some of the fun ;) 29. September 2005, 12:10:25 Subject: Re: Fencer: still 40 or more chess variants? I hope some other game variants show up before those 40, especially original variants.
Chess is starting to take over. 
But at this rate, the 100 game barrier will be broken sometime early next year. Then my dream of being rated in all of them will finally be impossible, and I'll stop worrying about that  27. September 2005, 16:44:54 Subject: Re: One observation about BKR alanback:
Or that they know how to choose their opponents. Or that the site is attracting better players Or that you have a grudge that you're number 6 and not in top 5 ;) 20. September 2005, 13:20:02 You should have dclined the invitation ;)
Well, then what are you in for? 20. September 2005, 13:15:21 Subject: Re: ArtfulDodger: On the top left corner of your screen you'll see a red (1), meaning you have a game to play... just click the one and we'll go from there ;) 20. September 2005, 01:31:10 Subject: Re: Andre Faria: I always use PayPal, never had any problems with it...
I believe pgomes had some trouble with his subscription as well and he was trying to use Moneybookers... he ended up directing his payment through me, if you want to do the same just PM me... 15. September 2005, 01:49:32 Subject: New maharajah It's one day too late, but congrats to Pedro for winning the Maharajah tournament!  14. September 2005, 15:12:54 Subject: Re: (at least I hope that's how it works )14. September 2005, 15:12:33 Subject: Re: Princess Alison: Go to "Paid Membership" and on the right you'll see Membership: PrincessAllison. Just click the "Change" button and select some other player's name. 25. August 2005, 19:24:27 Subject: Re: Wow, 25 new PAID memberships in August! ArtfulDodger: 25? I count 35... 20. August 2005, 13:43:59 Subject: Re: new mem help please rtv:
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (just maybe with a different opponent ;) ) On the menu you can go to the Waiting Games area and choose one of the open invitations there. Get a big ranking in a game type. Then maybe people will invite you instead ;) Make friends and play against them... Exctintion chess isn't my favourite game but I'll accept any invitation I'm offered ;) 20. August 2005, 10:30:07 Subject: Re: Modified by pauloaguia (20.
