CaoZ KM, no disrespect was intended. I wish I could afford to support the site the way you have. You are kinda my brainking hero :)

There is open sign up for KM Open Chess Surgery for those who are interested.

I see there are 37 posts that showed up here while I was teaching my Gothic Chess classes.

If you believe your post does not belong here, please feel free to remove it voluntarily.

If there is something you would like to discuss privately with another member, such as Reversi, Othello, variants...exercise your right to do so as well.

I will start by removing my post about reversi.

I am requesting members and friends of the KM don't post on this DB regarding this stuff and leave the DB for its intended purpose.

No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

Although as kinda erotic stimulation it would only suite a perverted one.

ED, Reversi or Othello has to many history and variants and was invented before you and me was born and there is a lot of great players in all the world,and they have an International federation that deserves respect after all.

Connor, as well as some others, might be interested in looking at this link...

If you scroll way to the bottom of the first list, which is the list of those who played Chinook, the world's strongest checker program for years, on its most difficult setting, you will see...


86. Ed Trice, October 21, 1996
87. Carl "The Gloc" Reno, October 21, 1996
88. Richard Fortman, August 30, 1996
89. Valtas "The Great Huck-A-Buck" Hockenbury, June 10, 1996
90. Carl "The Gloc" Reno, March 31, 1996
91. James "Too Slick" Davis, January 27, 1996
92. Valtas "The Great Huck-A-Buck" Hockenbury, January 27, 1996
93. James "Too Slick" Davis, January 17, 1996

I was the fifth person to defeat Chinook, back in October of 1996. Just to remind everyone,in 1996 there did not exist any program that was nearly as strong as Chinook. This was a time when 100 MHz computers were top of the line, and hard drives were typically half a gig in size.

I beat one of the strongest checker programs of all time, and I was in the company of some truly great players.

I don't need a computer program to assist me to play. I beat the best of the best.

Now look at the "explosion' of names on the list in later years as programs and hardware advances made them more formidable.

Funny how so few had victories in 1996 when I played, but there were many more in later years.

Sunfire played a very good game, and looks very like taking the next one too, as does ronco in my games.

Whats more amazing is that I can still post here LMAO
I still got more spaces to fill in my Reversi Tournys, please sign up.
Be good if the Gothster could join in, cos I dont think hes got a programme to win with :o)

We're talking about that on the Tournament Talk DB too.

Cept we have more people reading it there.

It looks like gooner KM and ronco have both shell shocked Pedro Martínez with two quick wins in the Aragon's Checkered Past tournament. And SunFire KM gets a quick point against higher rated Aragon in section 2. Still no points on the board in section 1 at this early stage.

what's with the doubles??

posts seem to have disappeared. I wonder if that's the glitch (or an itch of somekind) that people were talking about?

Yes, it’s a great fellowship and it’s filling up fast. Pretty soon this old place will probably be pretty quiet so get over here quick. Lots of tournament talking without the buncombe.

See you there!!!!

The Tournament begins Friday!!

When is the start date for this Rob? Isn't it already past?

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction
of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their
cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

A new fellowship has been created to discuss tournaments. Please message me for an invite.

Less than 5 days remain to sign-up for "The Gothic Realm's" 1st ever tournament, so sharpen your lances and come enjoy the fun!

Thad, perhaps we should respect religious emphasis about private life.
For the topic: "Wishbone Anyone?" could be a good title for Dark Chess. :-)

I am not sure to what you are referring. My guess is that Fencer moderated something?

Perhaps you should discuss this with him privately.

I've created another prize tournament.
8x10 battles!

I will have to improve the board system.
And now, please, let's discuss tournament topics only.

for your explanation.

When it was first posed as a question, I do not think anyone knew what was the exact cause. It had not been observed previously.

But when messages are hidden, the counter increments external to the board, but the messages will not appear.

We all know this now, and nobody, myself included, was aware of this yesterday. I thought maybe a poster deleted the posts and that could account for the discrepancy.

(also 16. November 2003, 19:24:52)

the posts are not deleted. He sees them. They are hidden.

I've heard also, Mister Trice will have
(why for goodness must it be italic, Dano?)
an innocent explanation for his false assert,
when yesterday this gentleman stated here,
Herforder himself had deleted three posts.

A post off-topic and, belonging to the jokes-board
whereto it even might be pasted, one of these days.

sLaMdAnCe13Km masturbates every time he copies then re-posts something that I post in the Flame Pit discussion board.

GothicInventor The environment is changing 15. November 2003, 10:33:17
In case you have not noticed. Everyone has been given a clear slate at ths point in time. Dano was warned about his posts, which were unwarranted, and now he is gone.

He keeps making mention of manipulated posts. I am not sure what he means by that. I occasionally make typo corrections or punctuation changes at the tournament board, if this is manipulation, so be it.

Yes, I posted that I would help everyone playing Dano in Gothic Chess to win. I was letting off steam, but I really meant it when I said it. Logistically, does anyone really believe this was possible? In fact, nobody took me up on my offer, as those who were members of the fellowship recall. They all wanted to try and give him a drubbing by their own hands, win, lose, or draw.

I posted it mostly because I knew it would agitate dano when it leaked, so the spies helped me immensely, and I thank you for it.

It was an impossible task to do (play every move for every opponent against dano) but knowing the way his paranoia is manifest, I knew it would send him over the deep end.

So what had I actually done?

I made a post, then took no action on it. How many times a day do we each do similar things? You see a beautiful woman walking down the street, do you think "I wonder if she likes doing Crossword Puzzles?" If you see an armored car making a cash pickup at a store, do you think "I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets?"

No, we have fleeting thoughts about getting her in the sack, and tossing bags of money into the back seat and peeling off down the road. (Or maybe peeling off down the road with the girl in the back seat, and sleeping with the bags of money, whatever you prefer!)

The point being my previous fellowship was created for those to let off steam about dano, much as this one is most likely geared at letting steam off about me.

But does anyone really think I crashed the server just so dano, who won his section in the $3000 Gothic tournament, would not be able to continue on? Did he really think I was making all of those moves against him and he kept beating me game after game?

Folks, you have to face the fact that he was at least a little off his rocker. If nothing else, this must be conceeded.

The server crashed. That's all that happened.

A new policy is in place. It is one we can all live with. When I make a post about how the 4 kings in the deck of cards are not really modeled after those in antiquity that have permeated the culture, then someone calls me a prick for doing so, a line has been crossed. It was uncalled for.

Even now, I could of had this person banned, but I elected not to do so.

No more warnings will ever be issued, as the policy is any direct insult, in a private or public forum, will result in an immediate banning.

If it cannot be discussed without name calling, do us all a favor, and save yourself some keystrokes.

If you have read the hidden message I placed in this post, you know which 4 people will be banned next because they will most likely make snide remarks about this post. This is what I am hoping for. This is the bait.

he had to cope with all kind of deceitful attempts already.
hardened webbie, not fat, very low reaction time, elephante memory with
almost total recall - it's really senseless to try yet, Mr.

ask mrloupcity what happened to HIS messages.
mine are still here - completely. we know the liar.
