Congratulations Antje!!!

I have created this weekend's "live" tournaments. These tournaments will start every 4 hours, so that there should be a convenient one for any time zone or lifestyle. Each player will have 1 hour total, for moves. So this tournament will be over within 2 hours. (A bit longer possibly, as the system doesn't check constantly for time outs)

Obviously, all games may not be playable within these time constraints (Anti backgammon, for example), so choose carefully. If there ends up being interest in 2 hour per player alternate tournaments for these longer games, I will start those. Just PM me.

So, any weekend that you have a block of time available and feel like a quick tournament, check out the tournament list and maybe you will find one, convenient for you. Or go to this link to see all my "live" ones in one place:

Any game with at least 4 people signed up (maximum 5), will be started at the listed time.

Have fun!

If you reckon that a chess player is cheating (ie using a computer program), is there any way of avoiding that player in tournaments?

Good grief - Antje won http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=60060

Well done!

Mathematically, there is no way for GuineaPig´s Club & HOME to each finish anywhere other than first place in their respective sections in the current anti-chess team tournament. Why not start round two now? Why make us wait??

Pawnme's favorites
Chess, Loop Chess, Anti Chess, Three Checks Chess, Atomic Chess, Janus Chess, Cylinder Chess, Berolina Chess, Grand Chess, Los Alamos Chess, Czech Checkers, Line4, Spider Line4, Backgammon, Nackgammon, Hyper Backgammon, Reversi 6x6, and Amazons. Lots to choose from. 4 day, standard vacation. Maximum 5 player per section so no one has a whole lot of games starting at once.

Vikings: Ahhh - got it - just had to read ALL the fine print (too much like work) - thanks for your help :)

srnity: the creator of a tounrement is in charge of who he wants in it, he may remove anyone he wants,he may have a good reason that has nothing personal to do with you, sometimes it's because a persons ratings have changed since signing up, in this case it's because you are not a rook, it's writen in the game profile, he just didn't set it up so you couldn't join

Question for whomever - I signed up for a tournie and was "removed from list by creator" - it's acceptable to do that with an open tournie - in other words, to pick who plays and who doesn't???.....

Did everyone see the new Rook Prize Tourney? It starts in a week.

It is important to remember, that after changing the start time on the tournament, there is still another hour before the games are actually started.

Luke Skywalker: I'm not going to try it from work. I don't download anything personal to my work PC. I will just play on in the evenings and cut down on my number of games so I don't keep opponents waiting for a long time.

Luke Skywalker: that link works :)

SandyH: This is the link:
http://tor.eff.org/index.html.en
(copied dirctly from firefox's address bar, so if it doesn't work it must be something on your side)

SandyH: same here...not displayed lOL

Luke Skywalker: the page cannot be displayed

SandyH: the solution: tor.eff.org

This is an apology that from now on I will be playing slower than before. My work firewall has blocked Brainking and I can't play during the day anymore. I am devastated :(

eagle eye: Yeah, I think so.

Thad: So I just have to ask a tournament creater, right?

eagle eye: You can make it start by changing the time to yesterday (or 15 minutes ago, etc.). Give the system 10 minutes to catch it and it should begin.

Is it possible to start a tournament if the maximum number of player is reached or it will start on the start date?

I have created a tournament for the three great chess games:
Western Chess, Shogi & XiangQi.

Everyone is welcome to play.

Winner imsoaddicted. Well done.

Nothingness: it counts as 1 game on BKR

when you are playing in the finals of a tourney vs a higher ranked opp. and you lose 3 games and win 0 to that person. will your rating be affected as it is 1 loss or 3? If it is looked at as 3 wins. Than each time you beat them the next game becomes worth less rating points? so you could lose lot of rating points if you go up 2-0 and end up winning 3-2it might actually cause you to lose more points than gain, even though you beat them. So it might look something like this 22pts for win 1. then win two might be worth 10pts then win 3 might be worth 2. But if i lose game 3 it might cost me 70pts which might not be able to be made up! coudl someone clarify this!

redfrog: you can change members of the team so you should be able to change captains

anyone know if the captain position in a team can be switched without impacted the current team tourney?

Thad: You would have to ask Fencer as to why

Vikings: Aren't team tournament games tournament games?

that is correct, no team tourneys are

In the selection box, where I can choose which game to go to next as I submit a move, my team Pente games are not marked as tournament games.

The first Hyper21 tournament is getting ready to start in a few hours with 32 players signed up - yea!

Since it so popular, I've created the second tournament

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=12092&tri=68060&trnst=0

It is a Hyper Backgammon tournament using the cube to 21 points. Since Hyper Backgammon can be a quick game, it is perfect to use the 21 point cube with it. Open to everyone. Set to start around November 20th. Good Luck!

"We're singing in the rain...."

Backgammon just for experts

I do too. I've had packages take a month to get through Customs going to Canada, but I've never known problems with letters.

Oh dear that's not great. Hope it turns up!

furbster: Well its like this. Mike mailed the payment to me from Canada (I'm in USA) on Oct 4, and it hasn't arrived yet.

I know mail is slower than a snail getting though, but I think its gotten lost!

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=8577&trnst=0 nearly 3 weeks over the sign up time now?

Cacøεtħεs
