Otsikko: Re:
Nothingness: Honestly, there would have to be some interestingly bad playing for that situation to arise, I imagine. But I suppose it could happen between people new to the game, or just kind of "randomly" playing.

I personally have never seen that happen. In my opinion, the way the rule is written here,

"One of the players still has some own pieces at his/her yard and made more than 30 (for 8x8 version) or 50 (for 10x10 version) moves. This player loses the game. The player also loses the game if he/she moves one of his/her pieces back to own yard after the 30th (50th) move. This rule prevents the players to block own yard and avoid the opponent to move his/her pieces there."

In looking around the internet a little bit, I get the impression that this is a "newer" rule, since sites like this came about. One place I read that normally, in face to face competition, moves aren't even counted. (Which makes sense)

As with many games, there are different philosophies too. Some rules state that once you are in the opposite yard, you can move within that yard, but can't move out of it. We CAN move out of it here. Another site I play at has a "forced" move rule, where if your opponent is completely out if his yard, and you still have pieces in your yard, you are forced to move out. (Regardless of move #)

I would think that temporarily going into the yard, in the middle of a series of jumps would be ok, but not ending there. I suppose the only way to know how it is HERE would be to try it, or ask Fencer how he programmed it. I don't think I've ever had a game get to that move #, so I've never seen it.

Otsikko: Moderator Needed.
Would you like to take on a little extra responsibility at Brainking?

If so, this discussion board needs a new moderator.

If you visit Brainking daily and understand the User Agreeement and want to help out, please PM me or any other Global Moderator (see Brainking Staff page), and let one of us know you might be interested.

It is not necessary to be a Halma expert to moderate the board. It is helpful if you play the game, but not a requirement.

Otsikko: Brave Eagles Halma
I have something on-topic!

Do you love to play Halma? Would you be interested in joining Brave Eagles Halma fellowship?

We feature the following:

  • Official fellowship tournaments
  • Fast, mini tournaments always available for sign up
  • 3 sets of stairs for whatever playing speed you prefer.
  • Teams of both halma games for Team tournaments, and team vs. team challenges
  • A discussion board for Halma discussion/tips and for finding players for friendly games.


    I hope you will consider joining.

    Thanks, and have a nice day!

    hmm... if you use it to access the internet, it does..

    lol, I would love to have both of you in there.. But it was decided a while back (with input from members) that the fellowship should remain for WebTV users only. It was ammended that anyone who uses a set top box of any sort (like NTL in Britain) could join.

    Well, the post itself really wasn't! lol... but my question in the 2nd paragraph could cause an off topic conversation to start..

    but this one certainly is! :-P

    I have been guilty of neglecting that fellowship in the past. I was awfully busy, and my free time was more concentrated on the Club WebTV fellowship.
    A month or so ago, I decided to get Brave Eagles back on its feet. Added 10x10 to the fellowship. (At one time, I believe there was a seperate fellowship for each.. Back when they were originally KM fellowships)

    The game oriented fellowships don't seem to be doing well. Has anyone noticed that??? I wonder why. The non-game oriented fellowships are quite active. I have a heck of a time getting people to participate in Club WebTV and Brave Eagles Halma.. It's always the same small core of people who participate. Thank goodness for them! lol..


    Not meaning to go off topic... :-)

    That 10x10 one should start in an hour or 2.. I changed the start date to Septmember since there are 4 people.. It should be set up and started the next time the system checks. It wll accept a 5th person, if one more person in the fellowship wants to join in.

    Otsikko: Brave Eagles Halma fellowship
    In the Brave Eagles Halma fellowship, there is always a mini, fast tournament of 8x8 and 10x10 set up and ready to start as soon as 4 or 5 people are signed up! As soon as it is started, a new one is created.

    :-D

    Those who aren't members of the fellowship can visit the link in this post and request membership.

    Hrqls.. once you play the game more, you will not find that sort of feature necessary..
    I think a number like that would be misleading. It is different with backgammon, as the number of pips remaining is quite straight forward.

    Yes, the rule is as follows:

    "How to finish a game
    The game is finished if one of the following conditions in fulfilled:
    One of the players moved all his/her pieces to the opponent's yard. This player wins the game.
    One of the players still has some own pieces at his/her yard and made more than 30 (for 8x8 version) or 50 (for 10x10 version) moves. This player loses the game. The player also loses the game if he/she moves one of his/her pieces back to own yard after the 30th (50th) move. This rule prevents the players to block own yard and avoid the opponent to move his/her pieces there."

    Otsikko: Re: draw in Halma 10x10
    Mangue... I just woke up and am having a hard time picturing what you are saying..
    I personally have never had a draw in any Halma game, and don't really see how it would be ever possible. (Unless it's just a decision between the 2 players.)
    If you look here, you will see that at brainking only .2% or so of the halma 10x10 games have ended in draw.

    It is important to remember that it is NOT a requirement to jump... so there is ALWAYS a move available..
