tippyc: How you could even play 7-12,1-4 with a piece on the bar?

What happened to the Laptop auction?

emmett: Well, there are only 6 Star Wars movies...

I also don't like the selection

I would like to see some strange games in the next batch, along with popular ones, think about Grasshopper or Crazy Screen Chess.

rod03801: O well, I would like to see some strange games in the next batch, along with popular ones, think about Grasshopper or Crazy Screen Chess.

Eriisa: In 2 win matches the same problem stands.

Gordon Shumway: Lets say we have an Eliminator 8.

The seeding would be:

1vs8
5vs4
3vs6
7vs2

In fact a second best player you will always play Black, as first rated player you'll play White all the times.

Great. I requested this feature for in some games one player hass an advantage. For example in a Mancala elimination tournament always the highest rated player wins.

WellyWales: Crazy Snoopy... haha, finally :D!!! Congratulations!!!!

Interesting, a friend of me already wants me to ake his account for a while, but now I can't be his agent/delegate/substitute/representative/proxy/assistant, for it won't be allowed to have a clone account or anything like that.

coan.net: I could not see the Auction's results, for the light bulb disappeared.

Who has won the Auction?

Gabriel Almeida: I've got also that problem, clicking faster the submit button than thinking. But on the other hand, at real life Chess tournaments the rules are clear, touching a piece === moving that piece, if allowed.

I do not like to win for time outs, but to play the long forgotten games over goes too far.

There's another problem, Extinction Chess still hasn't a colored border. It looks just like ordinary Chess, but last night I lost because I thought I could trade queens. I would like to play those games over, if my opponent would agree :(. And of course a disco flashing popup that says: ""WARNING THIS IS AN EXTINCTION CHESS GAME!!!!"" or a colored border is enough. :).

coan.net: Forgot about that. But a BG game will ever end.

Family Man: Do you have a game number, because theoretically, this is impossible.

oldhamgirl: It's the auction of the R&D laptop, along with A BLACK ROOK MEMBERSHIP!!

Regarding the third party banner ads which occasionally appear on BrainKing, it seems that the problem of bad advertising partners is more important than it seemed to be. In order to protect the BrainKing users from any possible threats of this kind, I have made the final decision to remove all advertisements which are not under our full control from all BrainKing pages tomorrow, instead of the end of this month. It really makes no sense to keep them, since they bring much more disadvantages than advantages (if any).

[/Quote mode]

Nice one, Fencer! This will be good for the site, annoying ads (pop up type or something like that) can sometimes scare people away instead of keep them at BK and read the ad.

Fencer: Well, with almost 6000 finished games (the number of Ludo games compensate the number of moves in HBG games) should I've made just 10 moves a game. That's not many (due to time outs of opponents I think).

joshi tm 49647 moves made

Whaaaat! Am I really in the top 50 of most moves made at BK?

Thinking about that: How about the statistic of Public Board Posting?

emmett: No, stay from my weekend. Usally I can't play during the weekend.

BIG BAD WOLF: I like the dragon. Let us call him Fluffy :)

What is the purpose of that red dragon?

BIG BAD WOLF:

76: Anti Ataxx
77: Small Ludo
78: Gothic Froglet (diagonal jumps)
79: Smal Froglet 8x8
80: Large Froglet 16x16
81: Chinese Checkers
82: International Checkers
83: Ataxx 9x9
84: More of Mancala
85: Anti Brain War Would that be interesting?
10 more?

Fencer: What's the May Action? 250 new games at the beginning of June? :):)

Vendolas: We've got a special tournament board http://brainking.nl/nl/Board?bc=22

BURDUFG: You are welcome :).

And yes, better not play rated no-time games with unknown players.

Quote from the FAQ:

Although I had finished a game, my BKR did not change! Is that an error?

No, this is not an error. There are several situations which can be a reason of that:

* Both players did not perform at least two moves. It can happen when one player loses the game by a timeout at the very beginning.

I 'm very sure.

Edit:

Also, Paying members can delete games that have just 2 moves played.

BURDUFG: Since there is no move made, just resign. You'll lose the game, but no BKR points. You will lose BKR after the second move played, and then resign.

Fencer: According to the blog, more toys to play with are always fun :)

beach: I don't experience anything like that. BK runs very good over here.

Fencer, thank you for brining this little gem to BrainKing.

Fencer: Since the red code will no longer appear anymore, can a black code still act as a red one (if you're extremely lucky)?

nabla: Because I´m member of 50 fellowships. That would be total chaos.

Fencer: I know there wer user comlplaing about that, but now I can't see if in main fellowships forums are new messages.

Why is that? Please bring the numbers back!

Fencer: By the way, will prize tournament name be bold-fonted again to easy differ them from normal tournaments?

Fencer: Maybe you could combine Action Points in May with the bulb system; get twice (or more) times action points for the time the light bulb is active :)

Fencer: Well, still a Black Rook Action! I thought that was only in 2006 :D BK users, a Black Rook membership is really worth the money.

Fencer: hahha, lol and what is half of infinity then?

How much is 100% of a Black Rook membership? :P

Anyone: Where the heck are you talking about?!? :S

MadMonkey: Referring to the rules! Yay! the rules always boss. If a pawn is to be promoted (would advance to the last row), the player can move it even if the die does not show 1. However, he can only promote it to the piece chosen by the die roll - for example, if 3 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to a bishop only. If 1 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to any piece.

Oceans Apart: Should be an April 1st joke or something like that.

Fencer: Can you write the Grasshopper game code so that if neither player can make a move, the game ends as a draw?

Fencer: Luckily, I do not see any ads :)

Why is in the new castle layout the Prize tournament name not bold-fonted?

gogul: Lol, like summer over winter :)

MadMonkey: Well, that's why I turned AP's off.

MadMonkey: If one of us Black Rooks win, they should make a prize tournament or pond with the prize from the action.

Fencer, if I have turned auto pass on in the Game filter Settings page, will all my running games against opponents with the same settings also include auto pass?

rabbitoid: well... ehm... What use are action points anyway? LOL.
