alanback: It's not my fault they don't read the warning messages.

pgt: Now I am really scared.

pgt: Your opponent DID realize because when you click on the "resign" link, you'll see a warning message showing how many points the winner would receive. Try it.

All right, I've fixed the doubling cube position. It is shown on the possessor's side which is the player who accepted the double offer.

playBunny: The 16) was always working. Or is there some problem with backgmmon matches?

The first doubling cube tournament.

rod03801: Yes. It might be interesting with the anti backgammon.

Hrqls: Please try it now.

All right, you can create your own games with doubling cube now, just use the new option "x points match with doubling cube" when you create a game.
It is not officially released because I didn't update the rules yet, and it's not possible to create tournaments with a doubling cube at the moment. But you can play :-)

WhiteTower: Tavli, sure. There is a small problem with Plakoto because pieces of both colours can be placed on the same position, which requires to create many new pictures for these combinations. But from a programmer's point of view, the model should be easy to implement.

Hrqls: No separated BKR. All backgammon variants will be extended by an option of doubling cube games. It's better to keep it simple instead of making each backgammon variant (I want to add more of them later) twice.

Thank you everyone :-) I think it's been already tested enough, so I can release it later today.

Carl: Wait for an invitation.

BIG BAD WOLF: I meant "any volunteers who are not already testing since yesterday".

Any volunteers who would test this option with me? I don't want to release it until at least several games are played and most of the situations checked.

playBunny: He was banned from the site a long time ago due to several reasons.

wayney had been banned from the site several months ago. Time has come to do the same with BrainKing04 [both of them are LongJohn, of course].

Pythagoras: That would be really helpful if you write the description.

frolind: I don't know any formats. Someone must give me a description.

frolind: Yes.

Should be fixed.

Wait a minute.

AbigailII: It's in effect immediately even for running games. It would be too complicated to separate them.

alanback: Right, I changed/fixed the model.

I've just added these two points to the rules:

• If it is possible, both dice must be used. It means that some pieces can become "frozen" in certain positions because making a move with these pieces would create a situation where the second dice couldn't be used.
• If only one die can be used, the one with the higher number must be chosen.

Please let me know if it really works. I hope I've fixed this issue at last but I could easily overlook some special cases :-)

ajtgirl: Such things happen but the backup system should be faulty anyway :-) However, since this board is for backgammon discussion only, it might be better to continue on General Chat.

BIG BAD WOLF: There was a bug in the timeout checker, it should be fixed now. If such anomaly occurs again, please report it to the Bug Tracker.

martinbr: If you are referring to a score in backgammon games with a doubling cube, you must wait until it's implemented here.

Zorro: I don't think you need books for that game :-)

Stevie: I wanted to run a small test. How many people would find out about it by accident?

Hrqls: No more.

Yes. But I must modify the system first, there are too many variants of some games.

Why, would you prefer Tavli instead?

Play!

BIG BAD WOLF: The page says "A doubling cube is used". Would it be interesting even without it, just like the current BK backgammon games?

No, I did it but after a database server crash, I had to regenerate the histories and these BKRs appeared again. Anyway, they should be out now.

To correct errors caused by timeouted and restored games.

Fixed. I apologize. I had to delete corrupted moves.

I will add medium size ASAP.

Later. Working on 10 features at the same time [including this one].

And what is the correct value for a man on the bar?

I would like to know how I should count the points correctly, can you help me? :-)

Will be done. Soon :-)

It should be fixed. Sorry.

About Nackgammon - it is pretty possible, I've just got a start position picture somewhere and maybe it is not correct. I'll fix it.
Dice swapping - click on "Swap dice" link under the board.
Lobster: Hey, I didn't know about this rule! Thanks. I'll fix it.

Please be patient, I cannot do everything at once.
