This game is pretty interesting to play. But due to the border I can't easyly see it IS an Extinction Chess game. This game requires a total different strategy, and it is the 103,768,761.5 th time I played a foul move what should have been a normal chess move, but caused trouble or a directly game loss. Please help me by adding a border color for this game.

Fencer: Jup, But when your not in the chart at page 1, you see still your results.

Fencer: I cannot see my total number of finished games here

When looking at a Finished games statistics page, if you don´t have enough games finished, your name will not appear in that list. It would be nice when your score is visible, as on the avarage BKR and total BKR Statistic page.

Fencer: Wow, that's a nice feature.

grenv: I don't know. I do not use Vista unless I have to in future. I don't like to pay Microsoft $500,- by now or something.

grenv: I think it's a problem with your browser/pc. I had the same problems here some time ago, but they disappeared.

redfrog: Or you could use empty holes as 9th color :)

pgt: I don't understand. The border of the backgammon board is white here. (That from CBG is the purple used foor Loop Chess)

nabla: Efficient? Well, that cost a computer just one split second more to define!!

mctrivia: I second that. Even if the winner of a section is decided, e.g. nobody of that section can get more points/SB points tham him/her, a tournament can go on.

nabla: Now YOUR request became buried, oh my! :)

fitzmertz: But that's a total luck game! You won't have a choice anywhere!

fitzmertz: http://www.biffleys.com/Dice/soccerdicegame.htm

When designing a knock-out tournament, players are sorted on their rating, tennis style, so the two best players can't match each other until the final.

Example for 8 players, call them 1-8, lower number has higher BKR.

First second third round:
1-8 - w(1-8)-w(4-5) v
4-5 ^ ---> Final.
3-6 v
2-7 - w(3-6)-w(2-7) ^

It would be cool if the tournament desginer could choose for a random position of players each round, like in soccer.

Example:

1-2 ---> the 4 winners are randomly paired up.
3-6 ^
4-8 v
5-7 --->

According let us say the best win, so 1,3,4 and 5 play the second round.

1-4
3-5
And so on.....

Gordon Shumway: You are totally right.

Fencer: Thanks! Luckily, there really ARE features to implement in just 5 minutes.

Fencer, could you please create a link ''Show only ponds created by me'' in the ponds section? Thanks!

MadMonkey: No, only Dice Chess should have a luck factor.

MadMonkey: Or, maybe another forced move for Black. (Say, play a Rook at turn 2)

Fencer, can you also remove inactive users from the statistics like herre? http://brainking.com/nl/Statistics?p=3

BIG BAD WOLF: Or you could....

1. Choose board size; 6x6,8x8,8x10,10x10
2. Choose two or three rules (or at random....)

BIG BAD WOLF: So crazy screen Grand Loop Chess is not possibel?

Fencer: How about seperate BKR's for cubed Backgammon matches? Since the Backgammon game is so different with the cube...

Pason69: Good idea, count my vote!

pauloaguia: Lol nice one :)

emmett: Maybe the list should be cleaned up by somekind of mod....

emmett: The fellowships are sorted by date.

How about a Move and go the next game of this game type with the most moves... to finish games quicklier?

dresali: The swap rule should be done after Black's 2nd turn.

When creating a f/s tournament, BK offers a default name, and if you want to change it, you must change it for each different language. This is quite annoying.

grenv: I agree to BBW. If all different rules have colored borders, why not Extinction Chess?

pgt: Maybe BrainKing should introduce some people that supervise the dictionaries.

BIG BAD WOLF: That was because the name ''Scrabble'' was licensed.

BIG BAD WOLF: But that game should be English? Or could everyone choose a language when creating a game of Scabrain?

emmett: I heard Fencer is going to change the rules a bit to make it more to fair-game... I don't know what.

jurek: Yup,that's right. I would lose by a half point, I saw.

I think some BK staff should be also a Go-Judge, a player who can ''judge'' the mark dead stone procedure. In this game Go 13x13 (joshi tm - faith) I'm having trouble because my opponent refuses to mark her stones as dead.

hexkid: If you click the ''Show only finished games'' from <insert opponent> with me, the the number beside of Ongoing games already shows the number of games youre playing with that opponent.

Why, players can rach a frightingly BKR of approximate 2800 at the game of MiniShogi and the first BKR's at the games of Ataxx and Assimilation weren't that high?

MadMonkey: By the way, where are the MiniShogi and Ataxx stairs?

How about an option; Move and go to the next game with the same tournament name?

grenv, tonyh: But who decides a game would be called as 'very lost'? A very lost backgammon game could be a less lost game when you manage to hop out of the opponent's home area or hop a stone out. This can save points in a Cubed match.

And alas, in real life you play never on, but it will be the loser who resigns the game and it won't be the victor who wants to claim victory.

By the way, what does it matter for you that someone wastes weeks to make their 'meaningless' moves? You have UNLIMITED games to play, enjoy a Brain Rook Membership :). Ok, a pawn will not enjoy those players, but those Gammon games will end, happily ever after.

tonyh: I don't think you can claim a game. If you are playing a game of Backgammon on a real board against a real opponent, would you go away with the words: I would win? That's nonsense!

Oh, and by the way, a game of Maharadjah Chess or Horde Chess with that 'claim victory button' would be very quickly then.

But there is a difference; there are Go-players who (when the board is full and doing a move would be useless) play stones in their own areas just for the AP's. I have also a game running where my opponent would lose but he just won't give up for his AP's (I think).

Back to my opinion: Just when you would win, give a 'good game' phrase that you would win, and don't claim anything cause that would reduce the friendly 'atmosphere' here at BK.

PS: I always resign a very lost game of Gammon, Go or anything else because I hate to play further in those (already lost) games.

PS 2: I've also a Go game running where my opponent still rejects my ''dead stone offer'' cause he would lose then. But I am really right. What can I do? (Maybe this is for the Go Board instead)

imsoaddicted: Why is that? Collecting AP's is cool, but banner aren't.

Hi I just won a tournament with random games, but I can't see it anywhere in my Finished game Statistics. Can this be fixed?

What about these:

Fellowship statistics(eg number of played games, won games etc.)
Cylyndrical Checkers which eliminate the strong sides of the board.
And a colored border for Extinction Chess.

I think there should be an option where I can choose how many games I want to pklay as maximum. I'm still trying to lower my number of running games, but nothing works, they just keep on coming. So if there would be an option which limits me to 250 games (or something else) (and I cannot make new games, sign in to new tournaments, etc.) that would be fine.

CryingLoser: I'm now also playing as some kind of 'specialist'. I don't like this title, I really want to do something about this, but I became too busy.

How about Bunker and Hostage Chess and Dutch checkers?

Wouldn´t it be a good idea to have another ranking list? One that states 0-100. At 100 you are the best and at 86, 86% of the rated players has a lower rating. I would like to see something like this cause I´m ranked a whoppy Forty-Seven at Legan Chess, but that's last place!
