To extrapolate, what an interesting word! To conclude out of the behavior of a funktion inside a mathematical sphere on it's behavior outside of this sphere. Hmmm, so the breaks on my bike probably won't work to use them on my energyneutral powercar.

Actually, FIDE or any other organization has absolutely no authority on BrainKing. We have our own rules.

Subject: Re: Rated games

pauloaguia: How good are you at cgi scripts? I used to compile statistics on the tournament games at ItsYourTurn by downloading web pages and extracting the necessary information from them. I wrote a couple of scripts in perl that automated most of the process. In this case, I see the graph page has a URL of the form The">http://brainking.com/en/BKRGraph?u=2741&tp=23

The only thing you would have to change in the URL to download different graphs would be the "tp=nnn". You could either make a data set of all the game types you play, or just download graphs for every type of game that is played. If you wanted to you could then extract the line showing "Counted Games", and print out a report showing counted games w/t/l for each game type.

pauloaguia: You can look at your BKR graph.

For example, your graph for Amazon Chess: http://brainking.com/en/BKRGraph?u=9839&tp=58

25 completed games, but 21 counted games (BKR Rated) - listed above the graph

pauloaguia

Subject: Rated games

Is there anywhere on BK where we can see how many rated games we have finished of a certain game type?
On my profile there's a table with all the victories, losses and draws of the games I've finished, but that's for counted games. That is, it includes games that were counted but not rated, and games that have finished before 2 moves were made.

So, is there anywhere I can see how many rated games I finished for a certain game type?

kintori: please take this discussion to the general chat board, or to the board inside the fellowship.

this board is about brainking and its system, the problem you describe isnt with brainking but with the players. a draw offer can be made, a draw offer can be accepted, wether or not a player does one of those things is up to the players and not a decision for the brainking system.

any further posts on this board about this subject will be removed
