Bernice: THanks for your suggestions, I'll write them down :=)

I have been viewing the player list and have noticed that people have joined way back when and have never played...SUGGESTION ONLY...put a time limit on how long they have to play their first game..and if they havent played..delete their profiles...makes for more room for you Fencer.(well i think it would)also your histories in your message boards could be deleted...anything older than a month perhaps...just trying to help here :) you still do a great job FENCER

Kevin: In your game with volvath you and your opponent did not complete at least two moves so this game was not rated.
Rose: I am still doing more and more tests to find out what is wrong.
Ruby: Done.

I noticed that, even though it says you will have a provisional rating at 4 games and established at 25, it seems to be 5 and 26. Right now i have 4 rated games of anti checkers completed, and am still unrated. I also remember it took 26 Spider Line4 to get an established rating.

Hi Fencer
Not sure if you know this so wanted to bring it to your attention. It seems half of my team havent been able to access the site since Thursday. Molly and Eddie cant get in even to the main page. I just heard from another lady that said shes talked to alot of ppl at GT who arent just experienceing the outages we are but cannot access the site at all. Just wanted to let you know

hi fencer my game with manicotti molly # 24611 has been timed out but she cant get into the site so would it be possible for you to put it back on for us please
thank you

It seems to be ok now.
Thank you very much!!!

I've just quicky implemented the auto-repairing code. If you find a similar problem with other games, just try to click on them.

Try them now.

I'm having the same problem. Game #24407. I took my turn, but it's still showing up as my turn, when actually it's my opponent's turn.

I'ii "second" that. :-)

Fencer...thank you so much..what a job you must have keeping up with all the requests and also the problems you are currently having...KUDOS to you :)

I have a game #26311 showing on my main page as my turn to move,it's my opponents turn. Can you help Fencer?

For all your hard work in fixing the site...all seems to be working for me now :0) hope for everyone else too :)

hiya Blind Fury - Atomic Chess was installed recently :-)

Atomic Chess

Thanks Fencer.:)

We are currently solving some server problems. Please be patient.

it takes forever to get onto the site, and when i finally get here and play a game, i hit submit and get a grey screen. i'm on web, but have a friend with a pc that's having same problems.

Yea I have been getting it all day long too. when i click to send a game turn or see messages.. i have to keep hitting my back button or to resend again my message in a game will be gone and I hve to retype it

I keep getting "brainking.com upgrade" msg. every time I click on a game. Not all the time, just most the time and when I clicked on this to send it.

All seems just fine to me. The rules are very easy to understand. Another job well done. Thx again.

:-) I hope that I've implemented Halma correctly. If not, please let me know.

A big ((((((( Bear Hug ))))) for fencer.Thx for my fav game.

Dear Radiant 36:9 I read your poem and enjoyed it do you mind if i have a copy...as for to say a written one by you...nighthawk1958 (aka) Eddie

there was 2 but they didnt move for over a week so im not sure if they will be back or not

Eddie: Done. What are the other timeouted games?

write to fencer and ask him tell him that persons nick etc..that when for a reply either write to fencer or contact link..

I think you are correct, Mike UK. If there is no man on the bar, the count appears to be correct.

i timed out on game #23090 and also see one of my opponets ran out of time on another where timed out games fixed when the site got back up?..

The problem is always when there is a man on the bar - he seems to be counted twice giving a count 25 too high.

I think that I use the same rules. I'll check it out.

Well, what I do is count the number of dice pips, needed to bear off a stone. So black has three stones on 3; therefore, a count of 9. Every stone on the bar I count as 25; and that's basically it. Would welcome other BG players to comment.

tonyh: It is possible that I don't count it correctly because I don't know the calculation method. Could you explain it to me please?

Fencer, please would you tell us how you calculate remaining squares. For example, in game 24026 (tonyh v MadMonkey), after move 14 pass, I reckon that Black's total = 105. Your total is 130.

for keeping us updated by your server updates on the main page. It really is helpful. Thanks for being so customer-oriented & -friendly!! And thanks again for this GREAT site :D It´s nice to see, that everytime I logon I see the number of registrations has been increased again.. lol Can be my efforts; I have told loads of friends about your intelligent(!) site!!! :D

God bless you,
~*Radiant 36:9*~

PS: talking about features -- Could you please allow non ASCII characters for the registered name.. I wanted to have this name: Radiant 36:9 But these ":" are not allowed... :-( Perhaps you might think of that? Thanks alot..

Done.
What do you mean "can't get into games, etc."? Everything is working fine on BrainKing.com.

to my opponents, but this is ridiculous...cant get into games, can read messages, can post messages.GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

game number 24645...it isnt my fault that because of the "worm" it has prevented me from entering this board for, now it is 7 hours......thanks

Sorry Fencer - missed that one :-(
Eyes must be getting bad lol

MadMonkey: Please read my answer on this board from 26/1 2003, 19:45:04 :-)

Fencer :-)
How does it choose what the next game u move on is ?? Mine seems to be which ever one has been waiting the longest. Is there any way to set it so it follows how our main list is set e.g. the shortest time next. :-)
MadMonkey

I have enjoyed writing them very much, as I love to write and express a bit what my feelings are; or whatever I experience or see or hear.. I am very glad you are enjoying reading them :-)

Bless you, ~*Radiant 36:9*~

beautiful poem-! :)

Thank you, Radiant, for sharing with us your poems, those are very nice.

I haven't played Dark Chess on this site, but what i've found with the notes is that they appear underneath the game board, and if you type in new notes, it adds them beneath the old notes (doesn't replace)

Thank you Fencer for the new checkers games. You really do spoil us.

yes you're right, only 30 point for a 5 games win

Fencer, in 2 of my games, my opponents pieces were not visible on squares where they should have been. I have gone back to those games, and they are now there. Unfortunately, too late in one.

Daf

I want to use Notes in my Dark Chess games, to keep a record of my opponents' pieces. But the notes seem to disappear on my next move. How do they work?
