Subiectul: Tournaments with restricted first move(s)......

I see some tournaments that the players should play some specific first moves (for example at Chess to begin with 1.e4 d6).
My question is what would happen if one player doesn't play the recommended moves, because either forgets about it or deliberately doesn't......
Does the creator of the tournament has the power to delete this player or declare the game as lost for the naughty player or what..........?

Worked 'hard' or perhaps worked 'hardily' but not worked 'hardly' or hardly worked (unless they did not work very hard, which I assume they did work hard)

the note itself is moved out of the box and I think to the bottom of the page.

Subiectul: message box..

Duing a game,there are 2 message boxes,one to talk to the person you are playing and one for notes.I typed something in the private one to remind me of that move and then when the game came back to me it (the note) was gone..do they not stay for the entire game or am I goofing it up,lol.Thanks in advance :)

Subiectul: ratings and positions

how often does this site run a script to align your bkr with it's correct rating position?
I noticed when I drop bkr or increase bkr my position does not change for a while but I think it is only an hour or so at a guess.

You already get about 140 days each year that you don't have to play. Why do you need more than that?

BIG BAD WOLF: Used vacation days are stored in the database forever, it has nothing to do with membership expiration.

Subiectul: vacations

I've always wondering if someones membership ran out, and then purchased a new one - would they get 30 new days, or have what they had before their membership ran out. Nothing that will effect me, but wondered.

3. Aprilie 2005, 21:22:13

Grim Reaper

I think if vacations days are sold at about $5 per day, you might get some serious takers!

Not a bad idea, really.

MadMonkey: I agree with you.
I'd buy an extra week or so. I was in Argentina much longer than originally intended and used up a huge chunk of my allocation. Something similar is bound to crop up during this year.

How about it, Fencer, old chap? It'll mean more money!

Subiectul: Vacation Days

As was mentioned a while back and a few messages ago. Can we think of a way to be able to get more vacation days. Either by purchasing them, by donation from others or any other ideas.
We all run into problems sometimes, and i had a major one at the start of this year which used all my vacation days.
I know i am here alomost every day anyway, but it would be nice to have a day off at some point LOL

You must consider our time zone (GMT+01:00) to calculate when a day ends and the next day starts.

I will post this again in case iot got lost in the smileys :)

just a query.....I come on at about the same time everyday and leave at about the same time with no games left to be played at my end....today when I came on I had timed out a Tourney game with Czechgirl...how did this happen....Im not worried about it but it does give her an unfair advantage over the other players in the tourney :(

3. Aprilie 2005, 09:49:05

Thanks, Fencer!

115 116 117 118 119 and 126 to 135.....these are all the new ones :) I hope I havent missed any, but it might be fixed now for you :)

3. Aprilie 2005, 09:23:13

Can't. With WebTV the javascript option doesn't work. I wonder how many others there are that we don't see on that list?

3. Aprilie 2005, 04:05:50

Subiectul: vacation credits

how much would this games site charge per day if someone wanted to buy extra days of vacation to top up because they run out.
I ask this because I am playing a paid rook member right now who is already down to 1 day and the year is only 1/4 finished.

I just noticed on the brainking info that there is a competition being run but they have listed the end date as March 2004 instead of March 2005.
Would it be a good idea to have this corrected?

It will work in a more accurate way when the database server is upgraded. I cannot make it more overloaded at the moment.
