And now it is at Brainking.info as well.

furbster:Check out the fellowships board. That is where they talking bout it.

Whats the difference between big boss and little boss, i just saw it in one fellowship. The little boss has slightly fewer things s/he allowed to do?

Fencer: so I must pick a payment and hit continue then? And do it this time when the red light comes back on again?

Puckish: I don't see any orders placed by you. Putting it to a shopping cart is not enough, the order must be placed.

Fencer: Okay, thanks, it just doesnt show anything when I look at my shopping cart, I guess I just have to trust that it will be calculated correctly when i make my payment.

Puckish: Yes, if 1) you place the order when the red code is active, 2) we receive your payment this year.

Furthermore, we have added a nice improvement - you don't have to send a payment in 72 hours to validate the bonus (like before), it must be received to the end of this year - 31st December 2007, 23:59:59 GMT+01:00.

So if I read this correctly, as long as i signed up for my new membership when the light was red, then when I pay I will get the second year free?

dicepro: Awwwwwww, well put & there really is no place like "home" I think I need to borrow ruby2shoes slippers

I've tried Goldtoken, Itsyourturn, YourturmMyturn and something else, and frankly, all those sites look
kind of mcdonaldish ... we may disagree with Fencer in this or that, we may miss something here or there, but I feel like being at home at brainking ...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for all of you.
Andy.

seku: You are absolutely right.

alanback: Yes, I'm aware this is in use elsewhere, but their game repertuaire is.... limited :D. Very. I'd probably be playing at DGS (didn't have this feature when I last played there), but I wanna play other games then Go also. Brainking just has best features and game repertuaire, and this I think would be a great addition.

seku:  Try Dailygammon.  "Computer guessing" has been working there for years.  You can make up to 10 moves in a row based upon computer predictions of what your opponent will do.  If the computer guesses wrong, the game is rolled back to that move and guessing resumes from that point.  Your opponent cannot see your move unless he makes the predicted move himself.

I wanna suggest a feature, where players could predict their opponent moves, and pre-set a response for moves... or even sequences. This would make the games more interesting, as it would lessen the need to make "obvious" moves or forced responses... The games when you log in, are in state where you can really make decisions as how to proceed.

alanback:
It has stopped doing it now. It must have heard me.

Mousetrap:  sounds like you're reliving your lab days and running mazes!

Each time I want to type a message I have to sign out and sign back in. I get a pop up box saying download brainking message board whatever lol! What is going on?

Andersp: That women is crazy... she puts down the money for a black rook and then leaves soon after...

Czuch: I dont know more than what she is saying in her profile and i suppose you have read that too :)

Well...i said it before...people are different...:)

Andersp: the amount of snoopy's games is a left over from going for the top spot in 'moves per day'

its an insane race ... and this is the left over .. the number of finished games is just a side effect .. its an awkward list at all as someone who is here longer will have more games finished (on average)

i might feel sorry for the opponents though as they might want to play a nice game and now have a win by timeout

66% is a great target .. mine as well .. was there .. not anymore though i think

my 2 important lists from the statistics are win/loss ratio (66.6666% is the goal :)) and average bkr (2000 was the goal, now it is 1900 for more games :))

coan.net: I agree with you completely here... I am much more impressed by those who have a high winning percentage before someone who has 1,000 wins, but 3,000 loses... or even if they are even... :-)

BTW, BBW; 66% s good target, there are not very many that are able to maintain that, so good luck!

Andersp: Well with that, that will give them more loses then wins. I know myself, I'm always more impressed by people who have more wins then loses. I myself am shooting for a 66.6% win rate (win 2 out of every 3 games) - I'm currently at around 63% right now.

That is Statistics are just that - stats. Nothing to put too much stock into in my opinion.

coan.net: She has 1900+ games more to time out...takes a while to catch up dont you think  :)

Andersp: If you are talking about Snoopy, they are leaving the site for awhile and just letting their games time out. Even though that will add some finished games to their stats, he is not starting any new so people should be able to "pass" them soon enough

rednaz23: Of course it shall count as a loss, but as you can see im linking to the statistics.  Some people like to be in top even in finished games  :)   

Andersp: If a resigned game didn't count... then I would simply resign any that I am bound to lose... :-)

It should count, and I doubt it will ever change.

MadMonkey: last week the timeouts were turned on again and the timesof the game have been reset .. so it was like each opponnent made a move in each game at the same time .. if they werent online since then and the timeout per move were the same for those games then the timeout messages would arrive at the same time as well

Did something happen this morning to the site

I have 11 time out messages in my inbox from 5 different opponents in the space of 2 minutes about 06.10

(EDIT)

Maybe not, one was here today, but the others have not been on in a while

Czuch: if i remember - its not designed to work within the "box" reply.... ill see if i can find where i read that....

Czuch: Must have been , cause he is already gone

Hi Fencer, how was your Sunday dinner? (or is it supper?)

or ?

Is auto save meant to work when replying using the "box" option?

I dont know how many times I have been in the middle of a long reply and the dog or whatever accidentally hits my mouse and changes pages on me and I can never figure out how to get that post back, its maddening

danheg: That wasn't a silly question, I think that Atomic and Extinction Chess are usually implemented in a way that you can't castle under or through check.

Nevertheless, the rules are much simpler to state when saying "no check or checkmate", hence probably the version that we are playing here (which does hurt my eye a little, but that is no big deal IMHO).

Medal table after small keyru pente:

1. Poland 1 - 1 - 0
2. - 9. Dominika, Turkey, Czech Republic, Lotish, Southern Korea, Russia, Serbia and Sweden 1 - 0 - 0
10. Uganda 0 - 2 - 0
11. - 14. Germany, USA and Guatemala 0 - 1 - 0
15. Slovakia 0 - 0 - 3
16. - 18. Belgium, Wales and Portugal 0 - 0 - 1

ok dokey.  didn't know that part of it.  thx.

danheg: there is no check in atomic chess, therefore that restriction doesn't apply.

I am currently playing an atomic chess game with cd power and put him in check with my knight.  He then CASTLES.  I thought castling while in check is illegal according to the rules of chess.  Is this a bug in the atomic chess program? 

Binabik: Oh glory be, it's fixed, thanks again! My mouse broke, and I'm using the touch pad now and I frequently click on things I didn't intend to click on.....

Thank you all, I'll get right on it!

rod03801: LOL.. yes there is an echo..

Binabik: and make sure that your settings are set to "time left assending"

Binabik: click on the time left column.

Binabik: Click on 'Time Left' with the little green arrow pointing upwards

I've tried to find it using the search function on this board, but was unsuccessful...
I somehow messed up the way the games appear on my game list. I want the first games on the list to be the ones with the least time left. I think I may have clicked on the "games" title, with the little green arrow next to it, by accident. When I clicked it on again, it didn't correct the problem. I went to "settings" and changed the choice from ascending to descending and back again, and again clicking on the "games" title on the game list. Nothing seems to work the way I hoped... can someone help me please? Thanks!

pauloaguia: Intentional.
