I don´t play alquerque anymore as well. White wins all the time...

rod03801: Have heard the same as well...

Doesn´t he accept the draw offer?

Key McKinnis: You´re right. I was seeing the board upside down... You can make perpetual moves between your 2 pawns...

of course not...

Is there any progress in changing alquerque rules?

This game is beeing less and less played, and sooner, if rules will not be changed, no one will play it...

Nightstorm: this could be very unfair. Imagine a tournament where each player plays both sides. And in both games looses the dice roll... I don´t think this is the solution, nor even the two different versions of the game. But what we need is ideas, like the last posts you, Hrqls, Nuno Miguel, Bad Bishop, etc., are sending, and together we will be able to find a good solution for this game...

I still think this is one of the best games of BK...

Hi Bad Bishop. I think that your previous message was for me. I have an open invitation of alquerque, this time playing white. Since now, played 39 games of alquerque. Just 9 of them played with white. 3 of them being both white and black, and the other 27 played with black. And I still have a good rating in this game. Now I want to try some new tactics with white.

So Didn´t get your point, if the previous message was for me. Besides that, my invitation was only for players with more than 1800, so this can give an interesesting game for both players. I´ve invited you twice for playing alquerque. One of them we played both white and black. The other you played white. So why are you complaining?

And people are free to accept, or not, my invitation...
