Exactly.

Yep, there is some discussion about this sort of game :-) He is going to implement Teams and backgammon first, then he will start to work on other games (i think).

I know you going all out to sort Backgammon out for us Fencer, any thoughts alongs the lines of Battleboats..... Keep the good work up - MadMonkey

Of course I know that. It is applicable e.g. for a situation with king, rook and bishop against king and rook. The other possibilities are:
1) King and two knights against king and pawn.
2) King, rook and pawn against king, bishop and pawn.
But there are more restrictions for the last two situations, especially about pawn positions.

Now, sir, just what would those 'special circumstances' be?

:) ..Ill be on the lookout, this notes option is really great for ol´folks like me, who tends to forget their strategies!! ROFL..(ok, maybe not THAT old..hmmm..LOL)

Are you aware there are certain circumstances in which 75 moves are allowed, rather than 50?
Sometimes it takes 72 moves to checkmate with optimal play without a pawn move or capture!!!!

Aurora: Thanks :-) You have to discover many new features yourself because I cannot post everything new to the Site News.

Uil: Yes, you are right. I have the same experience on other game sites :-)

Fencer, I just discovered you added the possibility of making notes in games!!! GREAT!

sorry, you're right but if you know the rules of chess you don't read them

Why do I write the rules when almost nobody reads them? There is a note about writing to info@brainking.com with a request to finish a game with some draw situation.

thanks, that means we can play from here to eternity?

It explains in the game rules of chess (link on the left). If i remember correctly, neither of those rules, as well as not having enough pieces to checkmate, is not supported at this time.

Hi Fencer, does the program know all the chess rules for claiming a draw? for example repetion of moves or the 50 moves rule

Was just asking a site-related question :)

that whip hurts there rose...can ya take it easy on me...please? haha

mush???? ROFL..:)

hey you.. quit talking and get back to your games! mush!! Can I help you add to that 300 pile? lol

If I am not mistaken he also plays at GT and maybe even IYT!

Hey he's a great guy!! I've had a few games with him, have you seen his profile? Wow, Eddie, how do you keep up with all that??! Do you ever leave your PC?!! You're one serious gamer!

I think he wants to announce 1000 finished games soon ;-)

lol..Eddie must have played us all at least twice..:)

He's going for the site record of most games isnt he? lol

all by the same person?? let me guess...Eddie?? :))

Nikki: As Kevin says :-)

Tony: Because the formula did not calculated a higher BKR for you. Especially for a draw.

I think they just count towards your limit of games. Since rooks don't have a limit, they can put out as many waiting invites as they want :-)

Fencer, is there a limit on how many invites a person can put out at one time? I just looked at the waiting games, and 39 of the 54 games are all by the same person.

I've just played a two game Five in a Line match with Skalpone, ending in a Draw. He is rated 1576; I am 1827. But my rating didn't alter; why not?

Done.

Yes, there is a little bug. It will be fixed tomorrow.

I changed from all BKR on my main page to just 3, and a "more" link appeared under the 3. When i clicked on the link, they all appeared on the ratings side, but only chess appeared on the positions side.

Let's play a game and I will show you how to do it.

Hello Fencer,
Old Timer and me offered each other a draw in this game but both of us couldn't find a way to accept the draw. Are we doing something wrong?
Uil

aaaaaaahh "SABOTAGE" holliday gift..?? ~=)¦:-)))
......(hint hint.. hehehe)

Jan 1 is already included.
Okay, I can add Dec 31 too :-)

Maybe new year's eve and new year's day? I'm not sure if everyone celebrates those on Dec 31 / Jan 1, but i know North America does! :-)

Holidays are added. Have a look at Settings / Calendar and let me know what other holidays I should add.

roserodew: Yes but only for the first tournament. I will apply some limitations for the next tournaments. See "Tournaments" discussion board.

I have a question Fencer. If a person with a 20 game limit signs up for tournies now and is at their 20 max by the time the tourney starts can they still play in the tournies? I guess for members too.. if I was at 50 games and the tourney starts do i still get to play in it even tho i dont have any room left for games?

Thanks MadMonkey :-) I want to finish teams, backgammon and then I can start to work on battleboats etc.

Just want to say - what a great site Fencer, only joined 2 weeks ago and met some great ppl already. Have spread the word to as many ppl as i can from other sites and most are playing here.
It will grow & grow i am sure, with Backgammon coming as well.
p.s. Any thoughts along Battleboats lines ???
Keep up the great work - madmonkey :-))))

tonyh: Yes, I'll add some global holidays ASAP.

Kevin: Hey, you are right! I'll look at it :-)

Are you giving all of us a general vacation over Xmas? Please?

If you look at the move list, you'll notice black moved b1 twice in a row, which shouldn't be, that's for sure! :-) I'm not sure if it was my opponent that somehow sent that move, or if the system somehow decided that black played that move.

(or i guess maybe the page i'm getting is wrong!)

i just want to tell you Fencer, that this site is really terrific, i have been getting thank you msgs from people that i have told about it, they all like it. you're doing a great job. if this site keeps running so fast, and you get backgammon, i think you're going to have a huge increase in members, the things you've added just in the last week have been wonderful. i better stop now. LOL..
thx. ellie

thanks, problem is solved now
