I created a tournament chess starting with 1st may 2005. Here: >http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6658&trnst=0


I hope this will get a strong tournament and help to check out who is the best :-)

If you want to join, please send me a message!

Matarilevich: That`s for sure!

Mely, Oliottavio, Ughaibu, Caissus, redsales, 529 are among the best chessplayers. These players can lost games but they would never make a fool themselves at this way.

Matarilevich:... but without chessrating.
Best chessplayer we have here is probably Mely.

I think the best player is Caoz, see the statistics. [Snip - positive comments only please! WQ :]

A tournament has been created to honor Mr. Ed Trice:

http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=8217

Let's hope Mr. Trice joins. His intelligence and courage will be a a great asset in this endeavour.

Enough thank you ... let's move on (haha) ... Ed is quite right, he may move at whatever speed he desires so long as it meets the game's conditions. Sportsmanship is often subjective and contests are not always won just with the pieces on the board, but in this case let us just watch and see ... if an earlier estimation is correct that might be around about May next year. Further posts on this matter will probably be deleted.

Don´t ask draw repeatedly. It´s not correct. A good chessplayer would not continue in this position in a normal circumstances.

"You dont hear me crying about it", maybe not but I've just read it.

A player may move within the allotted time given for a game, no matter what.

Bad sportsmanship might be better defined as one player calling to the attention of others something along these lines.

My opponent has used inappropriate name-calling and taunting during the course of our play. This is how I elect to respond.

I did give him 2 pieces at the beginning of the game

http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=415627&i=16

How much of a handicap did he thinks he needs?

And if this game was so "easy" why has he take a week or more to make moves on occasion? I was moving faster than him through much of this game.

Look at my game with Reza in the same tournament section, for example.

http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=415628

I have an easy win against him in that game, and he has made fewer moves than my opponent (only 26).

You don't hear me crying about it.

Caissus:
Bad sportsmanship and intentional delaying of lost games shows the true character of the player and should not be tolarated!

Actually since he has the right to play whenever he wants, this is completely acceptable......

Having looked at the game i have to agree its an easy win for black. I have had many a talk with Ed and have found him to be a very nice person who has always been willing to answer any questions that i have had regarding computers,checkers,chess i regard him as a friend of good character, so i was surprised at the comments made I have made many friends on this and other sites i have a high regard for sportsmanship and value friendship so i find this affair upsetting im sure there must a reason for this .

Bad sportsmanship and intentional delaying of lost games shows the true character of the player and should not be tolarated!

ustica: Now, let him fish in troubled waters

please resing this http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=415627 game? than players can move on.
note! you can play whit me in Gothic Chess. i make a engin for your game of Gothic Chess. i don t mind if i lose..

Months ago Gothic claimed he was winning and said he'd play each move at the last available second to drag the game out, this couched in terms including obscenities. Trice thereby set a standard for poor sportsmanship at BrainKing that I hope nobody else will ever approach. Yet he still won't resign, in this position that I could win in my sleep. I dont really care one way or the other about Trice but I care about BrainKing. This is an internet community, of social events, this unsporting behaviour of Trice' is not part of my idea of BrainKing, if it were to become the norm I would no longer play here. Okay, one pervert is tolerable, but that's a tournament game, this idiot is wasting everybody in that tournament's time.

ughaibu: no

i got 4 Gothic Chess games for members only.in the Waiting games.and no play. i wonder why?

Do you not know the story of this game?

Quite. Trice must've been drunk for the god knows how many months he's dragged this game out.

ughaibu: to ask for a draw! black win in 30 moves

Why's that?

ughaibu: must be drunk.

Caissus: fics is the real thing period. ~*~

I have tried out FICS - http://www.freechess.org/ - the last days and I can say it is a very good server to play livechess (free) for all who wish to play without breaks (and without computers :-)) You can play there standard, crazyhouse, bughouse,wild,FRC,losers.There are also different free interfaces to download.The best seems to be "Babachess" http://www.babaschess.net/

It has very good graphic and many options.

Sorry for spamming, I hope you allow it. :-)

I'm selling some books (German and English) - mainly about various openings - from my chess collection. Maybe somebody from here would be interested...

of chesschallenger 2 the first platebox against which I came to play. . if you
didn't leave your half of the board it went for 3 repeats .. . a good opportunity
for a serious tip, 1)e4 d5, 2)ed Qd5:, 3)Nc3 Qa5, 4)b4!? is worth a look. ... ~*~

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd4 4.Nf3 Qd8
That can't be good for black.

ketchuplover: Cool site ! It's scary when you see all the machine's thinking visually :-)

Btw., against me, the machine played 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 ... quite uncommon opening. I did not have the time to finish the game however ...

ur go i moved my piece

niganma: Click on the piece you want to move, wait for the page to refresh and click on where you want to move it to.

how do i move my pieaces

I never broke 2100 in Correspondence Play, but I did just barely qualify for the 10th US Championship (minimum was 2000+ correspondence rating and 2100+ OTB rating)

I lost my shirt in that tournament!

It is shown here, I scored only 7 out of 12, and was downgraded to a 1750 player after the event

http://www.iccfus.com/crosstables/usccc_prelims/10p.htm

I was in section US10P07

In my neighbourhood there lives a strong chessplayer "Roland Schmaltz".We played together in a team 8 years ago,when he was not so good and I was not so bad as today.

Now he is Grandmaster in OTB und 12.th of Germany (Fide Elo 2553)!.But his strongest playing he has in internet chess with "bullet" (one minute for the whole game).In this game he got some worldchampion titles with his in internetchess worldwide known Nick "Hawkeye".
>http://www.hawkeye.de/

You can meet him at "ICC" or "playchess.com" but you should be a very good "bullet"-player.
I don`t think that such a player would play in internet so slowly as we do here.

Pafl: I don`t think that masters or international master are playing at turn based sites like BK.
You will meet them mainly at the great chessservers like "ICC" or "Playchess.com".

... I meant "otb players", not "orb" .... :-)

Caissus: I know, I just meant that strong orb players are usually strong in correspondence too, aren't they ? So I was wondering if we have some masters or international masters here ... ?
As for the PC assistance, I hope it is not so widely used here. I believe people should put the info in their profile, if they do use it.

Caissus: another way to play? do you mean without program assistance?

We should not compare the correspondence chess (here) with otb ratings.It`s another way to play.
A very good correspondence chess rating (at ICCF) has "Mely" with 2644!

I never broke 2300 from 1986-1990, I think 2283 was the highest. I left at 2207.

Just out of curiosity: What is the elo of the top players on BK ? Anybody has one ?

I'll laugh later though ... ~*~

Well since last time nobody succedded, i will increase the prize..... So here is your chance to win a one year membership here, with a lot of effort of course........

The first one who will post at
Gothic Chess discussion board and only there, the correct answers to the above 4 questions, will win a 1 year Rook membership...........

The 4 questions are here.


***If there are no answers or any correct one until 10/02/2005, there will be no winner.......
***If someone posts more than 1 answer, then the accepted one, will be ONLY his last one. That means even if someone posts a correct answer before everyone, but posts another one later, not correct this time, he would not win as the accepted answer will be the last one. Even if anyone else hasn't answered correctly.......
***In the extremely rare case when there will be 2 or more correct answers at the exactly same time, the winner will be the one whose post will appear first at the Gothic Chess discussion board.
***I will post if there is a winner or not at 10/02/2005.
