Eddie: Only the whole match result is counted for your statistics and BKR. Maybe I should improve the messages to make it more clear, otherwise it could be confusing, what do you think?

BOMBER: Because in your game with Silkwood you [or the opponent] did not perform the first move. Both players must do at least one move to make the game rated. For more about ratings, please see FAQ page.

Uil: Yes, it is allowed :-)

Niki: If the player finishes only 4 games, the rating does not show his/her "real" rating because the formula is based on too few numbers. The rating should be more exact after finishing 20 games or more.

why can't i post games in the waiting room.im on ntldtv

when playin a 5 game match....after you win a game it sends you a msg but you dont get a win added on...once ya win the 5 game match or lose do any of those individal wins or loses count? or do you only get one win or one loss for the whole lot of 5 games?...

Ive played 4 line4, but im still not rated...Why is that?

Mu wife also wants to play on BrainKing but we share one e-mail address. Is that allowed?

I know I've queried it before .. and yes, I have read how the ratings work .. but I'm still confused !! How can someone only have played 4 games, against a low rated player, yet still have a really high BKR ?
I'm not jealous .. honest .. just don't get it ?? :0)

Thank you for the help Niki!

If you go to your settings page, down at the bottom there is a box to check to say if you want email notification or not. That should stop the emails :)

Is it possible (and if so, how ?) to turn off the email notification when it's my turn to move in a game ? I find all those emails very annoying.

For everybody who requested this feature: Now it is possible to turn the game message archive [displayed under game boards] off. It could be useful for users who suffer of too long game pages when the conversation "very live" ;-)

thanks

Uil..from the FAQ:

What is BKR and how is it calculated?
BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.

After how many games do you get rated? Uil

Fixed.

ellieoop: You are welcome :-)

tiredguy: Thanks! I'll download that :-)

i want to thank you for fixing our game, and darkening the pink, it looks great.
ellie

tiredguy u found the perfect solution.!!! Cheers m8 :)

You can download an emulator of the ntl set top box from www.digitalcabletv.co.uk
Hope that helps sort the problem.

I would be happy to help, if i can.:) - Thanks Fencer.

I'll try to do my best.

ehh...glad to be back..LOL..and ..15x15 might be big enough!

Maybe smaller squares of the five in line board could help. Or should I create a variation with a smaller board, say 15x15?

going to row format does not help me

This is the biggest board i've seen , is there a way to make it smaller or creation of a smaller one like there is in the reversi??? :)

this is too large for my computer-how do you change that

Silkwood: Uh-oh! A cookie bug. Thanks. I'll add some method to prevent these infinite login loops.

PattyMelt: All registered players are in the Player List. The problem is that the list is sorted by their first login time, not alphabetically, so maybe you've just overlooked your name. I'll add more sorting and searching options later.

About NTL, I'll try to do what I can. The problem is that I cannot test it myself so any help will be appreciated.

rabbitoid: That's right, I know about this little problem. It will be fixed ASAP.

eddie spaghetti: About foreigners - yes, it's pretty possible because the server is located in Prague, Czech Republic :-)

ellieoop: I'll look at your game. About pink pieces, I'll try to add more color schemes ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out. Just updated my TODO list :-)

the program does not know about ambiguous moves
if 2 pieces can move to the same square, the move must be noted with coloumn or line number. for example (english short notation), if white has rooks on f1 and d1, a rook move to e1 must be noted Rfe1 or Rde1, not Re1.

I checked to see if this was a "regional" NTL problem but unfortunately it does appear to be a incompatability issue with regards to our new software. (Liberate 1.2) - It would be good to know if any non updated users are experiencing these "glitches". ??? - Sorry i cannot be of more help. :( ---- (Edit)- If u r using settings set to row then try column. (It has worked 4 me)

HI THERE IM NEW THE NICKNAMES BRUZER

eastern time on on this line
(gmt 05:00 ) bogoto,lima,quito,easterntime us&canada...i guess we are the foreigeners here...but thats cool..

the only problem i have found so far is 5 in a line just wont load...there must be some ntl users on here,any one else having this problem?

on the player list, my name or some of my friends are not listed there. where do I find them?

very funny. LOL..

I had no problem with the game, I kinda like the extra move I got, lol

i'm a move short in spider with my game with alexlee, i don't see a game#. and also, is there a way to darken the pink, there's hardly any contrast. i'm on web and this is my first problem.
thx. ellie

where is that eastern time eddie?

Ty Fencer , wish u all the luck.

That was some trip I had to take to change my password. Good thing I saved my activation code or would never got back in. When I changed my password - I got a flashing screen that wouldn't do anything. My IE bar kept flashing, log-in, do-login. yet there wasn't anyway to log-in.

NightEagle1: I'll probably add more color schemes.

Well i can't see the black pips in chechers unless i brighten my screen to the max and thats annoying , i'm usin IE .

thanx to a nice helper...i found it thanx
