changing the subject-----

if this was addressed before, forgive me, but i have had a thought!

On the Team Tournaments page--can there be as well as "sign up for team tournament" also a "team tournaments in progress" and much later, "completed team tournaments" section? i was just wondering, once i finish the games i have going on this list, how can i go and watch the progress of the tournament?

have the boys been at it again??? only when i go to work do they get into trouble.. ill have to hire a babysitter!!!!

i have a question about the BKR. (let me preface this by saying im not whining and usually dont care about my rating) Im losing a whole lot of points each time i lose, i was up over 2000, now im in 1500. ive been looking at the points im winning/losing, when i lose i lose i lose 40 some points, and even now when im 1600 and my opponent is 1900, i still lose 40 some points, i dont recall the difference being that dramatic before. am i just now more aware of it, or has something changed?

so if the luck of the dice is the usual decider, i need to win 2 to equal the loss of one game, and im dropping 40 points with each loss, ill be hitting zero before too long.

has anyone else noticed this?

*edited for a typo or two

hey, dont let Anders fool you! he bought TWO new pairs of shoes a couple weeks ago!!!

AND if he asks nicely, i might consider sponsoring him.. for a small fee *w*

glad to see you Star, hang in there.. dont let go.... need a rope?? ==============================

Mrloupcity--i just checked, you arent on the list for the Sunshine Club, but i didnt remove you.. i dont think i can even if i wanted to.. can you go to the page and request again? i'll gladly reinstate you!!! i wonder why/how that happened? and if its happening to others as well?

LOL, and the poor grandmother too ;o)

Anders--which girlfriend lives 100 miles away??

oh i wasn't panicking! i just wondered if one of us had to move out so we could play together here on Brain King, that's all ;o)

ok, i just read the user agreement below and have a worry.. here is the wording:
With our hardware being able to detect information about the computer involved in the registration, we can internally monitor duplicate accounts on the same computer.
If more than one family member shares a computer, this is permitted, as long as you do not play games against one another. Violation of this guideline will result in an immediate removal from the site.

will we be removed from the site?

i play my husband all the time, we use the same computer, this wont be allowed?? (honest, we dont care about our ratings were just having fun)

Stevie... LOL, im sure he isnt reliable!

LOL, thats true Fencer :)

where do you get your info Stevie? ;)

thanks Fencer... it will be nice, im sure we're all excited, but you must be especially excited, all your hard work will soon be scrutinized! are you worried? :)

when June 5 is upon us, will we note changes immediately? will they be subtle? will we need a tutorial? :)

BBW-- those 1400 users are all different users? or the same user logging on at different times?

Stevie--i suppose it could have, but i didnt think about it :(
It seems to be a subject very popular and very lucrative for many people like Dr. Phil, Atkins, etc.. its always going to be a part of everyone's life.. and i think its a bit different from health and remedies which is probably (i havent been there to be sure) about illnesses, and such..

i hope the diet discussion board will be like a support group, and sounding board for advice on a common struggle of life

there's a new discussion board for anyone who's interested in diets.. for anyone wanting support for a healthy lifestyle and losing weight---Diet is the name!!

and, if you are the top mover for the day, you get bonus doubles! ;o)

welcome back Stevie and MadMonkey!! you were both missed a great deal! :o)

arent the seats comfy on servers?? ;o)

wow.. i thought it was going great here today..now i know why!!
thats great. :o)

i dont know if that sounds fair. i have over 400 games, and i can manage them fine, it isnt a negative in my book, maybe some form of addiction ;o), but i usually run through my list at least once...

Caissus is probably (not probably,i should say definately!) a better translator, but roughly translated it talks about Chess sites on the internet, and the part about brainking says:
"its a very nice turn-based site out of Czech. where you can play up to 20 games for free, and the graphics are excellent, it discusses the variations available on the site, it discusses its own rating system for each variant, and its discussion boards. its a very nice positive advertisement :o)

thats a nice article Caissus. i understood most of it :)

good.. i like it just the way it was.. and i like being nosey. dont change anything Fencer :)

LOL.. so Steve is to blame, huh? ;o)

as I'm making my moves today, and clicking "submit move and go to" next game on my list, im getting games up where it isnt my turn to move, its happened about 3-4 times now. anyone else having this problem?

yepp, its been difficult getting around here today

i think its better now! but ive had trouble since last night and now have to leave for work, if it continues to be problematic, can the times be suspended?
