from what i remember (and i belive it can checked via my profile) i played both in team tournament (which involved multiple matches) and team match set asside of tournament, all in Pente. something changed?
yes, Fencer, that is true, there is nothing said about limit in playing team tournaments for bishops and knights, so we assumed, that buying a bishop will be enough for Chaosu to play in the forecoming keryo tourney.
paully: no now achievements are on the site it shows all players on this list you never know a pawn may head the list one day and get the http://brainking.com/en/Achievements?p=1&aid=5
The most active users This list displays the players who made the most moves yesterday (28. August 2010). Only the users with Brain Knight or higher membership level can appear here.
This is interesting as it says only Brain Knights or higher can appear, however, there are quite a few pawns on the list. This may be a bug???
why can a pawn have hundreds of tournaments on the tournament page ranging from a 100 day start date up to about 500 day start date.....and he/she hasnt got one game going. Is this another a****star?
Behemoth Chess - Other then knowing basic chess skills to keep your king safe from your opponent, when I'm stuck playing this game - my only strategy is to keep my king safe from my opponent and hope the Behemoth takes my opponents king first.
Hyper Backgammon - just for the fact there only one 3 pieces, it's hard to use any sort of "blocking" or "attacking" strategy - just deal with what the dice give you.
Ludo - It can have some strategy if you can get more then 1 pieces on the board at a time, but the majority of the time it does not have much strategy at all - just move the only piece you can (or pass). [Can't wait for Fencer to bring some "Hyper Ludo" to the site - get pieces out of "home on a 1 or 6" - and you roll 2 dice EVERY ROLL, and like Backgammon, can use each dice for a different piece if you want - will get more pieces on the board, allow for more strategy - and speed up the game.] *HINT HINT FENCER* - Ludo the most popular game, to make a quicker version would probable be very popular.
Artful Dodger: Outside of joking, I’d nominate Maharajah Chess (just the black player, obviously). Ludo deserves a mention too as a game that usually relies on luck more than skill.
Fencer: Hmm, I tried to look up "earn 360 euros without skill or strategy". It came back with "about 4 690 000 results (0,53 seconds)". You can google anything!
I am wondering why I have not received a rating yet in some games. For instance, Five-in-Line, I have won 3 games so far but I am still unrated for that game. I know that they were rated games because I did not check off "Unrated" when I created the game, and also in the win message it showed my opponents' ratings being adjusted, but I was still shown as "Unrated". Why? Do I have to win or at least complete a certain number of games of a given type before I receive a rating in that game?
Bernice: I'm pretty sure it's not an actual human being, per se. I think it's an account that got through. It doesn't even have a "first login". We have seen several like this recently. Most of the time they have been random letters, with odd links. They are never back again after the first time "they" post on a couple boards. I know I personally have deleted at least 12 posts over the last couple of months.
Fencer: any change that makes the site faster is a vote from me. If the GUI changes, then I will learn to get used to it but the #1 improvement in my book is speed
