After XiangQi, Chess and Shogi, the last of the 'big four' in chess:

The game would be even better when a rule would be added: repeating the same position 3 times is a loss for white. This has been discussed before on the Tablut board, but I think it's time for an official feature request!

rednaz23: Yep I'd like that too. It would even be better if you could set a default search in the waiting room, to filter out backgammon, ludo etc :)

The possibility to create more than 1 team per game in the fellowships, so we could create several teams and play internal team matches.
Especially in the one-game-fellowships this would be nice.

When you do a search in posts, you can afterward click on "show context" of a particular post.
I think it would be good when a "show context" link is added also when you click "show this user posts".

headius: On the Go discussion board and in the Go fellowship similar proposals were offered: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=118

There are already traditional pieces as an option. See settings: http://brainking.com/en/Settings?p=11

mctrivia: Now I understand you. I even agree with you on several points:
I agree that it could be done far worse (like on IYT).
We probably agree on the goal: the maintenance of Brainking.
Lastly, I also agree we disagree about the rightful means for this goal.

mctrivia: I don't see what promoting your fellowship has to do with the problem I addressed: commercial use of the feature.

رضا: If I need a product I can look for it myself.
"The purchasers will get the most out of their money" at the expense of commercial manipulation of others. Not having a choice equals forcing someone to look at filth. My sympathy is not with the polluters: they are sickening the streets, the television, the radio, internet etc.
People can 'buy' advertisements, but who is sold?

Will there be also an option to make invisible the new advertisements? Besides the great diversity of games and the userfriendly interface, I also like Brainking for the lack of advertisements. Nothing wrong with the current galery, but I'd hate to see products advertised there...
Hope there will be the same option as for "google banners": to turn them off.

...and what are "warez"? Stated between porn and terror, it sounds fascinating!

Blue? Are you serious??

I suggest a light-yellow-wood colour for the board of the Game.

Maybe the option to hide someone from all boards at once. Now if I don't want to read someones obtrusive posts I have to hide her on every board!

Blackadder Mr K:

When I learned to play Go, this interactive tutorial was very useful for learning the rules and first basics.

I would like to have the ability to give the opponent more time when (s)he's in danger running out of it.

Fencer: Although I personally don't like checker-games so much, it does seem like a nice game. It reminds me a bit of 'Frisian draughts'.
I have to look at it some more, play it with friends etc. It's amazing how many good games Christian Freeling has invented! I'm impressed.

Here is a good connection game, from the inventor of Grand Chess:
Havannah
It has very simple rules (so even backgammonplayers could play it ) and great depth. It feels a bit like 'GO' but with the advantage it has fewer moves, simpler rules and no 'counting dead groups'-problem.

If there is going to be a connection game, I think this one would be a very good choice.

You can try the game yourself by copying the board and 'floodfill' with black and white in your paint program (that's how I play the game with Mirjam).

I would like some more room to type a message which accompanies the membership payment.

Hm, chess is worth 5 backgammon games so backgammon is behind chess :)

<"If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board."
Let's move to the shogi board.
(Spirou> when Fencer doesn't reply in one or two days, I think it's preliminary to conclude he's not going to do anything with it.)

with random-moving pieces to complete it?
