takjas: Hi all. You should be able to play D4xB8 or D4xF8. For me these are the correct moves. However, if you can't play them, please try D4xB3 or D4xB2 or D4xB1 through D4xD6xD8xB8xB3 or B2 or B1.
furbster: Hi furbster. Of course, it's possible. El Cid cannot make more mores, so you're the winner. Happen the same with all checkers variants, but it's an unusual endgame.
Marfitalu: Let's go see if i understood. In this position Damas Tailandesas (Marfitalu vs. AlterMann), do you want play E5xG3xB8? That's impossible, because pieces are in same line and your queen is between them, so you only can capture one piece.
mangue: No, I think you're confused. In this situation, you're forced to take 2 pawns. These are the rules. You could only choose if you had other queen in E5, for example. So, you could take E5 to G7 or E5 to A1 or F8 to F2. But if you only have one possible capture, so you have to take all possible pieces. Do you understand?
nodnarbo: "Just be sure not to expect an imediate response"? ahahah. Of course, I know that. There're one year and some months ago, I sent a message to Fencer, asking when he would go to introduce classic checkers in BK. His answer was: In soon. Do you see classic checkers here? Ah, and if I or you or other people talk about checkers on a public board like BrainKing.com or Feature requests, he despises that comment. It's simple.
CryingLoser: More patient? For what? Fencer priorities are very strange. Portuguese people tried introduce classic checkers in BK, we did a petition, I wrote an article in Brainrook and until now, nothing. I think Francesco LaRocca requested him to introduce Italian checkers, Ustica requested to introduce pool checkers, and many people already request him to introduce international and Russian checkers. These are the variants more played in the world (classic, international and Russian checkers). What did Fencer do? He introduced Hawaiian checkers, a stupid game, played in small islands in Pacific North. This is a joke? Who many people requested him this game? Is Hawaiian checkers priority? But wait, there’re more incredible games like one way checkers or parachutes checkers. In one way checkers, the white player has clear advantage. Is it an interesting game? Is this priority? Not, for me. So, because of that reasons, when I’m finished my games here, I’ll leave BrainKing. I prefer play in Ludoteka.com. There, I can play Classic (Spanish) checkers, anglo-american checkers, International checkers, Russian checkers, Italian chechers, Pool checkers, Turkish checkers (with true rules), Thain checkers and Frisian checkers.Besides, I prefer play in real time. Like Fencer said: “BrainKing is not afraid of a competition, so feel free to visit other game sites and compare them with us :-)”. OK Fencer, for me Ludoteka is better than BrainKing. http://www.ludoteka.com/juegos.html?hizk=en
CryingLoser: This situation is very good for people that like to play Turkish checkers but very bad for you, Crying Loser, and specially unfair. Fencer could be warn us about that. Well, Crying Loser, you can request Fencer to cancel your game. I think will be the correct decision. :)
TeamBundy: You're mistaken. In game Turkish checkers, you only can move or jump to forward or sideward. Turkish checkers is like Czech checkers when you have to choose between capture with man or king. You’re forced to capture with king.
joshi tm: I agree with you. International checkers is a very different and interesting variant. Why not be added too others variants like russian and italian checkers?
Can anyone explain me why there is a game with name Turkish checkers, but, in fact, his rules aren’t of Turkish checkers? Turkish checkers rules said that if there are two or more different chances to make capture, it is compulsory to make the move that captures the maximum amount of the opponent's pieces. However, in BK, turkish checkers rules said that we can chose, except for the queen. Why this difference?</font>
What do you think about change BKR system? omega3007 won 4 games in Parachute checkers and has 2111 points. He won 3 games for time out. Their opponents were Schmeedle10 (unrated), purplehawke (1137), PegasusInAR (945) and Ronin (1545). I think we must talk with Fencer to create a just BKR system.</font>
