I don't see the point of having two seperate board systems, with not knowing whether the same name used elsewhere is the same person or not, so I will comment on brainking.info messages here, not there.

Anyway, I really don't get the "great emphasis is being put on players to keep notes (if they want to win).". What's that all about? That's what computers are for. Keeping notes in a game that lasts for just 2 hours with no other games being played at the mean time is ok, but for a turn based site, where there are lots of players making a habit of dragging games out into months, if not years? Come on. Doesn't make any sense to me, and for me, would totally take away the playing pleasure.

Heck, if "keeping notes" is supposed to be fun, why not get rid of all the graphics of all the games? Just send "14 Kf3" by message, and let the player keep notes if (s)he wants to win a chess game!
