Just put the link in the middle of a href= and <"/a> (again without the ", I need that to show you because it will not show without it). When you copy and past link:
i.e. http://www.brainking.com/game/Board?bc=45
remove everything before /game because some people use different methods ( http://www.brainking.com, www.brainking.com, brainking.com, newbrainking, etc) to get in, removeing that part will allow everyone to use your link.
Here's the bottom line. If you don't like the time limit in a game or tourney, don't join it. This is not a real time game site. It is turned based for a reason. If you want a real time site, might I suggest Yahoo or MSN. I'm in a 30 per turn tournament that has been running for over a year and it's not done yet. Do you hear my whinning about it??? No because I knew it could take that long when I signed up.
What bothered me is that I'm in a tournament that started in july. The person I was playing was rated higher than me then. Now I won the game today, but because my BKR is 1000 points above his, I gained nothing from it.
Ok everyone, you have 24 hours to sign up for my New Years Chess blowout!!! HERE. The winner gets a 6 month rook membership. Some of the top players on the site are in this and it should be very fun. Good Luck.
I the first game of his I looked at (with you Blue) he has until jan 27 to make his next move. Weekend days don't count so it's 21 days per move, only counting 5 days a week. That is the only down side of being a pawn, only one tournament at a time. If you ever decide to upgrade, that is no longer a problem. I have about 400 games going right now in at least 75 different tournaments.
Ok that's strange, when you click on that link, did it invite you automaticly? I've gotten 3 PM's in the last 10 mins telling me people accepted the invites, but the only person I invited was chatty lol. Everyone is welcome to join, I just thought that was kinda strange :)
Anyone else want to take all the BS off all the boards and put it somewhere???? Try the FLAME PIT. This will be a one stop, all you can eat, trash talking, in your face DB. Lets move all the junk off the public boards into here.

Subject: your description is
"I'll play anything, send me all your invites."
WHY?
You have way more games going than you can handle! (see my posting on the message board).
You're holding back dozens of tourneys, at least 100 people! Think! DON'T sign up, DON'T start new games, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead, DO play the ones you already have going, I'm begging you!
Geez....
You P$ss me off, (wo)man...
NoMeansNo
Now just to let you know, NoMeansNo, in the only tournament we have together, I have no moves, it's the other persons move in EVERY game.
Ok here's why I play:
1)For fun
2)If in doubt, refer to #1
BKR means jack to me. I play because I have a good time and there are alot of very nice and entertaining people on this site. I'm only 24 and I could spend the couple of hours a night that I spend on here doing other things, but I enjoy this. I'm not a serious, hardcore player of any of the games. I play by the rules and if I win, I win, if I lose, I lose. It's an internet gaming site. ESPN isn't going to cover any of our games. Nike isn't going to name a shoe after the winner of (insert tournament here). To me, it's about having a good time.
and BTW, I just used a week of vacation and I'm still using some more in the upcomming weeks, I have 9 1/2 days till my next move is do in that tournament.
No Means No, why did you call me out by name? How about ohhh, everyone else in the section I'm in? I currently have 414 games going and with the site being the way it is right now, I play my games in "time till timeout" order. That tournament has 7 days per move. Sometimes I need that much. I don't sign up for games with a short number of days per move because of the site problems. When the site is running ok, I play all my games in one sitting. If you would like to play more games at one time, it would really help out the site to upgrade to a knight or rook. I'm not talking down to you or any other pawn, but it's just the truth.
