nabla: But i think the rules of BrainKing about Backgammon don´t explain how works the first roll. I didn´t know this rule so i thought it was possible getting a double in the first roll. Backgammon isn´t a popular game in Spain.
grenv: Sure! Maybe i am wrong, well, the possibilities are 36: 30 of them are no double, in 15 of these starts the white and in the other 15 starts the black the rest are the 6 doubles [[1-1]..[6-6]] and in these cases with rules of BrainKing the white player moves the first.
pgt: It´s a good idea but could it be an advantage getting an double in the first move? I want to mean the first player has a better probability for starting the game (21/36 against 15/36) Is this a little and real advantage?
In this moment i have 20 unfinished single tournaments. In my profile, i can see 18 of them when i set the filter as running and the other 2 when i set it as open. My question is: Which is the difference between running and open?
I think it´s not a good idea. I can not imagine a game of chess with the white as black and viceversa. In this case, would the colour of the squares change too? If it doesn´t change then the queen black would be on a white square and the white queen on a black square with the current colour squares and in the other case then the right square of the corner it´d be a black square.
I think if it´s not possible a specific solution for each kind of game then it´s better the white starts always the game than playing with the colours changed.

It would be nice to have an option by which you can download all your chess games (present and past) in PGN format instead of one by one, as it works now.
The limit of teams per section is 8 in any tournament. I think it´d be interesting playing tournaments with 9 or more teams. For example, this tournament:
started in October 2004, now it´s still in the first round and probably it´ll finish in 2006. I think this tournament would had been more interesting with only one section with the nine teams because the first round was won clearly by Untouchables team and Blizzars team. I think a very long tournament as this, loses its interest because in the first round strong players play againts a weak opponnets and the decisive match will start 9-12 months later.
Would you prefer only one round in the next tournament "Châteauneuf du Pape"? Is it possible?
