Yes but that will soon drop if they are not deserving of it. I have had it happen, suddenly found myself with a great rating at games I'm not especially good at! It does happen, and mine sure dropped fast when I started playing with simlar rated players!
I think it all depends on the ratings of your opponents for those first four games.
But its curious,that sometimes a new player, who has only played 4 games against players with bad or without rating,suddenly has one of the best ratings.
If you click on 'established BKR only' it will filter out all the provisional ratings for you, and leave you with the players who have established ratings :o)
But its nice for provisionally rated players to see where they fall in the ratings tables.
After a player has completed 4 games they are given a provisional rating which will be in italics. Once they have completed 25 games the rating is then changed to standard text.
Likewise with rankings ... after 4 games they are included in the "all players" ranking ... and then after 25 games they will have an "established BKR" ranking followed by their "all players" ranking something like 23(44)
HAHAHA astro LOL...it had a few more hits since you went in but there is NOThING there that was there yesterday LOLOLOL....As you say someone just trying to get hits to his crappy site LOL
Bernice if you are dense you're not alone.I see absolutly nothing about a chess contest on this site.It looks like to me that someone is trying to get hits on a crummy web page that he set up.
Hey I guess it worked I fell for it.I was the 26th visitor so far.
Theed??? is this really the done thing...advertising another site on here....it has nothing much there,...when did it open....today? when I was there it had had 18 visitors :( and not very clear what to do, but then I am a bit dense
Not to Jinx anything but I just wanted to say that what ever you did to your code seems to have been the trick to make the site much more stable. It seems to be working amazingly! Thanks muchly!!!!
I played a few games at the liberary today. I logged out, then I was automatically logged back in. So every time I tried to log out it just takes me back to my main. Now anyone who sees this sites name in the address bar at the library computer can mess with my games. So I decided to come home and change my password and find that there is no way to change my password either.
Labor day is Mon. Sept.1, i see that GT has Tues. listed as a site holiday, i don't know which is right. i need to take some vacation days, and would like to work around the site holiday.
thx. ellie
I agree completely, this site is a great place to game. I do not have much experience with other sites, mainly because I have read the general chat boards first. I have found that the majority of the people here are friendly and considerate, and most seem to want to maintain at least the semblance of civility. Hats off to Fencer and hopes the site will prosper.
1, Unlimited games.
2. No advertising.
3, No 3rd party Tracking cookies.
4, No Spyware.
5, The most friendly games players on the net.
6, The most helpfull & knowledgable players on the
net.
7. The most helpfull Webmaster on the net.
8, A great range of games to play.
9, An absence of the "Child mentality" that other sites have.
10, Taking into account all the above, the very reasonable cost of a membership.
Minus points
A certain amount of site "Slowdown" at peak times
Looks like the positives out number the negatives by 10 to 1.
Having a paid membership is not just about service. This is a new site, and this is the best site. That is why we keep coming here despite the growing pains. Having a paid membership is a way of contributing to the development of this site, a way to make it better and support solutions. However, I believe the most important reason, IMHO, is to show our appreciation, and respect, to Fencer for all he has done and continues to do. He, and Liquid, devote a great deal of energy to this site and any real returns are still future speculation. I could have gotten along just fine without paying. I paid to show my gratitude. It's not much money for what we DO get.
well im sorry....i have to agree with ROD03801...this site is amazing at the moment.
Get your PAID MEMBERSHIP NOW Sir Pussycat and take advantage of the great service hehehehehe
Strange things are happening... I have just a couple of minutes ago noiced the high memory rate that my Mozilla browser was using, so i switched back to IE6 & low & behold BK is back up to speed again.!!!
(Edit)
Me & my big mouth.!!! It`s going slow again.! LoL
My Wife is a paid member here and I was planning on buying a membership also. But after seeing howmany times she was unable to get in and the number of times she has been booted out while playing a game. I have decided I did not need to pay for that kind of treatment, I already get it as a free member. =^..^=
I'm also on webtv, and it usually happens after I click on "move and go to next game"... What I do, and it works every time, is when that happens, I click on one of my "fav" buttons to get me back to the main screen. Then I click on a game, and after making my move, instead of clicking on "move and go to next game", I use "move and stay here". From this screen I click on the red numbers that show at the top of the page next to "main page", and that will take me to the next game. I do this 2 or 3 times, and after that the white screen disappears and I can use "move and go to next game" again.
I'm on webtv too, and this does happen once in a while.. I have a feeling it has to do with the cache getting full... but don't quote me... but yes, you need to disconnect and come back to fix it..
Hi, latly every game i play ,after i make a move and hit the submit button,the screen goes blank or white, and hitting the back button doesn't help either,and each time i haveto go back and hit my F key and log on to start the next game,.I'm useing web tv ,I dont think that has anything to do with it,but you never know. anyone have any suggestions any help would be greatly appreciatedhated roy
I just read my last message and it could be taken the wrong way.. by "Teams can play each other" I mean that a team member may join a 'fellowship tournament' (for members just of that fellowship) and find themselves playing their fellow team members.
I thought I'd better explain that so there was no misunderstanding! :o)
Do you guys mean that basically team support is there, but the code isn't there yet to be able to have tournaments between the teams? That is what I think I am understanding here... I think... :)
