Fencer: Captured pieces ... Sweet.
Your highlighting the move squares and red check lines is nice touch.

Thema: Re: PGN to video converter

MadMonkey: Yeah, I thought it might be better to choose a game which I didn't lose.

However, the video generator is quite CPU-consuming, so I don't think we would ever add something like "create a game video" functionality to BrainKing. Maybe as an external service in the future.

Walter Montego: Hmm, that's unlikely. I don't plan to host any videos here, and I don't think it's possible to replay videos backwards on YouTube (or is it?).

Fencer: I like that Fencer, just right speed.....in fact it's quite mesmerizing watching it

And you found a game tenuki lost, that didn't happen very often

Fencer: That seems like a good speed.

If that is made a part of BrainKing, will it have pause and backward play?

I created a simple application that takes a PGN file (chess notation) and generates a MOV video to replay the game. It's just a side project, something like a programming exercise.

This is a sample output from the BrainKing database: https://youtu.be/OA73wSwNbHE

Any feedback would be appreciated.

(Too fast? Too slow? Some info missing?)

Thema: forgotten password

Hi, I'm asking this for someone who lost her password. has anyone here ever gone through this?

The form on the login page says: "Did you forget your user name or password? Use this form and the link to your password change page will be sent to your e-mail." but the form asks only for an email? I don't see the logic

However, 83704 and 83706 are fine (both are from July 2009).

Looks like someone asked to be deleted explicitly. Or got deleted for exorbitant behavior in some way.</a>

Me, to have no problem on the net, I pay with a virtual card. It’s a card valid for only one transaction and I choose the amount I want.
Happy New Year everyone.

P-G:
When I search "Access Code" on this board, I find that it seems to have something to do with the brainking app. That's all I found about it. It's been about 10 years since it was last mentioned.

Right under the "Access Code" of your profile, it says : "Access code is your unique identification string (generated by BrainKing). If you are using third party products to access BrainKing, you might be asked for this code to confirm your identity. This is NOT your BrainKing password, so there is no risk of accessing your private data if you provide this code to external programs.

Some one could explain what is really "Access code"?

I have just reset this and it seems nothing new after I log out and restarts Brainking.

Is that really useful?

I hope a usefull explanation and thank you in advance.
