How come we can't turn off banner ads permanently any more? Has that feature been revoked?

King Reza: Ambiguous chess? Assuming you weren't joking, you can't see the result until the other player makes a move.

Thema: Re: "move and stay here" for battleboats variants only
plaintiger: I play backgammon and chess variants. I like to play one or the other sometimes, so i'll run through all the backgammon games and leave the chess until I have time to think about them.

$ONE$: Nonsense, this isn't poker and the analogy shouldn't be drawn. Poker is all about concealing your hand if not called, it's part of the game. Keeping chess games private is not.

No more private games please.

*BOB*on*Bush*: Battleboats has a winning strategy?

I think you want them to be private to hide the fact that there is no winning strategy

Thema: Re: elimination-tourneys seedings...
All:

I vote for 4 systems (chosen by organizer)

1.Random each round
2.Random, but brackets known at the start
3.Seeded (1 vs 64, 2 vs 63 etc) Reseed each round based on current rating
4.Seeded, bracket known at start.

gambler104: Well Spanish and English for instance. In the case where a letter exists in one and not the other that's ok, just limits the words it can be used in to that language (e.g. "w" wouldn't appear in a Spanish word.

Some languages could coexist, but it would be kind of klunky.

Thema: Re: New game
gambler104: yeah, um, that didn't make a lot of sense.

Not to mention the letters are different in each language (even if they are the same, the frequency should be different).

Perhaps a multi-language version is possible where either language could be used and the letter frequencies were somehow averaged between them? :)

Thema: Re: auto-pass (dont hit me, maybe here comes something new)
gambler104: If doubling is an option, then autopass is clearly not going to kick in. However the choice should be "double" or "pass".

Where doubling is not an option we should autopass.

Could someone explain this tournament to me for example?

A WHAM BAMS #1 (LUDO) First brain prize.

How come the brains don't add up to 100%??? Where do the remainder go?

ScarletRose:

Hear hear!!!!!!!!

No need for more than 200 in my opinion. You could guarantee moves all the time at the level, particularly if you opponents were also limited.

I second the request.

Thema: Re: Added Rule for Anti-Chess
Marfitalu: The rule has been in effect for more then 500 years, does anyone claim to have played prior to that??

It was introduced at about the same time as the 2 square pawn move to combat the effect of evading the enemy pawn too easily. Other rules introduced at about the same time:
Castling.
Unlimited Queen and Bishop moves.

There aren't that many rules really, it shouldn't be hard to learn them!! I did when I was about 6.

Thema: Re: Added Rule for Anti-Chess
Daniel Snyder: Just because people are ignorant of the rule, doesn't mean that the rule doesn't exist. Frankly I'm astounded that someone who plays the game can NOT know the rule. How come???

Thema: Re:
Vikings: Problem is not slowness of play, it is usually number of open games. With 1000 games open it's almost impossible to play quickly in an individual game.

I'd like to request Fischer Random Atomic chess. This eliminates the opening theory (as in regular chess) and has been successfully tried on other sites (schemingmind.com for one).

pauloaguia: ? of course ? not sure what that means, but i was just saying the 52% is probably about right - a slight advantage

Thema: Re:
pauloaguia: I thought white had the first roll (I know they can't actually move a piece until a 6 is rolled, but the first attempt is an obvious advantage)

Thema: Re:
hexkid: Backgammon is obviously not an advantage since there is a random roll to see who starts anyway.

However Ludo does probably have a slight advantage since it's essentially a race.

Thema: Re: Move limitations and automatic for removing of tournaments
SafariGal: Quite right, for instance I'm not moving now because I have no games where it's my move. So that might look slow ;-)

grenv 
Thema: Re: Move limitations and automatic for removing of tournaments
mctrivia: you missed the point of the rating, which would be "how quickly does this player play". Playing once every 7 days in a 7 day game is not the same as playing 10 times a day in the same game.

26. Juni 2006, 02:34:34
grenv 
Thema: Re: Move limitations and automatic for removing of tournaments
SafariGal: I like the idea of having the rating, but I also think the group winner should be decided as eraly as possible.

26. Juni 2006, 00:47:50
grenv 
Thema: Re: Move limitations and automatic for removing of tournaments
SafariGal: Agreed, the problem is that in tournaments that should be over quickly, one slow player can ruin the whole experience.

This could be partially fixed by figuring out the winner of a group prior to every game finishing, and starting round 2 before round 1 is over if all the winners can be determined.

Thema: Re: Automatic for removing of tournaments
mctrivia: What makes no sense is someone timing out, yet a vacation day is automatically added, yet they are actively playing some other game. That's not how it was intended!

juls31: Which i think is solved by not allowing people to move on vacation days, which is implemented on some sites.

Thema: Re: Automatic for removing of tournaments
CryingLoser: Good idea.

How about if a vacation day automatically kicks in then you can't make any more moves for 24 hours?

Thema: Re:
mctrivia: How many games constitutes rated really? There is a guy on top of the Dark Chess list after 4 games and a rating above 2100, yet he beat players rated only 1200 - 1600 in that time. Playing him would be a good way to boost ratings but it wouldn't be fair.

Perhaps any game against a player without an established rating wouldn't count?

Instead there should be a weighting where the less established the opponents rating, the less effect the result has on yours.

Thema: Re:
Pythagoras: Problem was I joined a stupid tournament and didn't read the rules properly. But even if I entered knowingly it would be impossible to play out the game if someone decides to wait till i sleep before moving. And someone actually admitted they were trying to win that way by the way.

BIG BAD WOLF: I know that now. I have noticed that certain players are deliberately playing such games and then waiting for the right time to move. This is bloody ridiculous behaviour.

I request that these silly time limits where I end up with 3 hours to make a move don't time out while I'm asleep. In other words don't count hourly time limits from midnight to 6am or something.

Be careful entering a tournament or ladder where you only get an addition 3 hours per move, since you will lose if your opponent waits to move until just after you go to sleep.

6. Juni 2006, 00:19:28

Thema: Re: Rated players vs. Unrated players
Summertop: A better solution may be to wait until the player gets a rating, then apply that rating to the game you played against them. Unfortunately that requires some more complex programming though.

5. Juni 2006, 23:39:13
grenv 
Thema: Re: Rated players vs. Unrated players
jurek: It was pretty obviously sarcasm. After all if we only let unrated players play each other they would become rated, but the ratings would be meaningless.
