Emne: Re:

Justaminute:

It is not part of the game to win on time with a lone king,

It is irrational to award a timeloss if that if playing the worst possible moves would still win or draw.
You can claim a draw in a quickplay finish, if the player isn't trying to win by normal means.

lukulus:

3 fold repetition can/has to be claimed of this site?

Me personally I don't think there is much benefit to 50 move/3 fold repetition claims not being handled automatically on the server. If you reach a position where you have a valid claim that can be made against you the odds of you winning are very tiny anyway.
If there is a claim draw button, I haven't noticed it.

Dude.
Lukulus gave you a clear explanation how it works here.
Please accept it and stop spamming. Nobody is going to change it.
Thank you.

Emne: Re:

thisbeme: You have PM to fencer. Its same as in OTB game when you call referee and in correspondence chess when you write to tournament director.

Of course, there is benefit. If you are trying to win you have more time to do it if defender wont claim the rule. In OTB game I claimed 3fold repetition in very bad position, so my opponents' chances to win were very good - but you are right, my chances to win were tiny:)

How do I move in this game where there is no "submit" button, and no "roll dice " button. The only way I can see to get out is to offer a draw or resign. HELP!

Why do Teams keep removing themselves from my Fellowship

It's easy to re-create them i know, and have them back, BUT when i do that all the players have gone............

28. Marts 2011, 19:39:47

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Teams cannot remove themselves. It is always triggered by a user.

Emne: Re:

Is it only Big Boss & Little Boss that can ??? most odd

Emne: what happened???

i clicked photo album by mistake and it says that it is my album. there's lots of pix but i don't know any of these ppl., i have seen some of the names on the site. any explanations?

29. Marts 2011, 01:37:26

Emne: Re: what happened???

ellieoop: If you clicked from the side menu (left), yes indeed you see most recent albums of other people, and most recent comments. To see your OWN album, you need to do it through your own profile.

rod03801: thx. rod. i surely wouldn't have know that.

29. Marts 2011, 15:56:52

Emne: Re: what happened???

ellieoop: I was inaccurate, though. At the very top of the page that you go to from "Photo Albums" (from the link on the left), would be your own albums, if you had any. THEN under that are the latest albums from other users.

I have not been able to log onto pente.org for the last couple of days. Is anyone else having that issue?

Emne: Re: Dweebo's

jouer: There is a Host Tracker link at the top of this page, which is recommended to use if someone has connection issues with BrainKing. It works for any other sites too and now it shows "Connection refused" error from all worldwide nodes. It means that pente.org is down and everyone has the same issue.

jouer: This is also handy place to try http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Just put pente.org into the box and see what it says....in fact i will

It says It's not just you! http://pente.org looks down from here.

D0 we know how long 'temporary" is? And do we know why it's down?

Bernice:
Yes I have lost many games because I have a limited time to make moves so if Brainking doesn't load or takes forever to load when I am able to make moves then I lose (uaually the games I least want to lose).

I thought people were only supposed to be "BigBoss" of 2 fellowships?

how come there are some out there with 3?

11. April 2011, 05:51:30

Emne: Re:

Bernice: Black Rooks are allowed 3. If it is a non black rook, perhaps they had 3 before the restriction came to pass.

After playing on a game neither the option of going to main page or picking a game from the drop down list works? No matter which I choose the first game on my game list is what I get?

Fencer: You know the old saying ? If it ain't broken don't fix it. Why do you keep making changes? I can't see if my friends have made their moves anymore. None of the commands work either. Are these temporary faults?

17. April 2011, 16:07:25

Sometimes I don't know why I even bother to write news and blog posts.

crosseyed: If it is boring, than no other response would be useful to you. The purpose of blog posts is to summarize all important information at one place, so smart people could easily find everything there, while lazy people just keep asking one by one.
If you call it "too much crap", you can hardly expect any further help from me.
