Subject: Clock Spelling

Ok after the joviality of yesterday I looked at the new blog and noted a reference to the time. It made me remember a post from a few days ago about spelling in the clock settings. It still says Sidney!!!

Fencer: This Dice Chess game is having a melt down i think.
Its my go and has rolled me a Knight (2), BUT for some reason it will let me advance my Pawn and take my opponents King. Odd eh.....
Why ?

2. April 2007, 18:06:58

Fencer

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: Because you will promote it to a knight.

Fencer: But i have thrown a 2, so i should not be able to move the Pawn should i ??
Pawns are 1's

MadMonkey: Because Fencer must be your godfather, Ian... eheheheheh.
It's always usefull when our godfather is the boss! ;)
Yeah, Fencer answered you... his point is also good, but I rather mine! The result is the same, YOU WIN! Oh, I'm still so proud of you, my good-mad-young-student... ohohoh!

MadMonkey: Time to RTFR - read the f* rules ;-)

2. April 2007, 18:12:20

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: Referring to the rules! Yay! the rules always boss. If a pawn is to be promoted (would advance to the last row), the player can move it even if the die does not show 1. However, he can only promote it to the piece chosen by the die roll - for example, if 3 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to a bishop only. If 1 is rolled, the pawn can be promoted to any piece.

Subject: Re:

nabla: I just been and read them. All the games i have played of it i have never come across it. Odd rule, i advance my Pawn and capture the King, why would i want to promote it to anything ??

Loved the April 1 blog, and based on all my experience with EU rules, found it quite believable!

2. April 2007, 18:32:02

nabla

Subject: Re:

MadMonkey: It's rather the reverse way, you want to promote it to a knight because it is the only way to legally capturing the king !

i love the game filter BUT is there a way to block sertain people off the list when u go in to view waiting games couse i dont want to see this robtoo witch is always listed for every single game multiple time and never plays a rated game

Gabriel Almeida

Subject: Re:

alanback: Yes, it's true. EU over-rules everything. But it would be even more believable if Fencer talked about TVA and other tax-stuffs. That's a true concerning of the EU... they make the rules, they need money to support themselves, so they concern about taxes... It's a logicall thought! ;)

Subject: Re:

Dead: I suggested that unrated games should be labeled as "unrated" on the waiting games list. Currently unrated games are listed as "Normal" games. I wish we could relabel unrated games, then filter them out as an option. There is no reason not to, and it is easy to do.

Gabriel Almeida

Subject: Re:

emmett: That souds good. But, completing dead's purpose (as I understand it), I think something else should be displayed in that filter, in order to we could see / not see some people. Or (a suggestion), if we put someone in our "blocked users list", will we see their games in the waiting room? That could be a solution...

Well don't feel left out TarantinoFan, I don't have anything new on my profile page either..... and haven't had all day, but from the sounds of it, it may not be for pawns like me this time, since, other than the flag, I have no icon. My guess is it is for certain levels only..... but we will soon see.....

There has been some sort of code flashing next to your icon on some people's main page or on their profile page, maybe other pages as well, I'm not sure about that, but, but not on mine, and I guess it has quit for today.

Subject: Color code

it was in fencer's news today : http://brainking.com/nl/News
(the one posted on the 3rd of april)

there is a little more info on : http://brainking.com/nl/PaidMembership?p=3

as i understand it : when you see a color code you can take advantage of its bonus : when you purchase a membership at that time, you will get an extra (according to the bonus and color code)
