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. 30. August 2003, 11:09:11 Subject: Re: Rating players regardless of the game 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. 30. August 2003, 11:00:56 Subject: Re: Rating players regardless of the game 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. 30. August 2003, 10:44:59 Subject: Re: Rating players regardless of the game 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) 30. August 2003, 09:38:22 Subject: Rating players regardless of the game How can you give a player, a number 1 rating when they have not played at least 25 games?..they should be classified as 'unrated'.. california man 29. August 2003, 10:44:36 I've edited the address Bernice! I would have deleted it completely but then your posts would have made no sense! 29. August 2003, 06:58:05 Subject: Re: New Chess Contest  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 28. August 2003, 22:11:24 Subject: Re: New Chess Contest 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. 28. August 2003, 06:34:44 Subject: Re: New Chess Contest 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 28. August 2003, 03:51:41 Subject: White out I just wanted to say thanks to all those that ans. my site seems to be o.k. now,, Thanks again 28. August 2003, 03:25:22 Subject: Re: Thanks, I was trying to be too intuitive. I was looking for a settings or a preferences. I didn't think to look at profile. 28. August 2003, 03:16:54  May 1 is "Labor day" in Europe and is "public holiday" on BK, but since July 4 is a holiday on BK
i suppose it can be fair :) 28. August 2003, 03:10:42  Oh, I guess you are right - I do see some "public" holidays - but I don't see anything for Labor Day. 28. August 2003, 02:53:19 Subject: Re: Holiday / Vacation  yes it does bbw , but i dont think it favours the uk holidays more usa holidays 28. August 2003, 01:52:32 Subject: Holiday / Vacation ellieoop: This site does not have a holiday schedule. This site does it better!
You can take your own vacation / holiday days by picking which days you want as your vacation/holiday in the "Settings" .... I think that is what you are asking?? :-) BBW (BIG BAD WOLF) 27. August 2003, 23:46:28 Subject: Re: ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!! You are right Bernice! I will retract what I said and just say it to myself lol.. erasing all traces of jinxdom 27. August 2003, 22:51:40 Subject: ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!! you know what happens when you start saying things like that HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sheeeeeesh some people just never learn LOL But you are so right :) it has been just great 27. August 2003, 22:45:52 Subject: Thanks Fencer 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!!!! 27. August 2003, 22:31:51 Go to your profile and click 'edit' next to your name. There you can change your password and disable auto log in :o) 27. August 2003, 22:24:29 Subject: Loging out. 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. 27. August 2003, 21:58:02 Subject: Fencer 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 27. August 2003, 20:59:51 Subject: Re: Paid membership "DITTO" IAN!! 27. August 2003, 08:28:59 are we having problems?? Im sure i just deleted the same "TIMED OUT" message 3 times :( or am i DYSLEXIC roflmbo 27. August 2003, 05:09:21 Subject: Re: Paid membership It is a very good place to play chess. Got my nickel!!
The new invite option I really like for tournaments, GOOD JOB on it. Una 27. August 2003, 03:48:46 Subject: Re: Paid membership 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. 27. August 2003, 00:48:42 Subject: Re: Paid membership Did i regret joining Bk.? - No
This is why List of the plus points 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. 26. August 2003, 14:02:42 Subject: Re: Paid membership Three cheers for Rogue Lion! Ditto dude! 26. August 2003, 12:56:32 Subject: Re: Paid membership 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. 26. August 2003, 09:10:56 Subject: Re: Amen. Fabulous site and getting better everyday. :o) 26. August 2003, 09:09:21 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 26. August 2003, 08:24:15 Subject: Re: re: Paid membership If you have not been gaving problems getting in and staying in, you are one of the lucky ones. A lot of people are having problems. 26. August 2003, 05:13:41 Subject: Re: re: Paid membership  Obviously a complainer who doesn't know what he is talking about.
The site is working better now than it has in months. 26. August 2003, 05:08:11 Subject: re: Paid membership Good luck with your decision, and thanks for sharing it with everyone! :-) 26. August 2003, 05:07:03 Subject: Re: screen white's out 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 26. August 2003, 05:03:17 Subject: Paid membership 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. =^..^= 26. August 2003, 05:02:40 Subject: Re: screen white's out 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. 26. August 2003, 03:51:16 Subject: Re: screen white's out That`s exactly what`s happening. Wish i knew the answer.:) 26. August 2003, 03:44:11 Subject: Re: screen white's out  Ian: Agreed, It does seem to be a site problem no matter which option you choose when you make a move, it sometimes just stops. 26. August 2003, 03:38:24 Subject: Re: screen white's out I`m using a PC & the same thing keeps happening to me also.! Clicking on the "Refresh" button works though.:) 26. August 2003, 02:31:56 Subject: Re: screen white's out 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.. 26. August 2003, 02:06:28 Subject: Re: screen white's out  You can hit the Cmd and then R key 5 times in succession real fast bui the surest way is to turn it off and re-connect. 26. August 2003, 02:02:33 Subject: screen white's out 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 25. August 2003, 19:23:01 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) 25. August 2003, 19:15:21 Subject: okay! Well, I look forward to seeing it implemented... I would love to play atomic team chess! :) *drools* 25. August 2003, 19:06:23 Thats right, Zucan! Teams can play each other, but not different teams from other fellowships yet. 25. August 2003, 19:04:15 Subject: Meaning? 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... :) 25. August 2003, 18:58:44 Subject: Re: What are teams in the fellowships? the teams in fellowships are for team tournaments againsat other fellowships , but they havent started as yet ....(its still in the pipeline) << < 638 639 640 641 642 643 644 645 646 647 > >> |
