Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

I think you are correct, Mike UK. If there is no man on the bar, the count appears to be correct.

Subject: time out..

i timed out on game #23090 and also see one of my opponets ran out of time on another where timed out games fixed when the site got back up?..

Mike UK

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

The problem is always when there is a man on the bar - he seems to be counted twice giving a count 25 too high.

29. January 2003, 14:54:45

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

I think that I use the same rules. I'll check it out.

29. January 2003, 14:53:48

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

Well, what I do is count the number of dice pips, needed to bear off a stone. So black has three stones on 3; therefore, a count of 9. Every stone on the bar I count as 25; and that's basically it. Would welcome other BG players to comment.

Subject: Re: Counting squares remaining in BG

tonyh: It is possible that I don't count it correctly because I don't know the calculation method. Could you explain it to me please?

29. January 2003, 12:04:52

Subject: Counting squares remaining in BG

Fencer, please would you tell us how you calculate remaining squares. For example, in game 24026 (tonyh v MadMonkey), after move 14 pass, I reckon that Black's total = 105. Your total is 130.

Subject: Next Game

Fencer :-)
How does it choose what the next game u move on is ?? Mine seems to be which ever one has been waiting the longest. Is there any way to set it so it follows how our main list is set e.g. the shortest time next. :-)

Subject: Re: Notes

I haven't played Dark Chess on this site, but what i've found with the notes is that they appear underneath the game board, and if you type in new notes, it adds them beneath the old notes (doesn't replace)

Thank you Fencer for the new checkers games. You really do spoil us.

Subject: Problem with Dark Chess

Fencer, in 2 of my games, my opponents pieces were not visible on squares where they should have been. I have gone back to those games, and they are now there. Unfortunately, too late in one.

Subject: Notes

I want to use Notes in my Dark Chess games, to keep a record of my opponents' pieces. But the notes seem to disappear on my next move. How do they work?

Subject: a funny thing happened

i typed a message to my opponent..in the right box...asking about her family...we are playing checkers.
She replied with " oh yes that was a stupid move"..when I checked to see what she was answering to there was a "?" i didnt type that.
Is this site so clever it can query an opponents move??????

Subject: Let's pose this Question differently

I played an opponent close to my level or ( BkR let's say) and got 30 points upon winning. This was a normal game.So, had it been a 5 games match or wins or points,I would have gotten only 30 points for playing all 5 games versus playing normal games with the same opponent and getting 150???

Subject: Re: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

Yes. A 5 wins match keeps starting games until someone wins 5 of them.

Subject: Colors in the darkest sky

Thy come to be
for us to see
to watch and to enjoy

Thy shine your light
o´er mountains, trees and snow
o´er running waters down below

Thy is bright; spread your wings
by waves in North and South
leaving the earthly things with open mouth

Colors in the darkest sky
Thy
may it be
forever free..

Hi Elma, thanks for that. So, what happens, if I play a 5 wins match and I loose 1 - will BrainKing authomatically add another game to our lil´tourny, so I have the opportunity to get still 5 wins?? :-)

NIGHTFALL (August 25th, 2001 - Strand "Zuid" - NL)

I recall
no sweet night as this one
sitting on the beach
and feeling the sultry wind
around my shoulders
through my hair (as if it were your fingers)
O, fair
fair young night
looking inside
your door, what brings thy dream
all for what it seem
and for what I believe
is a sudden feeling of quietness, relieve
and a relaxing sigh
after the rocking waves asked "why"..
and the red of the sun
slowly fades away
towards another day
on the other side of the world.

Subject: Re: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

Hi Radiant, a 5 win match means that you are the winner after winning 5 matches, in a 5 point match you can also be te winner with 4 wins and 2 draws. In a 5 games match you are the winner if you have 3 points or more

27. January 2003, 00:35:15

Subject: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

To anybody who might know the answer: what is the difference?? I keep reading the explanation which is added to these variations, but it still feels like they are all giving the same results.. I am sorry, perhaps I am asking a stupid question, but I am not a native English. Thanks!
