I checked to see if this was a "regional" NTL problem but unfortunately it does appear to be a incompatability issue with regards to our new software. (Liberate 1.2) - It would be good to know if any non updated users are experiencing these "glitches". ??? - Sorry i cannot be of more help. :( ---- (Edit)- If u r using settings set to row then try column. (It has worked 4 me)

the program does not know about ambiguous moves
if 2 pieces can move to the same square, the move must be noted with coloumn or line number. for example (english short notation), if white has rooks on f1 and d1, a rook move to e1 must be noted Rfe1 or Rde1, not Re1.

ellieoop: I'll look at your game. About pink pieces, I'll try to add more color schemes ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out. Just updated my TODO list :-)

eddie spaghetti: About foreigners - yes, it's pretty possible because the server is located in Prague, Czech Republic :-)

rabbitoid: That's right, I know about this little problem. It will be fixed ASAP.

About NTL, I'll try to do what I can. The problem is that I cannot test it myself so any help will be appreciated.

PattyMelt: All registered players are in the Player List. The problem is that the list is sorted by their first login time, not alphabetically, so maybe you've just overlooked your name. I'll add more sorting and searching options later.

Silkwood: Uh-oh! A cookie bug. Thanks. I'll add some method to prevent these infinite login loops.

this is too large for my computer-how do you change that

This is the biggest board i've seen , is there a way to make it smaller or creation of a smaller one like there is in the reversi??? :)

going to row format does not help me

Maybe smaller squares of the five in line board could help. Or should I create a variation with a smaller board, say 15x15?

ehh...glad to be back..LOL..and ..15x15 might be big enough!

I'll try to do my best.

I would be happy to help, if i can.:) - Thanks Fencer.

You can download an emulator of the ntl set top box from www.digitalcabletv.co.uk
Hope that helps sort the problem.

tiredguy u found the perfect solution.!!! Cheers m8 :)

i want to thank you for fixing our game, and darkening the pink, it looks great.
ellie

tiredguy: Thanks! I'll download that :-)

ellieoop: You are welcome :-)

Fixed.

After how many games do you get rated? Uil

Uil..from the FAQ:

What is BKR and how is it calculated?
BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.

thanks

For everybody who requested this feature: Now it is possible to turn the game message archive [displayed under game boards] off. It could be useful for users who suffer of too long game pages when the conversation "very live" ;-)

Is it possible (and if so, how ?) to turn off the email notification when it's my turn to move in a game ? I find all those emails very annoying.

If you go to your settings page, down at the bottom there is a box to check to say if you want email notification or not. That should stop the emails :)

Thank you for the help Niki!

I know I've queried it before .. and yes, I have read how the ratings work .. but I'm still confused !! How can someone only have played 4 games, against a low rated player, yet still have a really high BKR ?
I'm not jealous .. honest .. just don't get it ?? :0)

Mu wife also wants to play on BrainKing but we share one e-mail address. Is that allowed?

Ive played 4 line4, but im still not rated...Why is that?

when playin a 5 game match....after you win a game it sends you a msg but you dont get a win added on...once ya win the 5 game match or lose do any of those individal wins or loses count? or do you only get one win or one loss for the whole lot of 5 games?...

why can't i post games in the waiting room.im on ntldtv

Niki: If the player finishes only 4 games, the rating does not show his/her "real" rating because the formula is based on too few numbers. The rating should be more exact after finishing 20 games or more.

Uil: Yes, it is allowed :-)

BOMBER: Because in your game with Silkwood you [or the opponent] did not perform the first move. Both players must do at least one move to make the game rated. For more about ratings, please see FAQ page.

Eddie: Only the whole match result is counted for your statistics and BKR. Maybe I should improve the messages to make it more clear, otherwise it could be confusing, what do you think?

And there is a line about it at FAQ page.

yes, i wasnt sure and couldnt find it i didnt think to look on your faqs it sends ya a msg for each win or loss while goin thru the 5 games thats why i wondered i still havent finished a 5 game match yet thats why i asked...thanxx es

Thankyou Fencer ... that makes sense :)

Thanks fencer

thanks, i tell her

When my wife is login in on her name and password she comes into mine game page. I think we have a bug here

do u make sure you log out before she logs in? that might be it.. not sure just a thought

If u have at least 1 game slot free then u shouldn't have any problems.! - If u still have difficulties then let me know & i will try to see if it works 4 me.! :)

yes i have some slots free only playing 10 games
at the moment,still can't post a game to the waiting room.thanks for you help ian

When u have chosen your game options & clicked send does a new page appear telling u that the game has been placed into the waiting room.? - If it does then click Main Page to see if its listed. Do u know that any games that u place in the Waiting room will not be visible to u when viewing the WR page.? :)

I found that out the hard way.. i added games and wondered why they didnt show up in the waiting room.. then I found them at the bottom of my game sheet screen

yes, i log out before. Maybe it is the permanent internet connection we have

Oops, my fault. I will add better description and FAQ entry for this subject. Basically, the Waiting Games page contains only the invitations you can accept. That's why there are no invitations you have created.
