Nothingness: As furbster says, purchasing Brains is temporarily disabled. New ways of obtaining them will be announced later.
Anyway, you can still make prize tournaments and offer memberships instead of Brains.

I do not want to NOT speak to all my opponents....but I have a game coming up against someone I have no desire to talk to or listen (read) to. Is there a way to turn of this person so it doesnt affect my other opponents......thanks

Subject: Re: language barriers

h657: Well, not exactly, it must be the same position 3 times in a row, not just the same moves (it is not identical in all cases). Furthermore, BrainKing never ends games in a draw automatically, it must be always requested.

Subject: Re: language barriers

Nothingness: If you both make the same moves back and forth 3 times, then it should end in a draw automaticly. If, not...then report it to Fencer.

Nothingness: You can make a move and check the box that says "Offer draw with this move" before you click "Move". This way, your offer stands while it's his turn.

You might want to make a comment like "½-½?" too, to make sure he sees your draw offer.

IM in a game of chess that has deadlocked i offerered a draw 3x and it wa snot accepted then he offers me a draw and then makes a moves so this nulifies the draw. if i do not move yet again i will lose how can this be avoided? i dont think he speaks english to communicate the draw.

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Pedro Martínez: Interesting. How would a game of Battleboats, for example, end in a draw? There is no situation where a draw can arise in this game. One could use the "Offer a draw" link, but pointless in this game as there is always a winner!

Herlock Sholmes: Sometimes people just play for the sake of playing. If you don't like the concept of "X game" matches, don't participate in them! There are enough alternatives that come close enough to what you want.

AbigailII

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Universal Eyes: Odd game matches can result in draws as well for most games. Odd game matches only guarantees a winner if a single game cannot end in a draw. Most games on BK can end in a draw.

Vikings

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Herlock Sholmes: "2 out of 3" would be simply a "2 win match", 4 out of 7 would be "4 win match" they are the same just not called the same as to what you are accustomed to.
As far as the 10 game match, it shouldn't be confusing, it is simply a "10 GAME match", you either win by wining more than 5 games, lose by losing more than 5 games or tie by winning 5 games, if it were the way you suggested it would have to be called a "most points in x games match"

AbigailII: thanks Abigaill ... I think this current system is a little bit confusing ... lets say 10 games match would make sense if players would earn different scores in every game ... 10 game match would make sense if we added points for each game of Dice Poker for each player ...for example, 190 points for player A and 217 for player B in the first game, 202 for player A and 224 for the second player in the second game, and so on, till the last, 10th game (each time totaling these scores) ... otherwise it doesn't make sense to me ... we should introduce the system 2 out of 3, 3 out of 5, 4 out of 7 and so on ...

9. April 2010, 00:21:12

AbigailII

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Herlock Sholmes: No, a 10 games match lasts 10 games. If you want a match where the first player to reach 6 points wins, you should play a 6 points match (aka 'best of 11').

coan.net

Subject: Re: check also this game

This may be more of a topic for one of the chess boards, but for any dice chess games, I will ONLY try to take 1 of any of the 2 "matching" pieces (with the exception if it is in danger of taking my king)

Since if all you have left is a pawn & king, well then you have a 50/50 chance of moving the king each time (so attack with king) - If your opponent has 6 different pieces left, then they have a lot less of a chance of moving the pieces they want.

So yea, if I have a chance to take someones last rook, but that rook is not putting my king in danger - I will not take it to help my odds more.

Subject: Re: 10 games match question

Herlock Sholmes:I believe the match is set for ten games so the winner is the first to win ten games, not the best of ten.

is it enough to win 6 games in this match or we have to play the whole number (10) games anyway ?

Subject: Beauty of Dice Chess 10x10

I play this game with passion ... the more I play it, the more I am excited ... it's the only game I know in which by losing pieces you actually increase your power ... to the point that a single king alone can be the most dangerous weapon for all your heavy pieces and your kings still on the board ... why is it so ? well, statistics is the answer ... when you have only one king you can be sure yuor next move can only be done by your king ... it creates very uneasy situation for your opponent ... even having a queen, two rooks, knight and pawns your victory is not certain ... this single king will try to come close to your pieces and if luck won't be on your site, you will loose these pieces ... it's the only game I know you can enter the mouth of a lion and still get out of it as a winner ... it's the only game your pawns can bypass heavy pieces with grace and get promoted ... it's the game of luck and intricate tactics (more than it looks at first) ... a game of fun after all ... thanks to the inventor for creating this game for us.
