AbigailII: Brainking reports the match as a draw and your BKR is calculated based on match results.
However, those statistics are color based statistics. I'm guessing they refer to game results rather than match results...

But I'm sure Fencer will enlighten us...

AbigailII: I think he means that in a 2 game match, isn't it supposed to switch colors in the 2nd game? So if you were black in one game of the match, you would be white in the other game of the match. So he is wondering which color that would be classified as a win for, if one person won both games.

I had originally answered the same way as you, but then I re-read it.

Subject: Re: Finished Games
pauloaguia: I've played many 2-game matches where both sides have won one game. Brainking always reports them as a draw. It counts as a single game when calculating BKR. So, I assume it's counted as a 'draw' in the statistics on the rules page as well.

Subject: Re: Finished Games
AbigailII: Actually I think it's the number of won games.
If not, in a 2 game match, how would you count it if a player won both games? As a black victory or a white victory?

Subject: Re: Finished Games
Hrqls: Actually, that number gives you the number of finished matches. If you and I play a '9 win match', and you win 9 games, I win 8, and we have 7 draws, it counts for just 1 in the statistics, but we have played 24 games.

MrWCF: at the top of the game rules is a box with Statistics of won games ... add up those 3 numbers and you have the total

i am not sure if games which were finished (give up, or time out) within 2 moves are in there as well .. neither am i sure if unrated games are in there .. i dont think games which dont count for the win statistics of a player are in there

Subject: Finished Games

Is there any place on the site where I can see the total number of finished games of a particular type? 


I see where I can get the total number of running games of a particualr type.  And I see where I can get the number of games of a particular type finished by each of the 50 most active players.  But I can't see where I can get the total number of finished games of a particular type.

Some time ago I think someone mentioned a link(?) to go to in order to translate a conversation - I've looked through BK and on the net but have trouble finding one that helps me.... one of my opponents is having a one-sided conversation with me since I don't speak Czech.... could someone help me please? Thanks!

Nothingness: I cannot see any invitation from you in the Waiting Games list...
I think in guest mode you can sell all games... I say this because I noticed in the past that the red number by the waiting games list is always much bigger than the one I can see when I'm logged in... but then again, I may be wrong.

Nothingness: i have a low rating in that game and cannot see your games when i look at waiting games so i am assuming other low rated players cant either

7. January 2009, 15:37:58
Nothingness 
i also checked this on guest mode and it seems that it is open to all players.

7. January 2009, 15:24:51
Nothingness 
i am unsure if the settings have taken hold. I currently have two games posted both with settings where players with low ratings under 1700 or 1800 cannot play me. in the past players with 1100 have been able to play me. Its says anyone can play when i look at my posted game.

Subject: Re: continual problems
Nothingness: when you say "it says anyone can play" I assume you mean on the invitations area under opponent where it says 'anyone'. This just means the invitation is not to a specific player, and not that your BKR limits are not in place.

does this help?

Subject: continual problems
I still am unable to adjust the quailty of the ratings of the people i wish to play. for example i posted a game of open espionage but i do not with to play anyone lower than 1800 and no higher than 4000. i clicked the area where you can adjust this but when i posted the game it says anyone can play. i have been trying to figure this out for the last 2 years with no luck...

MadMonkey: How about a setting in the Tournament that by default is the way it is OR that can be changed to play another game

That's already possible. What I do when I create an elimination game is to not use 'normal game' but a '1 win'. In that case, the game is replayed (with switched colours) in case of a draw.

Tuesday: Yes you have to use the largest number of rolls possible.
In that case the rolls are {1} and {5}. You can use both. So you should use both. :-)

Tuesday: It will not let you. If you moved your 9 piece, then all your pieces would be on the 14 point and you would not be able to use the dice with one on

Fencer: Thanks, although at present no one has gone anywhere

I personally think a better rule should be found. With this lowest rating thing we may as well just toss a coin at the start.

How about a setting in the Tournament that by default is the way it is OR that can be changed to play another game . That would be a lot fairer way to do it

p.s. Like the new pic, about time it changed LOL

can we have the option back to include all games when creating a tournament
its sure is time consuming having to click the extra 125 games

Something has happened , a game page now loads between 0.76 and 1.9 depending on game involved. Whats odd is that i only blocked them on the main page as they do not show up as being there on any other page i can find, though coan.net says it does. Have to wait for him to wake up lol
