Subject: Chess Variant tournaments
I have answered my own question about chess, and chess variant tournaments. It's sad to say , but Brain King is slowly Dying. Went through 152 pages of people that have logged in. Found 73 still active, less than half of those were paid members. :-(

Bernice: This site has not deteriorated since Fencer decided he wanted to sell it. You can still play all the games and he does regular updates. This is sill the best game site to play games in.

Smiler.: OK back in the earlier years there were thousands playing each day and only a minimal of these are now playing...Fencer used to be on here every day talking to us and making us all feel welcome...Now there isnt a hidenor heair of him to be seen. you have only been here for a couple of years, Ive been here for about 25 years so you have no idea what it was like back in the day...It might still be the best but it isnt a smidgeon of what it used to be. and as one of the old timers on here said in another group...it used to take just about all day to read everything and play the games now it only takes about an hour.

I'd not say "deteriorated", but the best days clearly have passed.
Maybe Fencer could consider to lower the membership prices?

Thom27: Why should Fencer have to consider putting the prices down? Has he increased them much?

Bernice: Not all people using this site bother with the discussion boards. From what I have seen and read in some boards in the past there was a lot of bickering going on. That might be your cup of tea but it not for some. Some people only play the games and have no interest in the discussion boards. I would not want to use up an hour of my time reading the discussion boards. I would rather play all my games as much as can in the time I have spare..
Fencer has other commitments and this site is not number one anymore and he had the decency to tell us that. However he still does come onto the site every now and again and plays some games. He also does regular updates and informs us when that is taking place. So the site has not 'deteriorated'. This site still functions well.
