Gabriel Almeida: It could be possible only if BKRs are not changed by the timeout.

Gabriel Almeida: Nooooooo. Then you will get people calling other people names because their moves aren't granted to be taken back.

AbigailII: Yes, that's true. Some people forget they are ASKING something to his adversary. Anyway... well, I admiss this could be a "trouble-maker". I always accept a re-instate or a take back move, in those other 2 sites. I see no merit in winning points for distrations or for time-out, and I now much other people think like me, so it's hard for us, when we are playing, that we not even have the possibility to do it. There are advanges and disavantages on those stuffs, I know. Just wanted to know what's the "oficcial position" of Brainking.

Gabriel Almeida: The official position is to make the auction system first.

Gabriel Almeida: I am afraid that Abigail is right, it would be a real trouble-maker. The problem is that people have very different definitions of what a "distraction" is. For some, it would be to leave the king en prise in a chess variant without checkmate. For others, it would be to lose a pawn to a 5-move combination.

nabla: Yes. I think an interesting "increase" in this hpothetic-possibility could be that a take back move should be asked before the next move of the other player. Sometimes it happens to me, speccially in checkers variants: notice a big mistake just after submiting my move!

Gabriel Almeida: I've got also that problem, clicking faster the submit button than thinking. But on the other hand, at real life Chess tournaments the rules are clear, touching a piece === moving that piece, if allowed.

I do not like to win for time outs, but to play the long forgotten games over goes too far.

There's another problem, Extinction Chess still hasn't a colored border. It looks just like ordinary Chess, but last night I lost because I thought I could trade queens. I would like to play those games over, if my opponent would agree :(. And of course a disco flashing popup that says: ""WARNING THIS IS AN EXTINCTION CHESS GAME!!!!"" or a colored border is enough. :).

joshi tm: yes... I never understood why Amazon Chess has a coloured border and Extintion Chess doesn't. The first one has no special rules to play (except for a different piece, which is rather obvious) while the second is easilly confused with regular chess...
But it's probably an extremly hard thing for even Fencer to change because, though it may seem like a simple request, many have asked for it befor, but to no avail...

pauloaguia: Yes, it is. I still don't know the right colour.

Fencer: Sorry that I answered in your place

pauloaguia: I think it was because colours are a matter of taste and he knew that some people would complain whatever the colour. But now you have made it a much simpler feature request : swap colours between Amazon Chess and Extinction Chess. No new colour involved, no complain - hopefully :-)

nabla: good idea
