nodnarbo: This Achievement seems to apply also to Anti Froglet by mistake.

so I just got http://brainking.com/en/Achievements?p=1&aid=205 by losing a game, not that I'm complaining that I got the achievement, I just like getting things for the right reason.

Resher: Not yet.

Are there any achievements yet to do with Stairs?  I don't have any ideas, just realised I haven't seen any.

cd power: Yes, I know, I know
But it's funny :D

aaru: I've won the same way, too. It's not so much an achievement as it a gross error in set-up by your opponent.

how about play 500 hands of texas no limit holdem and not have to refresh your chips?

How about a "Won the battles, but lost the war" achievement for winning all your games in a tournament, but still not winning overall?  This would apply to triple gammon tournaments only.

Pedro Martínez: I'm not sure now... I have 11 won games of massacre chess, each lasting more than 10 moves, against unique opponents, and not in a fellowship. But I was not given credit for those, either. I give up... I'll just keep playing.

cd power: I think fellowship games do not count.

I still have a question on achievements. I have started many new types of games since the inception of the achievements, and have won more than 10 games against unique opponents (and more than 10 moves) in several game types since then, yet, my number of games in which I've won "10 games out of 50 game types" remains stuck on 39... why is this? Here is just one example:

10 of the 11 won games have 10 or more moves, but nothing has changed for my progress towards this achievement. Do these have to be public games? (not in a fellowship?) This has happened with several of my new game types already.

martes: A lot.

martes: That's only 1 match with 5 games, where are the other 4 matches?

Fencer: too late .. i am no #1 anymore ... it was fun while it lasted though :)

Fencer: Great, thank you.

SL-Mark: Yes.

Fencer: I take it that these achievements apply to all the espionage variants?

Fencer: This is fantastic thank you.
I do like the 'First Line Hero', but will leave that one until I play you

joshi tm: But this is how most games end?
Perhaps win by capturing all opponents moving pieces and not losing any of yours?

Could you add: Win a game of Espionage by capturing all opponent's moving pieces?

I have just added 11 Espionage achievements and I would like to add that, due to nature of this game and other things, these achievements will NOT be given manually on a player's demand, based on finished games.
It means that everybody shares the same start point.

AbigailII: I think there is a bug in those achievements, too. For the achievement "10 won games of 50 game types and at least 10 moves," I have watched and counted several variants where I have sailed past 10 victories against unique opponents and more than 10 moves, but the counter never changed. The only explanation I can think of is this: The unique opponents that you have beaten in one variant can not be the same opponents you have beaten in another variant. For example, if I beat 10 different people in atomic chess, I must beat a totally different set of 10 people in corner chess in order for me to get credit for those 2 variants, meaning 20 unique people. If this is not the case, then there is definitely a bug.

AbigailII: what if 7/10 really means you've beaten 7 different opponents if 50 different game types?

I thought this meant that for 10 (50) game types, you have to win 50 games against different opponents. But then it claims that for the first one, I've done "7/10", which I assume to mean that I've beaten 50 different opponents in 7 different game types; however, for the second one, I have "6/50". Which would mean I've beaten 50 different opponents in only 6 different game types.

But that doesn't make sense.

So, what does this archievement mean? Or is there a bug somewhere?

Fencer: lol

can = will ? ;)

Hrqls: It can be done.

its no achievement to hold the first rank on a game type ???

i finally managed to be #1 in a game type (wont be long .. dont worry :))
and then i found out it didnt give me an achievement :)

joshi tm: Let's see what's left: all checkers variants, some chess variants, Alquerque, Cam(elot), all boats variants (trivial), all Pente variants, all Espionage variants, all Go variants (very hard to capture all your opponents pieces - OTOH, each player has an unlimited amount of stones, so perhaps Go doesn't qualify anyway), Jarmo, Tablut, Tank Battle, (Big) Jungle. Spider variants have the same issue as Go: it's possible, but very hard to eliminate all pieces from the board, but the number of pieces in the hand is unlimited.

AbigailII: Oh, I see. Those games also should be removed from the list. Hmm almost all chess games.

joshi tm: A couple of games that have permanent captures, but will be finished before all opponents pieces are removed: Extinction Chess, Three Checks Chess, Knight Relay Chess, Racing Kings. And this is even side-stepping that fact that under regular Chess rules the game always ends with both Kings on the board - there's no such thing as taking a King.

Win any non-Anti, non Backgammon (or other game without any pernament captures) by wiping out all opponent's pieces on the board. That are a lot of games... this achievement is worth 50 ;)

Total annihilation: Win a Reversi game by turning all your opponent's pieces to your own color.

El Cid: That's more like it.

Fencer: well, by killed I meant found (either by killing or guessing). Or if you prefer it, me having 0 frogs left and my opponent still having frogs to be found

El Cid: If you have all your frogs killed, you can hardly lose.

On the frog finder achievements, how about "win a frog finder game with all your frogs killed"

martes: I think that achievment obly applies to normal Dice Chess. It does say "Kill your opponent's king" not "kill one of your opponent's kings"...

AbigailII: I think most of those are actually quite good and hard to get. Real achievments if you ask me

I'd just like to add one to the Checkers list (why isn't there a checkers achievment section?)
Power to the PeopleWin a game when your opponent had at least 2 queens before you got any (in checkers variants with queens, of course).

AbigailII: for someone that made the following statement you aren't doing a bad job

***I fully agree. There are many game related bug fixes/improvements/features I would rather have seen than archievements, photo albums, "walls" and other non-gaming stuff we've seen lately.***

alilsassy: He needs to know the table you were on and the round number

Fencer: Is there anyway to go back & check a previous poker hand? It was played at approximately 23:00 today @ No Limit Fast High Bets 10 seat table.
I thought I might have received the "And it is mine, all mine!" achievement. Oh well, even if I didn't get the achievement.....it still felt good.

In Shogi pawn drop checkmate is forbidden. This achievement is that the player leaves the opponent no option but to drop a pawn that is forbidden by the rule.

Given for player who worked for 10 released localizations.
