Key McKinnis: You´re right. I was seeing the board upside down... You can make perpetual moves between your 2 pawns...

Ok, now how do I get my opponent to realize this.

Doesn´t he accept the draw offer?

Oh, I was looking at it wrong too...

have you asked your opponent for a draw already, with an explanation of why it's a draw???

I think I have heard of Fencer "drawing" games for people in a situation like that when one person refuses a definite draw.. but maybe I imagined it.. Worth a try though.. :-)

rod03801: Have heard the same as well...

I'll try one more time when he moves again.

Key McKinnis: PM Fencer and he'll call the game a draw.

Happy New Year,

Sophisticated contestants please message me to arrange faster matches.

No cheating!

When the running tournaments are over
I find it nice idea,when a tournament will be hold,where all or allmost all of the ranked players will appear,
the 28 players with a rating an let's say 36 with a provisional rating

do you find this a good idea,
and are you free,just
drop a note,to say you will enter

and top 28 players,do specially....

how more of you will enter,how greater the tournament

Here is a direct link to the tournament:
Groenevelds Alquerque Tournament

come on,guys
were are you guys??

Don't you wanna challenge the other top players??

I don't play Alquerque much anymore, because the board is too large, and it frustrates me to scroll up and down constantly to see the whole board. I enjoy the game, though! If Fencer shrinks it, in the future Groeneveld, I will start playing again.

oke,but good that you react...

a week has passed and not a single entry,

I can't believe it....

I don´t play alquerque anymore as well. White wins all the time...

I don't play it for the same reason as Rod..it's a shame really i don't play Jarmo very often, for the same reason and i love that game.

i understand
but 1 player after so many weeks,
it's a shame,a great shame....

I found it a good idea,a tournament.but i quit with trying there is no animo

1 player,WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ....

Groenevelds Alquerque Tournament

just 2 weeks to go,
you can still enter,but i need at least 7 players
to start,for 3 or 4 I find it useless

so come on,what are you waiting for??

Groeneveld:

Congratulations cobra1 for winning the tournament

Hope next time ,there will be more players who take part

Groeneveld: thanks

my opponent and i agreed on a draw in this game but we got 0 points for it ?

is this a bug ?

Hrqls: The game/match is a "2 wins match" - so I think you only gain a point for a win.

... where the "2 point match", I think it gives you both .5 for a draw if I remember correctly.

coan.net: ah! sounds logical :)

thanks :)
