People who don't check their events aren't even going to know one was offered and the person offering it has to constantly ignore the game every time they log on.

Border C Rule: I propose that anybody who has had to changed their identity on Brainking should be banned from posting - although I'm SURE it won't happen (worse luck!).

They should also be banned from sending pathetic personal messages.

ketchuplover:


although it wont happen i second th proposal

a perfect solution

that a minimum games played limit be set before you can post on the forums. Thanx

I think, it'd be great, if we had such feature for whenever there is a forced move. We have auto pass for backgammon and it works fine. Why not extend it?

I am hopeful that there will computer analysis of games so that one may learn where one went wrong.I don't trust my own analysis or that of any man or woman.We live in the age of machines.

ketchuplover:

Turns out I am correct. an (X) number of games match is the total number of games ...IMHO the match should end when one player can no longer win or tie the match. SO THERE!

Aganju:

I now see the errors of my ways. Thanx.

ketchuplover: in a 10-point match, NO. You need ten points to win a 10-point match.

In a 10-games match, YES, agreed.

I found game 8638385, which is a 10-point match. Which one is going wrong?

Aganju:
In a 10 point or 10 game match the match should end as soon as one side scores at least 5.5 points or games...it doesn't occur in my matches

Should be easy to implemnt:

1) Pawns have a 3 square first rule option and can move two or attack 2 thereafter.

2) Upon reaching the other side they can promote regularly, become a Reverse Pawn and move the opposite way down the board, or become a second King.

3) If a player has a second King they can move either on into check if desired or move another piece while in check.

Aganju: I'm not the biggest proponent for auto pass for Ludo, but I think it has been shown that this argument isn't huge. We already have it for backgammon, and it seems to work well. So it seems like it might be appropriate for Ludo too.

I agree with what you point out though.

ketchuplover: can you explain that what you mean? As far as I understand, that is implemented.

the match should conclude when one player can no longer win or tie the match. Please implement asap tyvm

Carnie: i think this was asked before (I'm all for it!)
One of the issues that was brought up was that you might come back to a game that you don't recognize because it could have moved twenty or thirty times (while you were trying for a roll you can move).

Carnie:
So let it be posted. So let it be done

cpaul_d2004: http://www.seirawanchess.com/ - I see rules. Interesting, but Fencer have finished to develop this site.

Could you please add Seirawan Chess? It's a great game, played on an 8 by 8 board but adding an Archbishop and Marshall.

P-G: That sounds very interesting. I for one would like to try that..:}

Aganju: I wish I had known that. Thanks for the info!

pgt: you can always resign them, even if it is not your turn. If less than two moves were played, they do not count for rating.

I put up 6 invitations to play Backgammon, with the message "Please do not accept more than 2 games" (I like to play a variety of opponents, who might have different active time-of-day). One player then accepted all 6 games, despite my message. Is there some way to cancel some of these games? The player in question does not reply to any messages, not even to apologise for accepting all 6 games, even when I have translated the messages to his own language. (Needless to say he/she has now been added to my "blocked user" list, so it won't happen again, but I'd love to be able to just delete the unwanted games.)

Thank you ketchuplover for your suggestions, I will try to use Google after I retrieve my password for Brainking.

P-G:

1. Make sure your device's volume is high enough
2. Try other browsers if you can
3. Update your sound driver/card
4. good luck

I am playing in a tournament where one section is finished, and the other section, where there is already a winner, has two games which looks like they could take another year or more to finish at the current rate. Now I might not live that long, which will drag out the tournament another three years as everybody waits for ME to move. Is there SOME way to get a tournament moving when the players who are holding it up have ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF MOVING TO THE NEXT ROUND! This is sooooooo frustrating and totally unnecessary!

We do have knight relay chess I see but not relay chess.
That is any piece inclu. the king that is protected by another piece
can move either as the piece protecting it or use it own moves.

small example from the beginning position the knights both can move as rooks or as knights.

There are two general types of scoring system of Go.

Area scoring (including Chinese): A player's score is the number of stones that the player has on the board, plus the number of empty intersections surrounded by that player's stones.
Territory scoring (including Japanese and Korean): In the course of the game, each player retains the stones they capture, termed prisoners. Any dead stones removed at the end of the game become prisoners. The score is the number of empty points enclosed by a player's stones, plus the number of prisoners captured by that player.

Reference:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)

I want to use Area scoring in brainking.com.
Because area scoring is understandable for beginners.

If there is disagreement about which stones are dead, then under area scoring rules, the players simply resume play to resolve the matter. The score is computed using the position after the next time the players pass consecutively. Under territory scoring, the rules are considerably more complex.

Please take into consideration.

pgt:

I guess a divorce might be a more certain way.

ughaibu: Probably not a bad idea if that would improve your concentration

pgt:

Perhaps I should request that brain rooks can be traded for several brain knight memberships.

ughaibu: This usually happens to Brain Rooks who are playing so many games that they don't concentrate on each game!

I have just clicked the wrong button for the third time in recent weeks. It would be nice to have a warning so that this doesn't keep happening.

This version uses No dice per say, but it does use all 21 possible dice rolls though. But its strategic in that you can choose any available dice roll. Once you use it...its gone. Once you roll a 6-6 you cannot roll it again. Until every other roll has been used.

panbg2: yeah the version I created doesn't exist..

Better as this
http://www.bkgm.com/variants/LongGammon.html

Who do I suggest it to?

4 pawns and king vs army.. King w/ 4 pawn gets 2 separate actions per turn.

ughaibu: I don't see handicap in rules https://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=69

There is a handicap feature for shogi games, but it appears that it can't be used for tournaments. I'd like to try a tournament in which the players each play one game giving and one game taking a handicap against each opponent. How difficult would it be to set that up?

Please add DiceCheckers:
dice 1 - no move
2,3 - move or hit to the side of vertical 1
4,5 - move or hit to the side of vertical 8
6 - move or hit to any vertical

Carnie: agreed.
But be aware that some games would end after one or two 'real' moves then...
