tavli = backgammon isnt it ? *ponder*

does anyone know mens erger je niet ?

its like playing bg with 4 players with 4 pieces each :)

i want to try it as well :)

seems to involve more luck though ...

*nod* that happens to me a lot of times when i look at my opponents dice

whats the link to you game ?

thanks :)

weehee! moved up one rank :)

*nod*

although it might be quite rude to send the pieces back to the bar .. maybe just dont allow that move .. but that might give away too much info when you know the dices ..

the dices need to be in the history, without the moves

while typing this i think i like the idea of being sent back to the bar ;)

as most games on here seem to have a dark variant .. what about dark backgammon ?

you wont be able to see the opponents pieces.
maybe you would be able to your opponents dices or points/pips .. or maybe not even those

any thoughts ? :)

*nod* ok :)

thanks

where does it say when a player is banned ?

is the opponent banned as well ?

will banned players be removed from the rating list ?

you can look in the 'waiting games' (link in the menu on the left side of your screen) or create a waiting game yourself

you can also invite me, i will accept :)

lol

i made myself check some matches i played ... the first match i checked already showed white passing on the first move indeed

quite funny then that in most matches white seems to win the games (even though its another playing with white all the time :))

*nod* white alternates .. but will the dices still decide who starts or will white always start ?

are the dices used to determine the one who starts in multiple game matches as well ?

i forgot to check .. but in most of my bg matches white seems to win most of the games :)

whats 'shogi' ?

ah ok :)

eh ... the 2 dices i got at that position was 2+6

(not 3+4 as the history shows)

at : http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=522115&i=22

i wasnt allowed to use the '2' to move a piece inside my home making it impossible to use the '6' after that .. i had to use the '2' to move one of the pieces outside my home, and then move that piece again leaving my single piece open oustide my home ?

*shiver with fear* :)

ok thanks

i think that covers all my questions .. for now :)

so if i can capture an opponents piece by moving 3 and then 5 .. its not allowed ? i should hop over it by using 5 first ?

ah ok .. will pay attention :)

thanks

hmm one more :)
(hey i just learned this game some weeks ago! :))

what if i have 3+5 once again in a situation where i can only play both dices with 1 piece .. so i can either play 3 and then 5 or 5 and then 3 .. do i have to play the 5 first ?

ah ok .. i didnt know it until someone told me :)

i used it in a game last week .. i dont remember with whom though .. if 'you' read this please send me a message if you want to do something about it

- suppose i have a 5 and a 3 in another situation and i can play only the 5 or the 3 (but not both) do i then have to play the 5 ? although the 3 might be a better move ?

look at this situation : http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=521868&i=52

i had a 3 + 5 at my next turn ...

i could have used the 5 first to move 19 to 24
after that i would not have been able to use the 3 as everything else was blocked from 3 steps

is that allowed ?
