I'd like to add a link on my site to yours as a a reference regarding all variants chess sets decsription.

Am i allow to do it ?

Is there any way to allow the Japanese Chess Team Tournament to start.

I know we only have 3 teams, but it would be nice to play, especially as it is a more select type game. I have messaged a couple of Captains, but no one wants to join in.

p.s. Can someone create some more Team tournaments please

Aganju: I believe the brain system is disabled and you can not purchase them. The members who have them currently are players who purchased brains in the past or won prize tournaments that offered brains as a prize.

Can someone explain to me a bit more how to get Brains?
On the site http://brainking.com/en/Brains, it says:
"20 Brains for free - it can be a good start for everyone. By completing a simple process of easy tasks, you will be awarded with 20 Brains and you can start to explore all other possibilities with no actual investment. Please visit this page for details."

But the page it links to only says I can buy a membership for someone else to get brains. Although that might be 'a simple process of easy tasks', I wouldn't call it 'no actual investment'. So it doesn't fit together.

The wording sounds to me like there is another way to get your first brains, and the link got lost or changed. I could not find anything.
I also did not get any brains for buying my own membership. So it looks like instead of buying a membership, I should have better donated one and got brains for it? Am I missing something???

Roberto Silva: lol, thanks. But i sent to Fencer personally the information he needs.

skyw7: Only you and your opponent can see in-game messages, no one else can (not sure about Fencer) ;)

Fencer: Game ID: 5280847
That's the id, and as you can see in my msgs to him/her, i mention which are the dead stones.

Thank you.

skyw7: It's been a long time since I played go for the last time, so I am no longer sure how to determine dead stones. Please send me the game ID and coordinates of opponent's dead stones.

skyw7: If he refuses even after you asked him to, you can send a PM to Fencer asking him to end the game manually.

What can I do if my opponent does not mark his dead stones?

And further posts along the same lines as what has been hidden, will be deleted, and those people banned as well. NO warnings.

rod03801: Thank you.

Taken care of

I am hereby requesting the BrainKing Team to ban the two accounts below from Discussion Boards. It has gone too far. Personal data should never be posted on a public board without the person's consent.

in back and nack i cannot see the black checker when there's only one checker on a point and it's on the opposite side. it;s harder to see against the red and purple backgrouds. i tried all the other backrounds, it doesn't change the bd. colors. i changed from font to castle and simple. i have real good eyesite and no problem when it on my side and i have made the bd larger and smaller.. what about graphics, can we change that and would that help? i have no problem with any other games.

Its a BK problem as others have the same issue

Its nothing major, just something else that broken here now

Gabriel Almeida: looking there now there is not one red number out of 9 friends there, BUT if i look in my friends list there is brb-----> 48 and 3 are against you

SL-Mark: lol

DeaD man WalkiN: Yes, i know

Looking across now it says there are only 2 friends i have to move against, BUT i know i have games to play against at least 7 of them. (which it shows if i look on my full friends list)

MadMonkey: the red numbers only show if it is Ur turn to move. hope this helps out..

SL-Mark:

“Programming today is a race between software engineers (Fencer in this case) striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning”

MadMonkey: It's been a bit "off" since Fencer did those changes a month or 2 ago. I notice it seems to be accurate when I'm on my Main page. If I'm on any other page, the red numbers vanish.

Edited to add : Though that doesn't always seem to be true either. SOMEtimes anyway, when I'm on the Main Page, the red numbers are there and correct.

What has happened to the little red numbers (showing games waiting to move) beside the Friends list in the top right corner ?

Mine is showing 10 friends there at the moment , and only one has a red number BUT if i goto my Main friends list (by clicking link of left of screen) it shows nearly every Friend has games waiting.

aaru: Interesting but too many games for me !

I am looking for people willing to play MEGA MATCH with me in all 128 games.
2 separate games with P1 & P2 (it means in total 256 games).
Time for move to be negotiated.

It's OK now.

Thad: It could be a script that runs just once a day, and hasn't run yet.

I finished a game several hours ago and my new rating is reflected on the ratings page, but I still appear as an inactive player. Does anyone know why? TIA

Herlock Sholmes: No, he said it is like chess, in that it does not have a luck factor.

Ticampos: You try to tell me that game of chess has luck factor ?

I created a variant of chess that is played like soccer, Soccer Chess is the name, if anyone is interested in playing this game or know their rules, contact me by Brian King so we play by email.
I can tell since the game does not have the luck factor, such as chess.

Iamon lyme: One last time. There have been NO restrictions on the board since that day. You have NO restrictions.

This will NOT keep going round and round on this board. Thank you

rod03801: You guys you keep say "that" day or at that one time. I don't see anything funny about this.

Iamon lyme: You are doing something wrong then. The board has NO restrictions. You have NO restrictions. There hasn't been an issue SINCE THAT DAY. I don't know what else you need to be told.

happyjuggler0: that occured to me too, but I don't think I did that. There are only three buttons to look at, send preview and search, and the send button is directly below the writing field. I make mistakes, but I doubt I made the same mistake repeatedly over the course of an entire week.

Vikings: Not so. I attempted to post messages over the course of at least one week. I couldn't have been on temporary standby all of that time, except by extraordinarily repeated coincidences. No matter when I tried to get a message on the board it wouldn't happen, at the same time other ppl were able to post. I don't mean to belabor the point, I'm ready to move on, but frankly I have a hard time believing any of this. For whatever reason it happened I will move on and let it go.

Vikings: Maybe he hit the "Search" button instead of the "Send" button.

I've done something like that before when sending BK mail in my message box here.

Iamon lyme: there was never any post of yours to approve at that time, and by checking the date and time of your questioning the post, the problem with the board was the night before your post and already back to normal by the time you said that you posted, something else must have happened. I approved every post (some with editing) with the exception of one. Usually when a board is changed, the post slow down dramaticly and since you rarely post to that board, I assure you that I would have remembered it.

rod03801: Fair enough. I'll scroll back to see if my posts were approved or not, and will not complain about it one way or the other. I'm done with this.

Iamon lyme: As I believe has been explained. There was trouble going on, on the board. The moderator of the board chose to put ALL posts on approval status. So that meant ANYone who posted, would not be seen, until a moderator checked the post and approved it.

As has also been stated, it had NOTHING to do with you.

The status is now back to normal, and it is time to move on.

Vikings: Does that mean everyone needs to perstonally ask to get back on? The same thing happened to me last week. I'm not really bothered by this except for the fact that I haven't done anything at that board since my last message posted on May the 24th, and didn't know I would be wasting precious time and thought put into writing just to see nothing happen. My window of opportunity for doing anything here is very small. Is there any way to inform someone before trying to do something they can't do? I'm not trying to flame you, I'm just trying to explain my frustration over this.

Iamon lyme: It had nothing to do with you, multiple people were making personal insulting post so everybody was put on (post must be approved) status to put a stop to it.

Thanks for the fast response, but I'm still puzzled as to why anyone would think my posts need to be monitored. If I've been off topic it's only because I've responded to someone elses post. If someone wants to take pot shots at my religion it only seems fair for me to be able to respond. Compared to what I've already seen there, my posts can hardly be called inflamitory. I was banned from a board at another site many years ago, for no other reason than my point of view disturbed too many people.. in other words, I didn't agree with the majority of people writing to that board. The only problem I've experienced here is someone writing lewd and insulting pms, so I blocked her from contacting me again.. No problem with that, I've learned that sort of thing goes with the territory. Still, I am curious to know what anyone has to worry about me writing to a politics boards.

Iamon lyme: Could be that a mioderator has to check content before posting it for you.

Iamon lyme: The board was on approval earlier today.

Okay, this time it worked. So what's up with the politics board?
