Otsikko: Apologies
I was offline for a couple of days with a corrupted hard drive!  Some of my games rolled over on auto-vacation (some with only one losing move left )

I would just like to offer my apologies to any of my opponents who have been waiting patiently for their games to be returned to them (or for their winners notice )  I should be back to making my average amount of moves for the next little while. Thankyou so much for your patience!

Muokannut stegosaurus (2. Kesäkuu 2007, 19:46:41)
When I was a knight/pawn, I calculated like this:

For tournaments with 1 game for each 2 players:
X = M - 1

For tournaments with 2 games for each 2 players:
X = (M - 1) * 2

M = maximum players per section
X = number of slots to set aside

Otsikko: Large tournament sections
First idea is on the tournament description, start putting a line that says: "Pawns, Bishops, & Knights: XX Game spots are needed to start this tournament"

Currently - section size of 4-8 = 5 spots free (10 spots for 2 games per.)

Why not just do the following.

Section size of 9-13 = 10 spots free (20 for 2 games - which for a pawn, means NO current games)

Section size of 14-16 = 15 spots free (30 fo 2 games - with pawns not able to join)

If the border has a class name (different names for different games), people can change is to whatever colour they want with style sheets. ;-)

Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
Fencer: good enough.
For future decisions like this one, if you want light colors, you can always pick the letters of the game name that are allowed in hex format and see what color comes from that.

Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
pauloaguia: I think it was because colours are a matter of taste and he knew that some people would complain whatever the colour. But now you have made it a much simpler feature request : swap colours between Amazon Chess and Extinction Chess. No new colour involved, no complain - hopefully :-)

30. Toukokuu 2007, 14:56:15
Fencer 
Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game

pauloaguia 
Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
joshi tm: yes... I never understood why Amazon Chess has a coloured border and Extintion Chess doesn't. The first one has no special rules to play (except for a different piece, which is rather obvious) while the second is easilly confused with regular chess...
But it's probably an extremly hard thing for even Fencer to change because, though it may seem like a simple request, many have asked for it befor, but to no avail...

Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
Gabriel Almeida: I've got also that problem, clicking faster the submit button than thinking. But on the other hand, at real life Chess tournaments the rules are clear, touching a piece === moving that piece, if allowed.

I do not like to win for time outs, but to play the long forgotten games over goes too far.

There's another problem, Extinction Chess still hasn't a colored border. It looks just like ordinary Chess, but last night I lost because I thought I could trade queens. I would like to play those games over, if my opponent would agree :(. And of course a disco flashing popup that says: ""WARNING THIS IS AN EXTINCTION CHESS GAME!!!!"" or a colored border is enough. :).

Gabriel Almeida 
Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
nabla: Yes. I think an interesting "increase" in this hpothetic-possibility could be that a take back move should be asked before the next move of the other player. Sometimes it happens to me, speccially in checkers variants: notice a big mistake just after submiting my move!

30. Toukokuu 2007, 13:14:26
nabla 
Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
Gabriel Almeida: I am afraid that Abigail is right, it would be a real trouble-maker. The problem is that people have very different definitions of what a "distraction" is. For some, it would be to leave the king en prise in a chess variant without checkmate. For others, it would be to lose a pawn to a 5-move combination.

Gabriel Almeida 
Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game
AbigailII: Yes, that's true. Some people forget they are ASKING something to his adversary. Anyway... well, I admiss this could be a "trouble-maker". I always accept a re-instate or a take back move, in those other 2 sites. I see no merit in winning points for distrations or for time-out, and I now much other people think like me, so it's hard for us, when we are playing, that we not even have the possibility to do it. There are advanges and disavantages on those stuffs, I know. Just wanted to know what's the "oficcial position" of Brainking.

Otsikko: Re: Take back move and re-instate game

30. Toukokuu 2007, 12:25:17
Gabriel Almeida 
Otsikko: Take back move and re-instate game
I bet those questions have been already asked, but... in my opinion, Brainking should have the possibility to take back last move, as in Kurnik (of course, if both players agree with it), such as the possibility to re-instate the game lost for time-out (once again, depending to both players agreement). Don't you think?
Fencer, is this a possibility in the future?

One question: in a pond (run around the pond) an opponent has 0 points for the current round. If I use 1 point will I fall to the pond? The next to the last player has 41 points...

I just had a message about a finished game report, and it didnt show my change in BKR like it normally does? It was a game my opponent timed out on, I dont know if that is what is different from other reports that tell me the change in my BKR?
