About Backgammon - yes, it is exactly as Tony writes.
About Dark Chess - I've just added it :-)

Excellent. Well played Fencer. Yes, as mentioned, it would not be a good idea to let 3rd parties see any position. On IYT, only the pieces that have been taken are displayed.

I think that BK implementation is exactly the same.

battleboats...battleships...salvo....paddleboats...battlerow boats...sub warfare...sink my ships...battle dingys...S.O.S.... blow up them ships... thurrr she blows.... help im drowning!!... save my crew... stop blowing up my ships...anything... i need battleboats... gold token is now slow token... tooo slow....iyt is boring!!.... i need my boat fixed!!... im like on a deserted island and waiting for my ship to come in!...just so someone can blow it up....battleboats battleboats... enough said?....brain boats!! king of the boats...give us something!!...when ya can of course.....sorry had to get this out i miss devious salvo over at gt but its waay too slow over there....help....sos!!...haha

Eddie,that's cool! I'll play a game with ya! :)

its not here yet honeylo...i wish it was haha thats why i wanted to get people talkin about it...fencers cool when he sees things people want..

I too would like to see battleboats here and variations there of.How about "Ship for Brains" I love the Salvo at GT with 6 players that would be nice here. GT is slooooooow and IYT has to many errors pop up if you can get there.But, and there is always a but. Both are bigger sites with A lot more people playing.Let's just hope as this one grows the things we like about it grow as well...

I agree. I love battle boats plus on IYT. and I love salvo on GT. But both are slower than BRAIN KING, and the worst of the two is IYT, Because there are errors and it is hard to get in sometimes. But I am getting where brainking is my favorite. The only thing brainking doesn't have that GT does is place to put jokes or recipes.

So since there are clubs on brainking I thought if I am able to become a member thats probly what I would go for.

Wow, I just noticed that the waiting games now are all grouped together by game type. Much easier to spot the game that you want. Thanks

I'd like to see that here too, but surely if TOO much is added and there are loads more members things will slow down here too? Hopefully not but isn't it possible?

yes cause am thick as pig dirt in backgamon and havent the foggest how to play it but been a paddy wot do you exspect

The game is not visible so how can I play? Can it be fixed?

I can view it fine...what is it doing?

Nothing, it's not there! I was disconnected so I'll check on it again!

It's still not visible, but the message line is there!!

Have you checked out: http://www.chessvariants.com/multiplayer.dir/4players.html
There are some interesting boards concepts that might be neat to play on this site.

Why not have something that translates what you type into different languages??? For all to read instead of having for example different languages on separate boards... Instead of grouping people together.The whole idea of playing people from around the world is lost here, unless they speak your language.Not only would you be able to play with opponents from all over the globe,you could make pen-pals and get a culture lesson at the same time... Linda

NOt sure if this was mentioned before...are you planning to add this game to your list???

Lindalou: I don't have any translation program and that would cause a terrible server overload. Maybe later.
Emma: Yes! I'll update the TODO list.

Have never seen a foreign language section or in this case discussion board at any other game site.Iyt boasts of 1 million plus users, surely not all speak english.

Thanks,Fencer...I have a friend waiting for this game so I thought I would ask:)You have a wonderful site and it is very popular:)

Yes they all speak english.

Hi fencer, any chance on International checkers, it is the same as Czech checkers but the pawns can capture other pawn also by jumping back (zee the rules at IYT)

anyway ya can put peoples average moves per day on our profile pages...just average it out, you have the list daily..this way when ya look at someones profile you see how active they have been...

Please could you show what opponents' pieces are threatened, etc., immediately we make a proposed move. Then we may update Notes, before submitting that move.

Fencer - would it be possible to add a little drop down list for us gaming nutters who create more than a one of the same game at one time for the Waiting room. Maybe in the parameters section & default it to 1 game up to 10 for example :-)))
Just save all the backwards & forwards bit etc....

tonyh: Then what if the player decides they don't like that move after they have already seen the location of some of their opponent's pieces that they weren't supposed to see, and then decide to undo the move and do another one, so they eventually just about know their opponent's whole setup without making a move? :-)

Absolutely correct, Kevin. Forget my request, fencer; silly of me.

I know your feature request list must be getting huge, but I'm sure looking forward to the day that when I play the Backgammon games (and variants) the high dice defaults to the first move. :)

I think that this is already implemented, isn't it? Or am I missing something? The first dice roll shows which player starts a game.

Sorry, a misunderstanding here. I mean that on each turn, the high dice is automatically the default move. So if you roll and 3 and a 5. The dice show the 5 first, and that is your default move. Many of us are used to the other backgammon sites where this is how it is played, so when we click on a piece to move, it just moves the highest dice number first. (Does this make sense?)

i agree, that would be much better.

Ah-ha! Now I understand. I didn't know about this rule :-) Okay, I can do it. But if you cannot make a valid move with the first die, the dice are automatically swapped.

That's perfect. :)
And I don't believe it's a rule, just a convenience. :)

Please fencer ! how much longer in suspense before getting my fav game of Halma .
regards . John

I want to know when you will take a break and take a few days off! You are so generous to everyone and every day I see people throwing ideas your way... How about you take a few days off and relax for a change!!!

SHUT UP ROSE!

Thanks Rose :-) But I relax every day. I am connected to BrainKing only 2-3 hours daily and I work on BrainKing new features no more than 6 hours a day. It is like a normal full-time job.

Fencer: Wow that is phenominal that you can get so much done and not work around the clock. You do know what you are doing!!!

Stingeroni: BYTE ME!!!! ;-)

To turn the points off in backgammon race? If the points are going to be incorrect why bother having them?? :-)
Thanx..

I will fix them.

A great big (((((( Bear Hug )))))) for fencer !
can now play my fav game. Thx

The variants are good. Some new graphic options would be better. :)

Fischer random chess, which is not to be found on IYT nor GT

rabbitoid: Where can I find the rules?

Just in case you can't find them anywhere, try
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/Fischer_Random_Chess.html

Thanks! :-)

Fencer: Nice site. But how about a "pro" version of 5-in-a-line which has a limitation to white`s second move. Check out IYT`s "Pro gomoku" to see what I mean. 15x15 board size would be perfect.
I know many top players who rather play the pro version than regular.

actually... its a 9x9 board :-)

i think there is a problem with Loop Chess rules. When a pawn promote and be taken later, the opponent have the piece avaible to drop and he should have only the pawn.
