Anyone an idea how I can retrieve my password for my old account? I honestly don't remember the email adress I registerd with. Already sent two messages to Fencer, no reply though. Tia, wekke2002, formarly known as wekke :-)
I've just noticed a curious side effect to the new vacation system: I have 2 chess games against a very strong player who stopped logging in for the past month. His vacation clock is winding down with 7h to go. He has 33 running games, and should time-out in all within one hour. Now here's the twist: When he times out his first game his opponent will "gain" a lot of BKR, but those "gains" for the opponents will drop sharply as the hour advances, because the player who times out will "lose" rating for each finished game. So the first opponent who "wins" gains a lot of rating points from winning against a strong player, the last one gains less, because the strong player has become mediocre within one hour. Tragic...
likewowman2cool: That's the one I was kind of thinking might help him a little, too.
I'm STILL hanging on to hope that someday one more option will be added. Move and Go to next flagged game
Where you can flag certain games. Prize tournament games might be something one might like to flag, for that option. Or if you have a lot of games, and you know of people who would like you to move fast with them, you could flag that game.
I can think of a few other good applications for that feature!
Carpe Diem: Have you checked out the options on the first page of your settings? I mean the part where you can choose which options are in the menu when you "Submit move and .... "
I swore there was an option in that list that might be appropriate for what you are asking. Maybe I'm wrong.
EDIT : Eh, I looked, I guess not. But there are some good options there if you haven't seen them.
Fencer: Thanks for the quick reply. So it sounds like what I'm looking for doesn't exist. :( I guess the best way to go for now is to use the "Play Later" button for games that keep coming back that I want to get to later. If you ever find a way to add this option, it would make things perfect on an otherwise great site.
Thad: Yes, exactly - this is what I'm looking for.
Carpe Diem: What's needed is a sort by "games that have been waiting for me to move the longest" option. In other words, sort by opponent's last move time.
Carpe Diem: Actually, the "Sort next games by" option is obsolete (and should be removed) because games are sorted by time left only due to some performance issues we had observed in the past. It means that "next game" is always the game with the least time left to make a move.
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here (at least to being a paid member and going crazy with hundreds of games), so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Now that I'm signed up for lots of tournaments and have a few hundred games on the go, I'm trying to fix the way games come up for me. I have it set so that once I've moved in a game, it automatically takes me to the next game, as I'm sure most people do. My issue is what the "next game" is. What's happening now is that games I've just moved in keep coming back to the top. So, for example, I'll have 150 games waiting for moves, but sometimes I don't get more than 10 or 20 down the list for an hour (unless I select them manually or use the "Play Later" button, of course) because a few people involved in dice poker (again as an example - could be any game) keep moving quickly, and those games keep popping up. I've tried changing the "Sort next games by" setting, but that doesn't help. Ideally, I'd like it to go through the whole list of games waiting for me before coming back for the next move with anyone. I assume/hope there's a setting somewhere I'm missing.
rabbitoid: In order to make such a tool safe and easy to use, I would be something like "Click to fix this tournament" button anyway. A script to check all running tournaments once a day and fixing the bugged one seems to be a better solution.
Guys, when I have time for it, I'll try to fix all such tournaments at once. But now I cannot promise any date, I am quite busy with many other things.
Is there anyway to start this trny Game Addicts Ludo & Backgammon Mania # 1 its from 2006 and we are set to go. If not,,,can you just remove me from it please. and also this one
ketchuplover: There is no "fine conversation". He has refused my draw offer and waits until the last minute of his three week move restriction. As far as I understand, he is older than I and will likely die first.
ketchuplover: He still hasn't moved yet, OMG. By the way, I think he literally signed up for every single game in this particular tournament and I doubt he's moved once in any of them. This seems to be a problem that plagues BK. It does occur a little bit on other sites but never to this extreme.
ketchuplover: Nope, Brainking doesn't reconize draw positions other than stalemate. If one or both players refuse to declare a draw you need to contact Fencer to end the game manually.
Purple: Upon further investigation the game reached 2 kings only on red's 167th move. Last move was red's 241st. No captures inbetween. Apparently the site doesn't recognize the 50 move rule.
Ack, I've got that horrible feeling now because I know a tournament that I started recently will go on for years because of this one person. Hasn't moved against anyone in the section yet, has started thousands of games and keeps signing up for more. Will probably end up hijacking hundreds of tournaments.
I'm not sure if it's been asked before but is there any way pawns can play ponds? Would be much better as the ponds would be bigger and they can play every other game on teh site anyway.
