Aganju: The more friends you have a community
the greater the range of tournaments to choose
as well as the selection of teams

Aganju:
1. Yes you can join as many fellowships as you would like.
2.you can only join a team for a game type in one fellowship but can join teams in any fellowship, eg, you can be on the checker team in fellowship A. but not B. at the same time, you can however be on the checker team in fellowship A and the backgammon team in fellowship B, therefore there is no conflict.
3.every team has a captain and determines who plays on their team, some by ratings some by first come first serve.
4. some like to be "the best". Also the bigger the fellowship, the more active it is, usually
5.most fellowships have descriptions on their main page, you can click on these names to read them http://brainking.com/en/Fellowships

Good Luck

Can somebody give me a hint where to find a bit of info about 'Fellowships'? There seems to be no explanation anywhere (well or I didn't find it).

I understand that you go into a fellowship to play team tournaments, but what else is the point?
- can you be in multiple fellowships?
- if so, what happens if they play each other?
- how do you get to play if a fellowship has 100 members and the tournament only 5 games? Random?
- why are fellowships so eager to get new members (I got >10 invites the day I became a member)
- and most important: how do I choose the right fellowship for me?

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Can we find ONE Team to join in July 2011 Japanese Chess #3 Tournament

send a link, copy the URL in the address, otherwise you will not see what the tournament

Vikings: Duh. Thanks!

I have written an instruction for beginners to players http://www.hot.ee/kabeaken/BrainKingEe.html Jaak did it

Aganju: add 2 days for the weekend

Can someone help me understand this?

This tournament (http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=544073&sadb=1) has a 'time control' setting of 5 days 5 hours, but all the running games show more than that, like 7 days and change, even if no move is yet played.
Why would a player get over 7 days for his first move when the time control in the tournament definition says 5 days and 5 hours??

[the cited data will become outdated in some days]

Tournament: These are a few of my favorite games. ;)

Your tournament is finished.
Dice Chess 10X10

Winner of the tournament: Varazslo

The Lines of Action World Championship will be played in London on August 22nd 2011 at the University of London Union. This is the standard 8x8 variant. It is my understanding that the event will be a 7-rd Swiss event with 25 or 30 minutes per player and controlled by an International Chess arbiter. Last years' World Championship was won by Andres Kuusk from Estonia. Results after the event will be posted here or can be found at the official website, www.boardability.com.

The event is being run as part of the annual Mind Sports Olympiad featuring Chess, Lines of Action, Poker, Backgammon and many other games. The MSO 2011 will run from Aug 20-28. Full details are available at www.boardability.com. Please see that website or send me a message for further details. It would be good if some enthusiasts who play here were able to make the trip.

CONGRATULATIONS

cervenec iv2 2/2011 pavoucek

Clandestine 1: I'd love to play, but I'm ashamed to say I've dipped below 2300 for the first time in ages.  Desperately trying to gain another 17 points in time, but probably won't make it 

happyjuggler0: I agree, but thats the beast when it comes to playing here. I dont expect to get more then 2 divisions of players (maybe even one). I suspect this tournament will go faster then predicted.

Can we find ONE more Team to enter 28.6.11- Americká dáma Checkers Team Tournament ?

It is 3 days late in starting, yet there are Teams with enough players to enter, and Teams that only need a player or two

The next 4 Team Tournaments are:

July 2011 Catch 3 Kings Dice Chess 10x10 #2 - Dice Chess 10x10 - 4TH JULY

July 2011 Fevga #3 - Fevga - 11TH JULY

July 2011 Odie's Battleboats II - Battleboats - 15TH JULY

July 2011 Japanese Chess #3 - Japanese Chess -25TH JULY

Dice Chess 10x10, Fevga & Battleboats are already filling up well , can we get a few more Teams for Japanese Chess ?

rod03801: I love tournaments. They have the competitive aspect of games, but on steroids.

For that reason tournament organizers are my heroes, and I am grateful for anyone who organizes one.

If you want to know why I won't be playing in this tournament, or any x-gammon tournament, check out the starting date of this one:

The first doubling cube tournament

I won't play in 1 point backgammon tournaments either; there is simply too much luck involved for my taste.

Between the two problems with x-gammon tournaments, I won't play in any x-gammon turn-based tournaments, despite my inherent love of tournaments in general.

My apologies to any gammon tourney organizers for saying so publicly, but I think prospective players in such tournaments should be aware of the inherent problems in them....

Clandestine 1: Not a lot fall into that category. There's only 39 people above 2300. And 22 of them are pawns, and could already be in tournaments. (They can only be in 1 at a time)

28.6.11- Americká dáma - Checkers - Only 3 Teams

Hi everyone,
