Nope, the grwy background has been added to make a visual difference between these two text areas [notes and messages]. Several players had requested it some months ago.

I have played chaturanga for four players and think that it would be a good game to add to BrainKing. Team play is a lot of fun.

There is a large chess variant for two players called Big Battle (see chessvariants.com) that is played on a 10x10 board that would be a great addition. Not only is it fast-paced (a surprise on the larger board) but well balanced, like Gothic Chess.

It is not a mere variation on the theme of Gothic Chess, though; and on the strength of that and the popularity of chess variants on the site, I think that it would be good to give it consideration.

I've thought about that too. If you have a move option of picking who to play, its easier to choose from who is online.

I think the idea of games for four players like chaturanga is excellent!! Is the shogi game for four maybe too foreign, though? It would be very complex.

What a foolish thing to say.
It has NOT been "abandoned" here. I believe we were told that at some point it WOULD be implemented. If you don't care to follow the rules, you certainly don't have to play.
Not playing by the rules is CHEATING. No RESPECTABLE game lover wants to cheat. Period.

Sujet: Re: Doubling
Actually In backgammon it is frequent that a position is reached when one player cannot lose, even if (s)he rolls 2-1 and the opponent 6-6 for the rest of the game. Obviously this is only applicable if there are no overlaps and therefore no chance of capturing. In these cases you should resign unless both players are happy to keep chatting. It is really only tournaments that I would apply this to since a lot of other players may be waiting for the outcome before proceeding.

Sujet: Re: Doubling
Peacepickle; I took the liberty of looking at your profile and see that you play only Backgammon. This is a game where you can have remarkable turn-rounds, even when everything looks hopeless. And you have a super rating, which means that you lose rarely!
A game like chess, though, can be totally won; getting the win quickly can take ages!
When I play games for chat and fun and I was in a lost position, I would suggest that I resign and start another with the same opponent.
But a game like chess

Sujet: doubling cube
I think it should be handled like it is at IYT... they have a version with it, and a version without it. The version with it, is a 5 point game. Maybe here we could decide for ourselves when creating the game how many points it would be..(which of course we already do with multi point matches)
I definitely wish the doubling cube was here.. and I'm sure at some point, it will be.
But as discussed a while back on the backgammon discussion board, I would rather backgammon be fixed to follow the "if you CAN use both dice, you MUST" rule, first.

Sujet: Re: Doubling
tonyh: If there is a chance to win resigning should not be "forced" with doubling. I agree that sometimes the games drag on pointlessly when other side has no chance whatsoever. But determining when a game is decided is not that easy on many games. If doubling was there many endgame turnarounds wouldn't happen. For example in a game of reversi 10x10 my situation looked really hopeless after move 36 (and even before that). I was thinking about resigning and surely my opponent would have doubled at that point if the option would have been there. Then resigning would have been the only sensible option for me to do. However i continued to play and managed to clinch victory with a few points margin! It was a great match and it would never have happened if doubling was there. Many such games where other side has definite advantage would end prematurely if we could double. Here's link to the game.

But gammons are a different thing. The doubling cube belongs there and should be implemented as soon as possible.

Sujet: Re: Doubling
tonyh Since this is a game server that encourages community along with the games, there is no harm in opponents playing out their games or even having friendly chats in the face of definite defeat.

Since BK offers no doubling cube for backgammon, it's really hard to take the game too seriously here. Backgammon with a doubling cube and backgammon without a doubling cube are two entirely different games. Add betting and money to the mix, and you've changed the games even more.

If I find myself in a hopeless position in a game, I usually congratulate my opponent and tell him/her that I'm going to resign on my next move. This avoids a lot of misunderstandings and keeps the tone friendly. If I have mathematically won a game, I never ask an opponent to resign. To me it's really rude to ask that of someone. They may want to have some fun by learning from you.

Being a member of a gamesite such as BK is more than BKN ratings and amassing numbers in one's win column; it's social games and community.

If you're obsessed with wins and ratings, a BG site such as FIBS is probably better suited for you than BK.

Enjoy your games everyone.

Sujet: Re: Doubling
If you were going to implement the doubling cube, you would also need to award two wins for a gammon and 3 for a backgammon. Personally I think if you're going to implement that, let's just have 5 point matches.

I started the thread by suggesting that once the game is mathematically over then the game server should award the game instead of forcing the game to continue pointlessly. Of course resignations would help (I always resign if the game is mathematically beyond reach, why prolong the agony).

resignation isn't the only reason to double... i see no reason for a doubling cube unless you're going to have multiple point matches... that is all part of the game of backgammon... you have so many variations of other games.. its too bad we don't have the element to play this one properly...

Sujet: Re: Doubling
No doubling for other than gammon games please. Doubling when in a clear lead position will "force" the opponent to resign even if he has a little chance to win the game. Who would risk losing "two" games if there was only a small chance to win.

Sujet: Doubling
I posted a message on the Gammon Discussion Board, asking for doubling to hasten resignations!!

It occurs to me that a double feature could work for any number of games, where guys in totally lost positions just go on and on. Halma and Reversi are good examples.

by all means let them play on - but the possibility that they could lose 'two' games (with the consequent effect on their ratings) could make a resignation decision very easy!

Sujet: Multiplayer games?
Would it be possible to add 4-player chaturanga to the offerings on Brain King? I enjoy this game very much and think that others would, too. I personally prefer the no-dice variant and alliances between red and yellow, and black and green, as described in Gollon's modern version of the variant.

Dare I say that Yonin Shogi (4-player shogi) is even better?

Sujet: Re: :0 ... pardon ?
Well we can have 2 fellowship boards (per fellowship) under favourites, right? The discussion one, where anyone can post, and the news one on the main page, where only the big boss can post messages.

What I was saying is that if 'new messages' are to be shown beside the fellowship name (under our 'fellowship list' then which one would show up?
Would it show the new messages by the big boss, or on the discussion board?
I would guess the messages by the big boss, since they are often the most important.
So, I would still have the discussion board under favourites.
Did that make more sense?!
