coan.net: congrats! Please make another flurry of polls… I need 7 more!

Nothingness: there are some achievements that have stopped working or stopped calculating altogether. I brought it up many years ago and have since accepted that the bugs won’t be fixed. Most achievements still work fine.

Can anyone tell me the difference between these two tournament achievements:

"10 won tournaments of 50 game types" = win 10 public tournaments in 50 games

"10 won tournaments of 100 game types" = win 10 public tournaments in 100 games

The difference seems obvious, in that the second one, you need to win 10 tourneys in an additional 50 game types. However, on my achievements page, I have 49/50 for the first one, and 7/100 for the second one. Shouldn't these be the same number (the second one should be 49/100)??

I have been stuck on 17/25 for the "25x Team Tournament Winner" achievement for a long time. 24 hours ago, we won this tournament, May 2011 Embassy Chess , but it still hasn't added to my total... it should now be 18/25. Any ideas?

Fencer: Please see reported bug# 1901, and my two posts in this thread below on 5/27, and one post on 5/15.

And, here's another one: my current tournament achievements show that I have 10/10 won tournaments for the "25 won tournaments of 10 game types" when shouldn't it say 10/25? However, I actually have more than 10, similar to Aaru.

And another one: Why would it say 7/10 for the "10 won tournaments of 50 game types?" If I have at least 10 game types in which I have won 25 or more tournaments (more than 10 game types, actually), how is it possible that I have only 7 game types in which I have only won 10 tournaments? and FYI, I am well beyond 7 game types for which I've won 10 public tourneys.

aaru: There are many bugs with the achievements, as I have mentioned in several posts back in May. I have given up and hope it will be fixed for BK Version 3.

Can anyone explain why the count for "10 won tournaments of 10 game types" is different than the count for "10 won tournaments of 50 game types?" As on my achievement page, one says 7, one says 9... shouldn't both say "9" ?? http://brainking.com/en/Profile?p=9&u=15438&gid=3

aaru: I've won the same way, too. It's not so much an achievement as it a gross error in set-up by your opponent.

Pedro Martínez: I'm not sure now... I have 11 won games of massacre chess, each lasting more than 10 moves, against unique opponents, and not in a fellowship. But I was not given credit for those, either. I give up... I'll just keep playing.

I still have a question on achievements. I have started many new types of games since the inception of the achievements, and have won more than 10 games against unique opponents (and more than 10 moves) in several game types since then, yet, my number of games in which I've won "10 games out of 50 game types" remains stuck on 39... why is this? Here is just one example:

10 of the 11 won games have 10 or more moves, but nothing has changed for my progress towards this achievement. Do these have to be public games? (not in a fellowship?) This has happened with several of my new game types already.

AbigailII: I think there is a bug in those achievements, too. For the achievement "10 won games of 50 game types and at least 10 moves," I have watched and counted several variants where I have sailed past 10 victories against unique opponents and more than 10 moves, but the counter never changed. The only explanation I can think of is this: The unique opponents that you have beaten in one variant can not be the same opponents you have beaten in another variant. For example, if I beat 10 different people in atomic chess, I must beat a totally different set of 10 people in corner chess in order for me to get credit for those 2 variants, meaning 20 unique people. If this is not the case, then there is definitely a bug.
