why not create a new game with portuguese/spanish rules? If you see, the portuguese Ferjo is the best player in almost any checkers variations and the portuguese fans.
There are only a few differences ... so, why not?

I've been playing Czech Checkers since I was a kid and the Queen had always precedence as to jumping the opponents pieces. If you have a possibility to jump with your Queen, you have to do so. Period. That's the rule. And that's how it's been played here for decades, at least. If you have problems with this rule, there's one simple solution for you: don't play this variant. Plus it is very sick to demand a draw and put your opponent on your enemies list just because he follows the rules. In case you want to play any game on this site, I recommend to read the rules first.

What are the portugese/spanish rules exactly?

Fencer, you can find them on the site I posted earlier as well... I think the main difference is that you must make allways the maximum captures as possible (you can't choose between capturing one or two pieces - must go for the two) and you can choose between a pawn and a queen to make the capture (provided they both have the possibility to capture the same maximum number of opponent's pieces).
Oh, and the board is turned (main diagonal from upper left to lower right).

BB: I am not much happy about this idea but everything can be considered, of course.

When I said its unfair,
I was on about Bad Bishops comment about Portuguese. I could see he is someone who has something against them from his first comment.

I think now that youve read all the posts since then...you will see that my hunch was right.
I would not say he is racist towards them, but I would say he is being prejudist.

There is no need to go against them as a whole like on this board, so would like to see most of it removed. So as not to hurt any of my Portuguese friends on here. (even though there are a couple of bad cookies in the bunch...but thats no diferent from all nationalities)

Could it now go back to Czech checkers board rather than a membership payments discussion and who can or cant afford it.


I bet ive shocked you now by being serious for a change ;oÞ

The moderator will approve the posts, so legitamate pawns can still post via the moderator.
And the likes of Paulogomes/Eiaur (yes they are one person) will still be able to post as long as its czech checkers related

For finish this discussion, there is any possibility to be created a new variant of Checkers? With Portuguese/Spanish rules?

Maybe in the future.

Even though it's not really anyone busness except for Pedro's on who he has on his enemies list, but it look like Paulo has changed his nick sometime in the past - which sometime in the past Pedro had this person on their enemy list.... which means he was on there for a reason - nothing probable has changed.

I have removed all off topic posts. PauloGomes and eiaur have been banned from posting until further notice. Pawns posts will be approved for the time being. Now take it back to czech checkers discussions or take it elsewhere.

Czech draughts is more 200 years old checkers variant. Rules is identicaly as english checkers with this diferent: King (in czech draughts Queen) has long movie, The move capturing the most pieces is not mandatory but in jumb has Queen priority before pieses and Captured pieces remain on the board until the move is completed and cannot jumb 2x cross one piece

Pawns are now able to posts again. Sorry a few ruin it for the masses.

And about Angola Checkers?
We play with rocks and always that we have a queen, we jump and we moan equal to one rinoceronte!! this a good variant too. What you think Fencer?

Hi, A win the lasts 2 games with 20 points and 19 points...I haved 1960...and now I only have 1979? why...its a bug ?

looks to me like the 20 point win took you to 1960, then the 19 point win took you to 1979 :o)

Hei! Yesterday I haved 1960! Don´t be naif with me! Fencer look to your Database and see what happened ! tks!

excuse me, you asked a question, I was only answering. If you give a complete explanation then there willbe no confusion.
By the way....what does naif mean?

Have you looked at the Messages in your message box, at the mathematics of the BKR changes of those games?

mclaudio - What do you think the problem is? I'm looking at Graph for the past few days, and it looks normal to me.

Are you complaining that you this it is too low?

Yes... I looked and the score was: yesterday: 1960... today a resign game +19 points, a winner gain: + 20 points.... and my actual score = 1979!
well I´m a university teacher and I still count. For me 1960 + 20 + 19 = 1999 and not 1979...

Hmmm... send Fencer a message. I'm sure he will look at it for you, and either fix it, or explain why it is correct.

but you have only won 1 game today, the other was 31 october

Ups...ok! I only see that resign game today...:-)
ok! its explained...now I can go to the bed tranquil because the brainking don´t steel points to portuguese checkers ... lol ...

Another point...see the game Id=426320. The last move from klokan was in 5 October...why the guy don´t lose? its because he is a paid membership ?

Basically, Yes. He has selected "auto-vacation".. so that games will not time out, for as many vacation days as he has left..

Its bothering me also, that player has auto vacationed for a week now on games with me LOL

And there are a limit time or not in "auto-vacation"... If he don´t play anymore I can´t participated in no more tournaments. It´s not fair! In my opinion...

as a rook, he has 30 vacation days per year. I don't know how many he has left at this point. Hopefully not many! lol.. i have a game or 2 with him too..

Yes, it is especially bad for pawns stuck in tournaments in these situations. A membership is rather in-expensive, though! :-D

How can the pawns influence rating, for resigning the games,from a determined rating the winner does not obtain any rating points.
Bad Bishop: Is very naif who thinks thus.

PauloGomes - This is Czech Checkers board, please take the issue up in private message instead of keep bringing it back up on here.

I think it was because of the language you used Paulogomes.
Now you are back, please keep it as czech checkers topic :o)

ok, czech checkers!
two queens vs one queen is a draw?
Brave Eagles don't think so. see the game.

Stevie: please expose the language that you are talking about. if you want in can do it in a private message.

BIG BAD WOLF: do you now me from anywhere?

And about the question?
Two queens vs one queen?
is a draw?

depends on the queen positions, but most likely is a draw

Its not a draw yet :o)

we are now on pawns posts must be approved

Sure messes up the DB's.

I know, but your name was mentioned

Me not crying

I think two queens vs one queen is a draw in 15 moves. what you think?

at the moment, you could make an error and lose the game, I dont know what wil happen in the next few moves

ok, but in 15 moves or 30 ...

I think you would have to wait and see if you lose before they get second queen. If they get second queen before beating you. Then i would say its a draw. so should be within the next 15 moves yes

come on guys, ive hidden 2 of you for now until Nightstorm arrives to make a decision.
Czech checkers please. Ive left Pauogomes visible because most posts are on topic

Stevie: Can't you see that Paulo Gomes and El Putanthon are the same person?
Paulo: I'm gonna try to convince Fencer of the necessity to get you out of this site now.

Yes I can, and is also Stevie2 so you are not the only one they are pplaying games with.
But this is the Czech checkers board, I am only co moderator. Nightstorm will decide his fate when he is on later

But Paulo is "on topic" as long as he is attacking Purple. When he also attacks stevie and Fencer..well that's beyond the pale.

Purple, do you want him hidden? if so I will.
