thanks, that means we can play from here to eternity?

It explains in the game rules of chess (link on the left). If i remember correctly, neither of those rules, as well as not having enough pieces to checkmate, is not supported at this time.

Hi Fencer, does the program know all the chess rules for claiming a draw? for example repetion of moves or the 50 moves rule

Was just asking a site-related question :)

that whip hurts there rose...can ya take it easy on me...please? haha

mush???? ROFL..:)

hey you.. quit talking and get back to your games! mush!! Can I help you add to that 300 pile? lol

If I am not mistaken he also plays at GT and maybe even IYT!

Hey he's a great guy!! I've had a few games with him, have you seen his profile? Wow, Eddie, how do you keep up with all that??! Do you ever leave your PC?!! You're one serious gamer!

I think he wants to announce 1000 finished games soon ;-)

lol..Eddie must have played us all at least twice..:)

He's going for the site record of most games isnt he? lol

all by the same person?? let me guess...Eddie?? :))

Nikki: As Kevin says :-)

Tony: Because the formula did not calculated a higher BKR for you. Especially for a draw.

I think they just count towards your limit of games. Since rooks don't have a limit, they can put out as many waiting invites as they want :-)

Fencer, is there a limit on how many invites a person can put out at one time? I just looked at the waiting games, and 39 of the 54 games are all by the same person.

I've just played a two game Five in a Line match with Skalpone, ending in a Draw. He is rated 1576; I am 1827. But my rating didn't alter; why not?

Done.

Yes, there is a little bug. It will be fixed tomorrow.

I changed from all BKR on my main page to just 3, and a "more" link appeared under the 3. When i clicked on the link, they all appeared on the ratings side, but only chess appeared on the positions side.

Let's play a game and I will show you how to do it.

Hello Fencer,
Old Timer and me offered each other a draw in this game but both of us couldn't find a way to accept the draw. Are we doing something wrong?
Uil

aaaaaaahh "SABOTAGE" holliday gift..?? ~=)¦:-)))
......(hint hint.. hehehe)

Jan 1 is already included.
Okay, I can add Dec 31 too :-)

Maybe new year's eve and new year's day? I'm not sure if everyone celebrates those on Dec 31 / Jan 1, but i know North America does! :-)

Holidays are added. Have a look at Settings / Calendar and let me know what other holidays I should add.

roserodew: Yes but only for the first tournament. I will apply some limitations for the next tournaments. See "Tournaments" discussion board.

I have a question Fencer. If a person with a 20 game limit signs up for tournies now and is at their 20 max by the time the tourney starts can they still play in the tournies? I guess for members too.. if I was at 50 games and the tourney starts do i still get to play in it even tho i dont have any room left for games?

Thanks MadMonkey :-) I want to finish teams, backgammon and then I can start to work on battleboats etc.

Just want to say - what a great site Fencer, only joined 2 weeks ago and met some great ppl already. Have spread the word to as many ppl as i can from other sites and most are playing here.
It will grow & grow i am sure, with Backgammon coming as well.
p.s. Any thoughts along Battleboats lines ???
Keep up the great work - madmonkey :-))))

tonyh: Yes, I'll add some global holidays ASAP.

Kevin: Hey, you are right! I'll look at it :-)

Are you giving all of us a general vacation over Xmas? Please?

If you look at the move list, you'll notice black moved b1 twice in a row, which shouldn't be, that's for sure! :-) I'm not sure if it was my opponent that somehow sent that move, or if the system somehow decided that black played that move.

(or i guess maybe the page i'm getting is wrong!)

i just want to tell you Fencer, that this site is really terrific, i have been getting thank you msgs from people that i have told about it, they all like it. you're doing a great job. if this site keeps running so fast, and you get backgammon, i think you're going to have a huge increase in members, the things you've added just in the last week have been wonderful. i better stop now. LOL..
thx. ellie

thanks, problem is solved now

I'll look at it.

Fencer, in my game against Tonyh i placed a pawn on C5, clicked on the usual button to return to the main page and see that the move is not done and it is still my turn. I tried it 5 or 6 times.
What's up? Uil

Hmmm, maybe I'll do something with that.

I suppose not...maybe that's what xx wins matches are for :-) lol

it doesnt say best of? i take it as if ya play a freind that many for fun that it wouldnt matter..

Don't you think it should be over if there aren't enough games left for the other player to catch up?

play untill all are done..then you get either 1 win or 1 loss

If you are playing a 5 game match, and one player wins the first 3, is the match over, or are the remaining 2 games still played?

By the way, spot on Eddie,its a fantastic site!

Fencer, is the '?' about Eid?
If so its the Muslim Christmas, today for some, tomorrow for others. I only know because my kids go to a school thats mostly Muslims and they're all off today and tomorrow! Theres about 7 kids (including my twins) in their class today who aren't Muslims. So I thought I'd get into the spirit and say Happy Eid to all Muslims!

Thanks everyone for nice words :-)
Vikings: Timeout is a normal end of a game. Read FAQ issue about ratings.

is # 1000 !!!
congrats Fencer with a great site
