Stair rule 5) ..........For example, if you stay on step 6, you can challenge players from step 6,5,4 or 3.

what happen if player on step 6 lost a game to the one on step 3, then step 6 move down to step 5, and step 3 move up to step 4......how about the original players on step 5 and step 4....actually they have nothing to do with the game between step 6 vs step 3.....

will the original step 5 player move up to step 6? and the original step 4 player move down to step 3? I just don't know how to figure it out....

the stair or ladder rule of online game is always not perfect...the online game, especially the turnbased online game is just a less serious form of playing the game...
if you want to be a good player, you must to be serious in that business...

one more about the stair rule:
2) If u win a game you move up 1 step, if you lose a game you move down 1 step...and
5) you can only challenge another player on the same step or within 3 lower as you

it is unfair for the one at the top, the no.1 player must challenge the 3 players below, when he lost he has to move down 1 step, and when he won he cannot move up anywhere

the rule is set up that you can ONLY move above anyone without beating that player.

I think you have to beat the player to take his place...you have to beat the no.1 to be the true no.1

My first post here dated 9 March 2011 and the last post by Jaak before me dated 3 July 2009
It has been one year 5 months and 6 days in between, a loooong time no one has posted at this board
It seems that people just abandoned this discussion board or they have nothing to discusss about it.....

I have posted here 8 x in two days....It is too many....

I sugest that the challenge rule change :
you can only challenge up
you can challenge any one above you not only the one at the same stair.

now you can move up only one stair each time when you win one game, too slow to move up

rod03801:
yes.. there are good side of this site
as you said that this site is better than most turnbased site.

rod03801:
still you are talking the same tone
i did not insult any body playing here
there are many factor to be considered in a real game
see.. I used the word REAL OR LIVE for the over the board game.
the playing condition is not the same

what i am talking is the
'fact'
just look at the highest level, the world chinese chess champion is much better than a correspondence chinese chess champion

rod03801:
when someone pointed out the bad side of playing at turnbased site, you just say play here accept as it is or go to other site. you never consider how to improve the playing environment....good player will come here to play....

VA_M.O.N.E.Y.: you said that you waited 3 hours for your opponent to play...another guy said that your opponent not even at site when you play, because it is a turnbased site.....any sport, your opponents are always insight, after the game you may shake his hands too for friendship.

rod03801:
anyway I still treat it a live game to play..that is..I don't use book and computer, and I move like as if I play an "OTB " game.

rod03801: sometimes you have to test your strength after you lost many live games for blood

see if you still good enough to beat the turnbased player for fun

VA_M.O.N.E.Y.:
I have the same feeling about the turn-base game
that felling is " mad" "almost angry"
when mt opponent just login and logout but not resign the hopeless game.
a good live game player is much better than a turnbased game player. I
