beatit2: I don't have an opinion on it, honestly. I certainly didn't create the formula.

beatit2: With so few games played, it is of course not an accurate number.

From the Ratings page :

(*)The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.

MengTzu: Fencer may not read this board that often. I would suggest you send him a personal message.

Justaminute: It is gone and it won't happen again.

computeropponen: They are NOT abusing anything. Period. Further posts by you on this subject, will be deleted.

computeropponen: If you continue going around and around about this, NO, you will not be continuing to post

computeropponen: You need to worry about your own habits, and not the habits of others. Frankly, the habits of others is none of your business.
It's been said over and over again. People choose the time constraints that they themselves want. There is no reason for them to take anyone else into consideration. The game is for them personally.

computeropponen: Then DON'T watch it. They CHOSE the time limit that THEY wanted for THEIR game. It should not matter to YOU at all what time limit they chose. You play the way you want, and let others play the way they want.

computeropponen: It is simply a tip if you and your opponent are online and want to play part or all of your game as quickly as possible. That's all.

computeropponen: Keep to the subject of Chinese Chess on this board. Thank you!

computeropponen: Regardless, laymen or beginners, are NOT to be insulted here. Thank you.

computeropponen: Then you should have your conversation in private message perhaps, if you only intend to talk to him, rather than insult anyone else.

computeropponen: This is off topic for the board. The former moderator had to be removed as they were no longer a paying member, so someone had to take over, and being Brainking staff, it was me who did in this case. A paying Brainking member is certainly welcome to volunteer for the responsibility.

I'm not sure though why the moderator of the board affects you at all?

But please. Stay on topic. If you have moderating issues, the proper step is to take it to the moderator of the board in a personal message. Keep this board to the discussion of Chinese Chess. Thank you.

435152: Of course you can. If you look at the game notation, there are arrows << <> >> . You can go to the very first move and use the > to go forward move by move.

435152: While analyzing other peoples' games may not technically be wrong, the way you were doing it did not appear very polite. You should probably reconsider doing that.

And there is really no need to be sharing your views on fellow Brainking users appearances on this board. I have edited out those comments.

435152: Yes.. the site went down for a while yesterday. See Fencer's blog entry at www.brainking.info for details. :-)

And yes, the discussion boards acted a little funny right before the site went down..

Due to the change in membership status of the previous moderator of this board, it needs a new moderator.

Anyone interested, please send me (or any Brainking Staff member), a message indicating your interest. We will choose from the messages received. Some knowledge of the game is of course preferred! :-)
