For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or go straight to the Chess Invitation) - information about upcoming tournaments - discussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Has anyone done what was talked about a couple of posts ago? You have two games that are going to end, and you wait to submit your win until you lose the other one...? I am almost certain that your BKR will be higher that way, and it will work with every type of game!
Regarding the "lightning fast play when he wins", well, if you think about it, it is better for the person losing if the soon-to-be-winner plays the game faster. (This also goes into effect when a player that is losing resigns a game.) Do the math for a lose and then a win, and a win and then a lose. With the way BK does its ratings you will end up higher if you count the lose first and the win second in comparison to the win and then a lose. Interesting! He is actually doing you a favor in playing those games he is going to win faster. :-) This is a good thing for anyone that may be concerned about their ratings. I am! ...well not really... afterall, I think we are forgetting the point of sites like this, to have fun playing games!
Pedro Martínez: [In response to the deleted part of Pedro's last post - WQ] You should never make assumptions. What if he has a lot of games? What if he always has another game that fills in with time remaining before he can get to that game? What if he can only play 15 minutes a day? There are a lot of things it could be! you shouldn't jump to conclusions unless you know for a fact. [Text deleted - WQ]
I don't understand why you have a really really long one instead of not used. Like 1 year. If someone can't play in 1 year, I don't know what to say. Unless they are in the military... and get sent overseas... :-(
