Onderwerp: Next Interviewee
Since Czuch's reply has taken a long time, I thought maybe it'd be better if we'd choose the next person to be interviewed.  I already have got a few, 5 I think, interview requests.  If you people out there would like to be interviewed, or have a person in mind whom you'd want to see interviewed, do not hesitate to send me a personal message here.  I'll announce the ID of the next 'lucky winner' on December 20th

King Reza: resetting a rating also makes it much easier to boost someone elses rating.

play a few games, gain a high rating (if you fail, reset and try again), lose to a friend, boosting his rating, repeat this :)

Onderwerp: Re: ratings
emmett:I totally agree.  Besides, since the very first time you play a game your rating is determined as the rating of your opponent plus 400, it's very easy to misuse the resetting feature.  Look at this graph for example.  As you can see, my skill for backgammon is around 2150-2200 but my rating went up to 2528 in the beginning.  Now, if I can reset my rating, I have the opportunity of getting to 2500 again in no time while it'll take me quite a long time to get to that from where I am now.

Grandmaestro: I disagree (respectfully)...
A lot of my ratings have got pretty low at times, but I like to fight back. The way ratings work is that, as your skill improves, you can always climb up as high as your skill takes you. I enjoy that fight. It would be misleading if you just "reset" every time you lost a few games. Right now, my goal is to get all of my established ratings back over 1500. I think that the reset idea isn't valid.

14. december 2006, 06:03:24

Well, I think it should be an option to reset all ratings and records for you account...

Other game sites have this option.

BrainKing is going to launch this new game variant (I post this in permission to Fencer). (If you don't believe, ask Fencer:)).

Cloning Gammon: (Players think twice before capturing a piece)

Standard Backgammon (Cube can be used).
There are no Gammons or Backgammons.
Each time you hit an opponent's checker, you MAY add one extra checker of your color to your bar, marked with an X.(the destination place for your captured checkers). If no cube is used, you MUST add one piece to the bar. These extra pieces count as Race pieces, so you can bring them in anytime you want.
You can move freely with the extra checkers.(they will keep their markers as long as any of your normal (non-marked) pieces is still not in your home area, see next section)

The maximum number of extra checkers is 5.

Scoring:
You must have only your 15 normal (non marked) pieces in your home area your bear them out. You are still allowed to move marked (cloned) pieces, but, if you do, the piece will lose its marker and you must also put this piece in your home area. If no cube is used, you must put all pieces in your home area first.

If there is no cube, the winner is that player who bears all his or her pieces off, of course.

When the cube is used, each piece after the 15th you bear off, will score you a point (duplicated with the number on the doubling cube). If any player bears his last piece off out his or her home area (regardless of other (marked) pieces on the board), the game ends and that player also gets one point not multiplied by the cube.

Maybe there are still bugs in it. If you have suggestions, message me or Fencer.

Onderwerp: Re:ratings...
Pedro Martínez: I don't think that we should be able to reset ratings... However, Hasami Shogi is a game I regret even being rated for, as it is utterly biased towards the person who moves first. I would like to wipe off all records of a rated game type, with the caveat that I can never play it again on this site. Hasami shogi would be the one I would wipe off as it is unfair. I am only responding, but I know that I should put this on the feature requests board, and I will...

tonyh: Count again. count only the ones written in plain font, exclude the ones in italic. They're 38.
Jason has a point: there are games that are either unrated or didn't have the sufficient number of moves to count towards your rating... So having played over 25 games doesn't entitle you automatically to an established rating.

Onderwerp: Re: Statistics; Top 50 Players by average game type
tonyh: You have 38 games with an established ranking. Summing all your established BKR's and dividing the sum by 38 gives about the number that shows in that chart as your BKR average. It may be off by a few points because I believe the value is not calculated in runtime, but only from time to time.

To see your name you must select the 1/3 of games option, because you still haven't reached the 46 game types needed to be shown on the default page...

Franz Kafka: Man, when in doubt, try some chess variations... These seperate the poseurs from the real players. I often check another player's ratings in other games before I play them... You should stick around. This is a great site. (Even if a few people did cheat, it's not about the winning so much as the process of playing that is enjoyable.)

Always save, save, save.  That's a standard rule when using a computer.  Save once, twice, often.  When in doublt, save your work.  When not in doubt, save your work.  ;)

If you're talking about the notepad here on BK, I'll bet the answer is, Sorry Czuch.  It's lost for life.  :/
