JMD & NIRVANA: I don't think so. The No.1 is Curunar. You should get rid of provisional rating first to be a valid top player.

Pedro Martínez: I can see why he doesnt want to finish more games LOL

Andersp: And http://brainking.com/cz/ShowGame?g=1504445
and several other games. True No. 1, indeed.

Pedro Martínez: LOL...well can we agree who is No. 1 in bragging at least ?

Andersp: I doubt there's any doubt about that...he's even posted the same thing on the Czech BG board...

Pedro Martínez:

JMD & NIRVANA: But the account you used before your current one, you were only in the top 15 or so at your best. http://brainking.com/en/BKRGraph?u=9213&tp=26

Sure, keep changing user accounts and get a few lucky wins can easly put you on top - which is why there is established ratings to beter rate people. Most sites use 400 games to get an established backgammon rating, here it is only 25 - which you have not made it to yet with your new account.

BIG BAD WOLF: Give the fellow his due, he is putting his rating on the line with 79 active games of Backgammon Race. When he does achieve established BKR status he will have earned whatever ranking he has, and won't be hiding from challenges.

JMD & NIRVANA: I did not mean to make it sound like it was wrong to switch accounts, just wanted to point out that with your old account, when you were an active player (before the fall out at the end), at the best rating, you were only a top 15 player or so.

I see it all the time - someone wins a few games, sometimes as little as 4 and has the highest rating. Good luck in trying to stay up there.

JMD & NIRVANA: What I'm wondering is why you think we care how good you think you are? You clearly have some issues to deal with that have nothing to do with backgammon.

Let's get back to talking about something interesting.

grenv: i second that :)

JMD & NIRVANA: I looked and alanback is ranked #1

Backgammonfan29: You do let them time out, the ones your losing u let them time out and then u let your auto vacation days take over. You are doing that at the moment with a few tournament games.

WatfordFC: he is allowed to do that under the rules right? I have a match going which I set to no vacation days and only 2 hour topup each move and he is still doing fine in that game. He has to make a move every 2 hours from when I move basically. I suggest setting up such games in the future if you want quicker moves otherwise there is nothing to complain about

SafariGal: I dont think u get what i am saying, this is a tournament game, he knows he is losing so doesnt play the game out he does it with other gams with other people as well. He only had 6 vacation days left, and now he has 17 days, how is that then?

WatfordFC: i have never done it but my guess is he cancelled other booked vacation. As a paying member he is entitled to use these days and he is playing within the rules. You do not have to play in tournaments of such length if you wish to complain. Create your own and play in tournaments where you are unable to use vacation days. That will solve to problem.

I hope I have made this clear enough this time. You're welcome

SafariGal: He didnt have any other vacation booked.

WatfordFC: if he now has more vacation than his paid entitlement, then I agree that is a problem.

Seems Fencer is looking into it so try not to let it bother you though. worse case is it takes an extra couple of weeks to time out

SafariGal: I am a very quick player and i didnt ask to be drawn against him, there are others who feel the same way too.

WatfordFC: refer to previous message. Play quicker tourneys

JMD & NIRVANA: Yes, a "new person" indeed.
