Fencer: Is there a limit to how many little bosses a person can be ? i.e. 2 Big Bosses for a rook

Whats the difference between big boss and little boss, i just saw it in one fellowship. The little boss has slightly fewer things s/he allowed to do?

Emne: Re:

Fencer: so I must pick a payment and hit continue then? And do it this time when the red light comes back on again?

Emne: Re:

Puckish: I don't see any orders placed by you. Putting it to a shopping cart is not enough, the order must be placed.

30. november 2007, 21:35:09

Emne: Re:

Fencer: Okay, thanks, it just doesnt show anything when I look at my shopping cart, I guess I just have to trust that it will be calculated correctly when i make my payment.

30. november 2007, 21:27:26

Emne: Re:

Puckish: Yes, if 1) you place the order when the red code is active, 2) we receive your payment this year.

30. november 2007, 21:20:56

Furthermore, we have added a nice improvement - you don't have to send a payment in 72 hours to validate the bonus (like before), it must be received to the end of this year - 31st December 2007, 23:59:59 GMT+01:00.

So if I read this correctly, as long as i signed up for my new membership when the light was red, then when I pay I will get the second year free?

I've tried Goldtoken, Itsyourturn, YourturmMyturn and something else, and frankly, all those sites look
kind of mcdonaldish ... we may disagree with Fencer in this or that, we may miss something here or there, but I feel like being at home at brainking ...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for all of you.

Emne: Re: Predicting opponent moves

alanback: Yes, I'm aware this is in use elsewhere, but their game repertuaire is.... limited :D. Very. I'd probably be playing at DGS (didn't have this feature when I last played there), but I wanna play other games then Go also. Brainking just has best features and game repertuaire, and this I think would be a great addition.

Emne: Re: Predicting opponent moves

seku: Try Dailygammon. "Computer guessing" has been working there for years. You can make up to 10 moves in a row based upon computer predictions of what your opponent will do. If the computer guesses wrong, the game is rolled back to that move and guessing resumes from that point. Your opponent cannot see your move unless he makes the predicted move himself.

Emne: Predicting opponent moves

I wanna suggest a feature, where players could predict their opponent moves, and pre-set a response for moves... or even sequences. This would make the games more interesting, as it would lessen the need to make "obvious" moves or forced responses... The games when you log in, are in state where you can really make decisions as how to proceed.

Emne: Re: Resigned games

Andersp: the amount of snoopy's games is a left over from going for the top spot in 'moves per day'

its an insane race ... and this is the left over .. the number of finished games is just a side effect .. its an awkward list at all as someone who is here longer will have more games finished (on average)

i might feel sorry for the opponents though as they might want to play a nice game and now have a win by timeout

66% is a great target .. mine as well .. was there .. not anymore though i think

my 2 important lists from the statistics are win/loss ratio (66.6666% is the goal :)) and average bkr (2000 was the goal, now it is 1900 for more games :))

Emne: Re: Resigned games

coan.net: I agree with you completely here... I am much more impressed by those who have a high winning percentage before someone who has 1,000 wins, but 3,000 loses... or even if they are even... :-)

BTW, BBW; 66% s good target, there are not very many that are able to maintain that, so good luck!

26. november 2007, 17:36:05

Emne: Re: Resigned games

coan.net: Well...as you know, people are different. There are people who likes to be in top of finished games, i know :)

You remember probably how happy the player who hit one million moves first was?

26. november 2007, 17:32:42

coan.net

Emne: Re: Resigned games

Andersp: Well with that, that will give them more loses then wins. I know myself, I'm always more impressed by people who have more wins then loses. I myself am shooting for a 66.6% win rate (win 2 out of every 3 games) - I'm currently at around 63% right now.

That is Statistics are just that - stats. Nothing to put too much stock into in my opinion.

Emne: Re: Resigned games

Andersp: If you are talking about Snoopy, they are leaving the site for awhile and just letting their games time out. Even though that will add some finished games to their stats, he is not starting any new so people should be able to "pass" them soon enough

Emne: Re: Resigned games

Andersp: If a resigned game didn't count... then I would simply resign any that I am bound to lose... :-)

It should count, and I doubt it will ever change.

Should a resigned game really counts as a finished game?

MadMonkey: last week the timeouts were turned on again and the timesof the game have been reset .. so it was like each opponnent made a move in each game at the same time .. if they werent online since then and the timeout per move were the same for those games then the timeout messages would arrive at the same time as well

Hi Fencer

, how was your Sunday dinner? (or is it supper?)

25. november 2007, 18:53:28

Is auto save meant to work when replying using the "box" option?

I dont know how many times I have been in the middle of a long reply and the dog or whatever accidentally hits my mouse and changes pages on me and I can never figure out how to get that post back

, its maddening

Emne: Re:

danheg: That wasn't a silly question, I think that Atomic and Extinction Chess are usually implemented in a way that you can't castle under or through check.

Nevertheless, the rules are much simpler to state when saying "no check or checkmate", hence probably the version that we are playing here (which does hurt my eye a little, but that is no big deal IMHO).

I am currently playing an atomic chess game with cd power and put him in check with my knight. He then CASTLES. I thought castling while in check is illegal according to the rules of chess. Is this a bug in the atomic chess program?

I've tried to find it using the search function on this board, but was unsuccessful...
I somehow messed up the way the games appear on my game list. I want the first games on the list to be the ones with the least time left. I think I may have clicked on the "games" title, with the little green arrow next to it, by accident. When I clicked it on again, it didn't correct the problem. I went to "settings" and changed the choice from ascending to descending and back again, and again clicking on the "games" title on the game list. Nothing seems to work the way I hoped... can someone help me please? Thanks!
