Emne: Re: Colours

Fencer: If you start with standard chess colors, then white moves first. But in most checkers literature, the first side is called Black or (officially) Red.

Please, before I make a mistake, which player starts in checkers? White or black?

Emne: Tiger Checker Club

We are assembling the very best players on BK to form the top checker team. While we like anyone to join the fellowship, chat about checkers and learn the game the team itself is to consist of highly skilled players. Apply if interested. Thank you.

Emne: Re:

gooner: The checkers BBS is down right now. George Miller is making a new one I believe. You can check www.usacheckers.com for another checkers forum.

gooner: I am sorry, but I don't understand Your Idea. :-(

13. mars 2006, 21:55:57

Emne: Re:

sobek: Any idea what has happened to checker solutions? your comments on there were always worth reading. If your the same person I am thinking of.

13. mars 2006, 21:10:02

socrates: please, it is new rating, from tournaments only from 2000. Rating is statistic method, more games, better ratings. example ACF has rating 20 Years and it is not absolutly correct for all players. (same different will be everytime). We need more games, more tournaments. Will be more accuratelly, more and more :-))

13. mars 2006, 19:45:46

Emne: Re:

sobek: There are some players rated 2200-2300 that are not as strong as some 1700 rated players. That's a big difference.

13. mars 2006, 07:44:21

Socrates: Why? We calculate no all tournaments as national federation. You must understand, We calculate from tournaments, if we receive. Send me example cross table from Barbados championship from 2000.

13. mars 2006, 02:24:15

Emne: Re:

sobek: Those ratings are very innaccurate.

13. mars 2006, 02:23:51

Emne: Re:

Droppo Wong: Yes I have about 4-5 checker programs on my hard drive. So what?

12. mars 2006, 18:29:43

gooner and all:
will be more db for different style (10x10, spainish, russian-shashki, brasil, italian etx) :-)))) please wait, max. 1-2 mounth :-)

12. mars 2006, 15:01:46

Emne: Re:

sobek: It's an interesting site.

12. mars 2006, 14:55:18

Gooner:
in this page http://www.checkers.wz.cz/checkers_rating.html is free games database too. :-)
Socrates: I like real tournaments, no online, becouse in online (in Brainking is nord :-( )played more player with program.

12. mars 2006, 14:44:38

Droppo Wong

Emne: Re:

Socrates: You say the proof is you checked with a program. That only proves you have a program. Not Ustica.

12. mars 2006, 12:21:53

Emne: Re:

Socrates: Its not a good thing no if "Proved" but it can't, so we may aswell get on with it.

Emne: Re:

Socrates: well.. I don't condone anyone cheating.. all I would be able to do is avoid playing with them.. it isn't like I can go around the table and just boink them on their head! LOL

12. mars 2006, 07:32:06

Sigh. You make it sound that his program using is a good thing. He will continue to do this while he gets "support" from you all.

11. mars 2006, 22:06:22

Emne: Re:

Nomad: I don't have a problem either and will accept invites from anyone. For it is and always will be fun for me, besides whether your playing a good human player or a computer you can only learn more and aspire to a greater level.

11. mars 2006, 20:13:28

Emne: Re:

Nomad: I think real checker players are a brotherhood that rises above individual dislikes.

Emne: Re:

Purple: Program or not I will play them makes no differeance to me, It's just a game. Most have always been nice to me either way

11. mars 2006, 17:16:44

Emne: Re:

gooner: Well said. And Old 14 has been part of published play for so long that many people move it like book but have no connection to computer programs. I don't like the openning myself.

11. mars 2006, 16:43:20

Its a subject that rears its ugly head all to often but can never be 100% prooved. So any doubts, people should not play opponents who they think are cheating.

11. mars 2006, 14:35:18

Emne: Re:

Socrates: It aounds like poor sportsmanship to make an accusation like that without proof. I was just congratulating the top BKR checker player.

Nomad

Emne: Re: Number One

Purple: I would have to agree with that one

10. mars 2006, 19:41:20

The proper ratings are available for viewing all though not quite finished yet of proper players who play year in and year out in tournaments face to face.

Emne: Re: Number One

Andre Faria: Besdies having played him for years there is a
"Best Player" list by BKR and Fencer has Ustica as number one.

9. mars 2006, 07:29:33

Emne: Re: Number One

Purple: Yes he is probably the best with the aid of a program.

8. mars 2006, 01:17:11

Emne: Number One

Quite some time ago I gave my opinion as to who was the very best checker player on Brainking..based on years of experience. It was then and is now none other than Ustica. Congrats on the BKR.
