It is not part of the game to win on time with a lone king,
It is irrational to award a timeloss if that if playing the worst possible moves would still win or draw. You can claim a draw in a quickplay finish, if the player isn't trying to win by normal means.
3 fold repetition can/has to be claimed of this site?
Me personally I don't think there is much benefit to 50 move/3 fold repetition claims not being handled automatically on the server. If you reach a position where you have a valid claim that can be made against you the odds of you winning are very tiny anyway. If there is a claim draw button, I haven't noticed it.
thisbeme: You have PM to fencer. Its same as in OTB game when you call referee and in correspondence chess when you write to tournament director.
Of course, there is benefit. If you are trying to win you have more time to do it if defender wont claim the rule. In OTB game I claimed 3fold repetition in very bad position, so my opponents' chances to win were very good - but you are right, my chances to win were tiny:)
How do I move in this game where there is no "submit" button, and no "roll dice " button. The only way I can see to get out is to offer a draw or resign. HELP! Game ID: 5086246
i clicked photo album by mistake and it says that it is my album. there's lots of pix but i don't know any of these ppl., i have seen some of the names on the site. any explanations?
ellieoop: If you clicked from the side menu (left), yes indeed you see most recent albums of other people, and most recent comments. To see your OWN album, you need to do it through your own profile.
ellieoop: I was inaccurate, though. At the very top of the page that you go to from "Photo Albums" (from the link on the left), would be your own albums, if you had any. THEN under that are the latest albums from other users.
jouer: There is a Host Tracker link at the top of this page, which is recommended to use if someone has connection issues with BrainKing. It works for any other sites too and now it shows "Connection refused" error from all worldwide nodes. It means that pente.org is down and everyone has the same issue.
anybody else having probs connecting to BK....anything up to 2 mins for pages to load...on the home page the dragon flies across before anything else even loads...so annoying, cant log in...takes ages...all other games sites are fine
Bernice: Yes I have lost many games because I have a limited time to make moves so if Brainking doesn't load or takes forever to load when I am able to make moves then I lose (uaually the games I least want to lose).
Bernice: i also have some problems connection to brainking.nl .. sometimes it brings me to google where i can click on the link and the connect without problems (this indicates a DSN problem on my site) ... but today often that doesnt work but brainking.com always seems to work for me
After playing on a game neither the option of going to main page or picking a game from the drop down list works? No matter which I choose the first game on my game list is what I get?
Fencer: You know the old saying ? If it ain't broken don't fix it. Why do you keep making changes? I can't see if my friends have made their moves anymore. None of the commands work either. Are these temporary faults?
crosseyed: If it is boring, than no other response would be useful to you. The purpose of blog posts is to summarize all important information at one place, so smart people could easily find everything there, while lazy people just keep asking one by one. If you call it "too much crap", you can hardly expect any further help from me.
Pedro Martínez: I am used to be accused of even worse things here. It's a pity that some people are too selfish to see things from a global point of view.
I read the blog first thing when I logged in. I expected to see some problems...but as of yet, I have not encountered any in my regular game playing. I think Fencer is doing a wonderful job on keeping this site in good shape and I thank him for all his hard work in doing so. I am sorry that some people are having problems but please be patient and don't be too quick to criticize.
