I thnk this is a RECORD 733 Games? NIce Hannelore KM :)

One times i see in one person directory over 700 Games . :)

lol, how many games at once is the record ?

28. Noiembrie 2003, 04:02:27

Eriisa

I'm down to 83, guess its time to start adding tourneys. LOL

28. Noiembrie 2003, 01:43:01

Backoff

I agree. BTW pafl, I'm down to only 200 games. after the server crash, I had over 400 lol

27. Noiembrie 2003, 23:49:25

Pafl

Agree. And to make it absolutely perfect, there could be the date the note was inserted. I sometimes happen to think the old notes are up to date and they confuse me - and I am only a pawn with 20 games. What if I was an 80-game-rook, then ?
Not a key feature - just for the comfort :-).

I agree with Grant. The game notes are useless to me down below. I don't often scroll down that far, so wouldn't see a reminder I hoped to see.

27. Noiembrie 2003, 20:17:55

Eriisa

breathe grant, breathe! lol

I agree though. I tried to use the notes feature a couple of times. But I don't see what I wrote with the current layout. Its too far down the page.

27. Noiembrie 2003, 18:14:35

grant

are we going to get a better notes feature with the 2.0 version for in game tactics, i currently don't use the feature as when i did i forgot which games i had planned out to that extent but if the notes were above the board above/below the oppositions converstaion place it would, i think, add to the effectiveness and would be a positive revision.

i know this was mentioned some time back but no decision seemed to arise.

Heck, you are right. There seems to be a Czech locale [after the re-installation]. I'll fix it ASAP :-)

Mine is like that also - it happen after the "big crash" and the restore.

I never said anything since it is a field that is not seen by anyone else. :-)

Subiectul: date of birth in english

Hi,
On "My Profile", I see
Date of Birth (*): 22. b?ezen 1971

Kind regards :-)

Great idea Uwe. I also prepare more tournament-related functions.

Subiectul: Download of games

A pgn-file can contain several games.Perhaps it can be possible in the new Brainking version to download not only one game in pgn-format,but also a bundle of games, for instance all games of a tournement,some games of one player or some games of a special period?

25. Noiembrie 2003, 01:47:04

Be Patient. It is coming. And besides, your games (and everyone else's) seem to be progressing fine without it, so it doesn't seem overly urgent.

Why not revive the idea of a Ladder running along with the BKR?

23. Noiembrie 2003, 23:18:17

grenv

Combined ratings doesn't make much sense to me, since the games are different. Kind of like comparing Tiger Woods with Andre Agassi by combining the tennis and golf ratings?

I do like the idea of a multigame tournament though. It seems to me that you would need to play each rival in each game to make it fair.

I really like taurec's idea of a decathalon!

Subiectul: Decathalon Ratings

The only games which should contribute to a decathalon rating would be games against other decathaletes.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:53:34

Subiectul: oh yet to clarify

of the selected games two ratings will be recorded then -
for every player - her/his 'established' ratings and the decathlon-game ratings.
they should start fixed at the beginning of a season at 1350.
e.g. if chess belongs to them, each chess game has to be calculated for
both tpes of ratings separately to avoid useamly advantage for specialists.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:45:56

Subiectul: My idea would be as following

there will be a poll which games to select for a period of one ear.
then a scpecial decathlon rating is calculated cumulating in one
big tournament at the end of the period - not changing games,
but for each of the ten gametypes a signup will be required.
5er groups presumed, still to handle - 40 games. 2 days reflection time.
to make such a tournament attractive, brainking sponsors a prize.
onto that the person with the highest rating after a period will
be counted and credited as decathlon-season winner. :-)

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:33:51

harley

Ah I see, I thought the idea was an overall, all players rating :o)

Subiectul: Re: ratings

Personnally I think there are too many single BKR`s. Perhaps would it makes sense to summarize BKR`s in groups for instance all Halma games,all Checkers,all Gammons ? In Chess I would like to see three groups: regular chess, chessvariations with regular board and set, and variants with bigger boards and additional pieces.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:21:00

ughaibu

Taurec: pentathlons, decathlons and the like sould a good idea. I think it would be fun to have tournaments that change game for qualifiers as they progress.

Harley: I think you've missunderstood. The idea is an average rating calculated by the mean of all a players ratings. I think the average of all player's ratings over one game should be about the same regardless of the range, so lower rated players are needed to give other players high ratings.

Subiectul: ratings

may still be suspended for private games if wished so.
Should be no obstacle, thus - the ten games for a decathlon could
be determined by a poll and even promoted by annual price tourneys, then.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:13:01

harley

I'm not sure I'd like that very much, Caissus.

I have appalling ratings in some games, and I still continue to play them because I enjoy the game. But if I felt that my low rating was dragging down the whole of BrainKing I wouldn't enjoy play as much. And I'm sure the high rated players would feel quite frustrated at people like me holding down their favourite game rating!

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:10:14

ughaibu

I dont exactly object to the idea but it might cause ratings to be taken over seriously and considered competitively. There are two possible negative effects of such a tendency, first it could encourage various members to indulge in forms of rating manipulation, second it could discourage members from experimenting with "new" games for fear that poor results would adversely effect their general rating.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 11:10:06

Subiectul: it would still be interesting

to see an over-all chess-rating covering all normal variations,
(i.e. no screen/dark/anti) or similar for backgammon and pente as well.

Even a special Brainking Decathlon of selected games is imaginable.

It is right,Ughaibu I thought as an additional feature,as average of all played games.

Subiectul: Caissus

What would be the point of a general rating? The main point of ratings is to get a rough idea as to whether or not a prospective opponent is suited to one's own level and as such is game specific.

23. Noiembrie 2003, 09:59:06

Would be a "Brainking BKR" a good idea for the new Brainking version?
It could be the average of all single BKR`s.
Btw I don`t like the word "Enemylist", better : "Ignorelist".

i wish i had time to play 50 games, let alone 500, lol. I guess I'll retire one day and then try for triple figures. :)

Thanks Fencer! That is one of the many awesome things about this site!

No one will be restricted in the amount of moves a day.
