Daniel Snyder: I very much agree with this.
Maybe the sequence could be that after two passes and the marking of dead stones, the other player has an option to remark differently (rather than reject) or accept and finish the game. In case of remark, the first player can now accept and the game is over, or, both players are forced to play a stone on their next move after which the game proceeds normally.

When a Player Passes and then chooses what pieces to make dead stone and the other player rejects the dead stones.... This could go on for ever... They should have a way after 2 rejections to determine who the winner is... Some players will not accept the dead stone, so there is a stalemate... There should be a better rule statement for Go...

I should probably have posted this here, rather than on the "Chess variants (8x8)" board.

I'd like to see Compromise Chess added. It seems to me to be a close cousin (or maybe just an older aunt or uncle) of Ambiguous Chess.

Rules summary: player to move proffers 2 candidate moves (except in cases of forced or "only" moves--which are directly made); the other player decides which of the 2 candidate moves is actually played. (That's why it's a compromise: both players help determine what's actually played.)

Where things get really interesting: captures, checks, and responses to them.

Fencer, see, that's why we all like you...

pauloaguia: It will be changed tomorrow.

pauloaguia: But no matter what

Marfitalu: Paying members can use them in their messages for pawns. Pawns just won't see the smiles, that's all. But pawns have ways to know what smile you're using. It's just that some members are new and just don't know where to get that type of information (especially since the help system is still in the making ) and some missunderstandings may arise.

The way I see it, everybody should be able to see whatever formating you put in the messages. After all, sometimes the format is part of the message.
Pawns just wouldn't have access to the special editors that make writing those messages so mush easier, weather it's the smile popup or the RTE editor or whatever else that comes along in the future.

But that's just my opinion and I've already expressed it many times in the past before.

nabla: I've been saying the same thing ever since they came out

Summertop: I also second that. If pawns would see how funny the smileys were they would know what they are missing.

BIG BAD WOLF:


I concur

BIG BAD WOLF: Mmmm hmmmmmm.

Summertop: I would also like the smiley's to be similar to how the HTML font size stuff works.

That is pawns can see the smiley's and such, but if they type the *###*, it will not work.

That way paying members don't have to be carefull on what to send to each person depending if they are a pawn or not.

Summertop: I second the idea. In many of my games after a number of moves, my oppoents ask : "What are these numbers?"

And I have to give them a link!

Fencer: Looks good. Apparently they are only for paying members. Could the "display" of them be made available for non-paying members? I have games with pawns that just see "weird" numbers.

redfrog: Still tuning the bloody JavaScript.

fencer: Thanks for the updates.... much quicker load....

How about Bunker and Hostage Chess and Dutch checkers?

mctrivia: and no do-overs!!!!!

buda_30: That is fine. Just pointing out it has some downfalls that people need to think about if it does get installed.

If you watch a game it would be nice if the perspective woudnt change when a player moves.

mctrivia: I would like it to be an option.. not something for everyone by default.

buda_30: If you did that you would not be able to take it back if you relised that was not what you wanted. Also would not work for some games like froglet.

Instead of having to wait for the entire board to load again to press the "Move" button, why not have a immediate move option in settings where the piece is both moved and registered, avoiding having to press "Move"?

redfrog: personally i love the idea

how bout an "accept all current challenges" button?

mctrivia: Yup that works too!!

grant: Put your other messages in the notepad.

Skittles: or even faster holing ctrl and pressing v will past the message you copied on any windows computer.

Skittles: true true but it'll only work for one message. i'm feeling very lazy

grant: If your using a computer you can always copy and paste your good luck message, then all ya have to do is right click your mouse and paste the message each time.

wouldnt it be great we had a set of default messages we could pop into the message box at the start and end of the game. i know i sound lazy but typing hi gl, gl2u2 etc is easy enough but when you have two or three tourns starting at the same time it can get a bit repetative maybe repeating it thirty times in a row, i do it obviously (mostly) because i want to and its polite too, but is there an easier way?

well thats my 2c worth

Marfitalu: Possibly!

Pythagoras: It's a new game!

Bopop: .

??????????????
Why you put so many spaces???????

I have thought that it be fine put on this site games


































































I have thought that it would be fine put on this
site games like mill (nine men's morris) and Bashnya (a stack game that is played with the pieces of checkers). Moreover,there would be others intersting variants of checkers,like frisian,international,brazilian,italian, spanish, russian,canadian...Bopop

Wouldn´t it be a good idea to have another ranking list? One that states 0-100. At 100 you are the best and at 86, 86% of the rated players has a lower rating. I would like to see something like this cause I´m ranked a whoppy Forty-Seven at Legan Chess, but that's last place!

I have checked past games with them but couldn't remember the messages

Skyking: Another tip: go to their profile. Click on "Finished Games". Click on "Show games with me only". Sometimes that can remind you of who a person is.
Also, if you are someone who doesn't delete their PM's often, search for the name in your Inbox, and see if they have sent you messages in the past, and that can help remind ya too!

rod03801: I have some in there I'm afraid to ask them who are ya LOL.Thanks..I didn't know about the Description feature

Skyking: It would be great if there were a "name history" in people's profiles.
There IS something you can do if they are on your "Friends" list, however. Use the "add a description" feature. If you put whatever name you know them best as, it will always be there with their name on your Friends list. Not the best solution, but it's something! :-)

I notice that alot of my friends have changed ther names at BK. Is it possible to have a place that tells who these players were?

Pedro Martínez: Thanks! just saw it at Statistics/Running Games

buda_30: http://brainking.com/cz/Statistics?p=1

Get a bird's eye view on the most popular games on the server.

It might be cool if I can filter the Waiting Games list only to games I'm willing to play instead of often scrolling through 3 screens and find nothing.

jurek: I didn't consider that.. that might be a concern.

buda_30: Any of the Gipf project games would be a great addition I think, but I'm not sure if they're available to play (a la copyright concerns). Can anyone shed any light on these particular games?

Back to Feature Requests, Please!

grenv: I have always steered away from that type ofthing (including yahoo toolbar) for 3 main reasons

1. It takes up browser viewable space

2. I always thought that there may be some kind of spyware or adaware involved in it

3. I thought it decreased the performance of my PC

If anyone has any relevant information to address any of my concerns I would welcome it
