Hey Kevin ... Thanks, Bud !

Yep, when the time runs out, the game is automatically forfeited, and they do count towards ratings and win/loss. However, if the game had less than 4 moves when timed-out, it will still count towards your win/loss, but will not affect your BKR, win or loss.

Subiectul: Game Timeouts
How are game timeouts handled here ? Are they automatic ? Do they count towards the win / loss record as well as the BKR ?

Subiectul: Re: BrainKing Ratings
Players ratings. You can see the way this works in the FAQ section.

As for 2) the general rule is for 500 gap you won't win any at all, 400, 1 from 10 and so on.

Okay, more whisperzzzz ... how does black get their bishop to b4 at move 6 (past the e7 pawn). Maybe that explains the !? marking :)

I think there is something missing from your "real gambit" listing, there should be a line 4 :)

Am I right in supposing that Larseenn you speak of is the one from way back?
I know the queen manouevre is risky but it is sometimes enough to catch (albeit weaker) players off guard and wrap things up quickly. I have a good example on IYT.

The URL would be:

with the # on then end of that.

All I did was look at a different game:
http://www.brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=50423
and remove the number so that you can edit and type in the number of the game you want to find.

Subiectul: In most cases
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4 c3 tends to be the mainline so white can hold the central pawns.
After 4. Nc3 then 4. ... cxd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 gives Black a good advantage. Whereas after 4. c3 , 4. ... cxd4 is a bit petty as after 5. cxd4 White has the central pawns and experience tells me that trying to take advantage of the weak looking a5-e1 diagonal is pretty difficult for black.

13. Martie 2003, 23:53:48

I'm lloking at 1. e4, e6; 2. d4, d5; 3. e5, c5; 4. Nc3. Of course, 4...cxd is best as it asks questions at once! 4...Nc6 is not any bad move, but it isn't forcing and allows White to try something like 5. Nf3, cxd; 6. Nb5 (or perhaps even e2!). 4...cxd threatens ...dxc3 - so now what? 4. Qxd4, Nc6 with tempo.

13. Martie 2003, 09:58:03
jondownie 
But what about 4 ... Nc6 then one of your alternatives? It is too early for cxd. White's advantage rests on the central pawns, black's position hinges on the queen side.

13. Martie 2003, 01:06:28

Subiectul: Re: Analysis
Just 4...cxd and now what?
The interesting alternatives are 4. Nf3 and 4. Qg4, with 4. Bf4 in the hunt, too. Why play c3 when the idea is to keep the blockader on e5? Paging Nimzovitch!

Subiectul: Analysis
Does anypne here want to talk analysis? What are your idea for the French Defence after,
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3. This seems to be the mainline, but you could alos have a look at 4. Nc3 which I consider far weaker.

If you click the settings link on the left column, and scroll to the bottom, there is a checkbox there called "Notify by e-mail if the opponent makes a move and I am not on-line". If you make sure this in unchecked, it should solve your problem :-)

Subiectul: Re: Ratings
Four games gives you a provisional rating and after 25 games you will gave an established BKR.
BKR. BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula(*) for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. Click on a game type to get the current list of rated players sorted by their BKR.
Formula can be found:

Hi there :-)
You need to be a paying member to join the fellowships. If you ever do become one, there are some great fellowships to join already :-)
Being a BrainPawn (non-paying member) you can join one tournament at a time. If you click on the "Tournaments" link on the left column, a list of all the tournaments available for signups will come up. Click on the one you want to join, then the gametype, and then "sign me up for this tournament." Then you're signed up, ready to play :-)

Hope that helps!

Bluegill, In this varint of chess, the opponent has the choice to either accept the move, or request the first player makes an alternative move.
This is another interesting variant.

Hi sansone, and welcome! Favourite boards are discussion boards. At the top on every discussion board theres an option to 'add to favourite boards', then it will appear at the bottom of your page. That way you'll know straight away when theres new messages there. Hope that helps? :o)
Theres a question mark next to most stuff like that you can click on for info.
