KasperNymand: Hmm. That's interesting. Of course I've been a rook for over 10 years lol. And I do always see bishops IN fellowships. (But that is possibly because they were already in there when they had a higher membership, and may not be able to actually participate) Someone else may have to confirm if I have given you incorrect information. If so, I apologize.

Have you tried actually joining? (Instead of just viewing)

I voted in a BrainKing poll, as I often do when they are available.

This poll was about Nascar, which I know virtually nothing about. Which means I probably (certainly?) should have voted for "Don't watch NASCAR". But I didn't. Instead I checked out the odds on some website that google gave me, and found out that Danica Patrick was only 40-1 against, and so I voted for her.

The missing subtext is that lots of people simple HATE her, despite her being a solid racer at worst. So I chose to be "that guy" who voted for her.

Sue me if you don't like it.

Resher: This game was talked about in the Untouchables fellowship... I found it in the fellowship thread. That's how I know what happened.

Everyone interprets rules differently, that's why I asked for clarification in my original post. Also, per Aganju's request, further discussion should take place on the backgammon board: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26

LOL Crosseyed... sorry to ruin it for you!

Resher:

(1) I don't know. You may have discussed the game in a fellowship.
(2) The rule says that if (a) opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, then (b) the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move.

The situation described as (a) did not occur in your game, hence (b) did not (or would not) have to be enforced.

(1) How would cd power know I'd pointed out the rule to Zach then?  I was guessing he had special status, rather than everyone could see the comments.
(2) Why do you think that?  Apart from one stone on my 1-point (which can't move) all other stones are behind a six prime, so can't move either.  Please explain how you interpret the rule.

cd power: Thanks for finding this game - it's exactly the one I've been trying to find.  Zach was very good about this game.  He was about to win by just one roll, but because he had delayed unblocking by one roll earlier on, he offered a draw.  So this shows it can affect the outcome - it doesn't just apply to hopelessly lost cases that don't matter.

(I didn't realise that you could read all our in-game comments - is that some special privilege you have?)

Aganju: Here is another example (which I researched from a fellowship game) -- Resher pointed out the rule to Zach, and Zach later offered a draw in good sportsmanship because he didn't open up the spot on time. Click on move 25: Fevga (Zach vs. Resher)

cd power: you are right, it applies at move 27 (http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=6542931&i=53). at move 25, White could still move 2 -> 1(which it did). Black correctly followed the rule and opened, right when required (but maybe accidentally?).

crosseyed: I'm sure there are other rules on this site that are not enforced. For example, in chess, perpetual check is allowed and can force a draw that way. In Chinese Chess, perpetual check is not allowed and the person doing the check must break it off... hence, no forced draw. However, even though that is a published rule for chinese chess, it is not enforced on this site.

crosseyed: There is another rule that says you cannot prime (completely block) your own starting board, meaning blocking spots 1 to 6 right in the quarter where you start. You can prime any other place on the board. This rule is actually enforced, even if you wanted only to move through the spot (which is incorrect I think), like when you have a double and you want to move through the sixth spot, temporarily blocking the section, and then move on.

Marshmud: I was not aware that blocking a long line of pieces was against the rules. It has happened to me many times and I am sure I have done the same to other players a few times. However there have been times when it would not let me place a piece where I have wanted to because it would mean blocking the other player. When I have been blocked and there is no way I could win I resign the game as I don't see any point in holding up a tournament. As we all know some tournaments can take years to be completed.

cd power: I also had no knowledge of this rule. I think it's great that you proactively follow it - I'd suggest that when you do, you let your opponent know. Something like:

"Hi there. I'm not sure you're aware of this, but I was obliged to move one of my pieces since you were unable to move; this is a rule of the game that isn't enforced by the software. Just letting you know in case you find yourself in my situation in a future game."

The wording of why you were obliged to move a piece could probably be improved to include whatever the actual rule says.

cd power: By forcing your opponent to open up that spot after all his men is in his final section how do you expect to win anyway? I realize its mathematically possible.

I'm not trying to be rude just trying to understand the rule. If I was asked (and I never have) I would immediately open up a spot in my prime. I think 90% of the fevga players are unaware of this rule.

Субъект: Re: Fevga Rule
Aganju: Yes, my opponent thinks the rule is "unfair" and chose not to follow it after I pointed it out. It is a rare situation to have all checkers stacked on one point, and that is why most people are not aware of this rule. This is the first time I was the one with all checkers on one point, but it has happened several times where my opponents have stacked all of theirs, and I freed up a spot for them to have a chance to move. I believe you should always follow the rules at a game site if they are published... even if they are not your standard way of playing. Oh well.

Aganju: I've found that most people are happy to play by the rules and have moved when it's been pointed out to them.  If someone is refusing to abide by the rules and thinks it's OK because the programming lets them, then it ruins the tourny in my opinion.  I'd message Fencer with the game id, point out that you've referred your opponent to the rules but they won't abide by them and ask Fencer to end the game in your favour.

I'm not sure if this is where I post this, but can I get a clarification of the FEVGA rule for the following game. The rule in question is the 2nd to the last bullet: "It is allowed to build a prime (six consecutive blocked points) anywhere else (not in the player's starting quarter), but if opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move".

Fevga (cd power vs. TT2010)

Does my opponent need to move a checker, as all of my checkers stand on one point behind his? I have now had to pass already.
