So according to the formulas, my rating should go down to about 2133, based on

Rpost = Rpre + K (S - We) + B

Rpost = 2141 + 16.2212 ( 0.5 - 0.992 ) + 0

So, now we'll see!

24. Декабря 2003, 19:47:24

Субъект: oh well

My rating did indeed drop to 2133. :(

I must be going crazy, I could have sworn that didn't happen in the past. Sorry for wasting everyones time looking at numbers and formulas. At least we all understand how the numbers are applied now :)

24. Декабря 2003, 19:49:07

Great, thanks Grenv for sacrificing your BKR to show us how it works, and prove some of us are not going insane LOL

24. Декабря 2003, 19:51:27

yes, and not only that i'm about to lose a game against an unrated but obviously good player. I may be hitting that floor soon! (see formula page if you don't understand that)

someone work out a bkr change for me please.
I played 5 games and had 2031.
I win against unrated they go to 1300 I stay 2031
I win against 1480 they stay roughly the same I stay 2031. so now 7 games, but not changed, surely these last two should have changed me by 1 or 3 or something small.

26. Декабря 2003, 12:05:05

pS I can understand no change if I had played many games, but only 7 so far, so thought there would be some change that was not really a sensible one like normal when only a few games played

Would it be an idea to have a board for questions of Czech-English translation?

Субъект: Re:

Something like

Rpost = (NRpre + mRavg + (W-L)400) / N+m
= (5x2031 + 2x1390 + 2x400) / 5+2
= (10155 + 2780 + 800) / 7
= 13735 / 7
= 1962

Apparently the system corrects for ratings going down when winning though.
You can't expect to gain anything playing against players rated 700 points lower than you.

26. Декабря 2003, 17:00:16

Sure. Read the FAQ page.

26. Декабря 2003, 17:11:35

Thanks :o) I probably got too much alcohol in blood to grasp that page at the moment LOL
So from what you worked out Grenv, if you win but would go down because of it, it says bkr wont change because a drop for a win is wrong :o)
Thanks :o)

26. Декабря 2003, 18:02:43

ummmmmm yes LOL

26. Декабря 2003, 18:08:01

ughaibu: That's a good idea.

27. Декабря 2003, 22:25:31

I think a nice feature here would be,when someone was registering a new account,the name of that account be shown too.For example: Linda J registering new account Bozo.
Seems it would deter some mutiple Id's

27. Декабря 2003, 22:33:41

Or list all accounts on one page.

27. Декабря 2003, 22:51:32

Got to catch them 1st and that in itself would be a job I would think

27. Декабря 2003, 22:52:47

harley

Fencer, is there still that glitch that shows some people logging in as 'registering a new account'? Just wondering! LOL, I've seen a few people listed as doing that and wondered...!

27. Декабря 2003, 22:55:33

Yes, I too have wondered what "registering new account" meant..

27. Декабря 2003, 22:57:16

harley: Yes.

27. Декабря 2003, 23:01:15

I thought that was when someone was editing their profile?

27. Декабря 2003, 23:04:26

harley

I was just clearing up that people showing this action weren't actually creating a new nic!

27. Декабря 2003, 23:11:49

That's right. When you are logged in, you cannot create a new account.

27. Декабря 2003, 23:13:34

What are they actually doing when it shows them "registering new account"? Are they editing their profile like Steve said?

27. Декабря 2003, 23:15:19

Wait a minute, let me check the source code ... ;-)

27. Декабря 2003, 23:22:40

loggerhead

They look tournaments or winners I think.

27. Декабря 2003, 23:23:18

Uh-oh! You won't believe it ... but it is caused by a typo in a source code responsible for the "tournament winners" page :-D

27. Декабря 2003, 23:25:09

harley

ROFL! That easy?!

27. Декабря 2003, 23:28:08

I wish that all problems would be that easy ;-)

27. Декабря 2003, 23:40:13

Fencer do Harley and I get an atta girl for bringing it up.LOL

27. Декабря 2003, 23:43:19

LOL Thanks LJ

I suggest to allow en-passant rule in screen chess and crazy screen chess. I used to this rule in chess and was very amazed that this is not allowed when playing one screen chess game.

Question: If someone deletes a fellowship, do the current running tournaments & games also get deleted?

Also do the tournament & game results also get deleted?

28. Декабря 2003, 03:59:08

No, I still have games going from tournaments in fellowships that have recently been deleted.

28. Декабря 2003, 04:02:14

Wait, I'm probably wrong, that fellowship I'm thinking of, only changed names.

28. Декабря 2003, 11:33:47

I have a tourny that I am in, and playing, that the fellowship has been deleted by the boss, when I go to the tourny page it says null, but still running ...mmmmmm... I thought the tournies disappeared normally

Субъект: Past Nick List

There seems to be a lot of people changing their nicks ... some, like BIG BAD ?, are easy to follow but others are not and I am easily confused. Would it be possible to have in each person's profile a list of the names that they have used in previous lifetimes (not talking about multiIDs here).

28. Декабря 2003, 17:05:50

Субъект: Past Nick List

That would be a good idea. And if it was something that could not be done, a good suggestion to users if you are going to change your name is to put in your profile something like "Once known as XXXX"

BBW 2004 aka BIG BAD SANTA aka BIG BAD WOLF

Субъект: Re: Past Nick List

I think its a very good idea. Maybe being able to have more than one Username per i.d. that way, like you changed yours BBW, it lets you have a bit of fun at certain times.
I changed mine earlier in the year and someone took MadMonkey straight away to teach me a lesson. Luckily they let me have it back though :o)

28. Декабря 2003, 17:25:05

Jason

when a user creates an account you should pick a permanant id (eg for me it could be jason091068) then you always have that on your profile , so if there was 10 jasons i could look on the profile and see jason091068 and know who i was playing with ;)

28. Декабря 2003, 18:34:02

Jason

my point is that a number (my case anyhow) isnt easy to remember a name is . yes i was refering to iyt way of things . you can change your name there anytime ... but in theory you can here if people know your id number

Субъект: Watchlist of games

Suggestion:A watchlist of observed games can be a good feature!

29. Декабря 2003, 15:39:31

What exactly do you mean by a 'watchlist', Caissus?

29. Декабря 2003, 15:56:23

Субъект: Re: bumble

It can be,that you have some games of your partner or your opponent,which you want to observe constantly.
At the moment you first have to search these games.You have to click on the player`s profile,then on the tournement and then on the the special game,which you want to observe.
If you have a watchlist,you can put this (these) observed game(s)in the list und can see the games at once if you open the list.(Wow,complicated to declare for me:))

I asked one time about bookmarking games and it was suggested that I mail the address to myself, this works quite well.

29. Декабря 2003, 16:05:53

bumble

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, that would be handy for chess players.
I know what you mean about searching through a player's profile to look for games! It takes ages.

Yes, bookmarking is possible too, but there are so many things possible outside of Brainking :).

29. Декабря 2003, 16:14:05

But if you internally mail it to yourself within BrainKing it's not outside, it takes an extra click, copying, etc but it's okay.

Субъект: Re:

I have tried it, yes and it works okay,if you only are observing two or three games.
But if more it will be confusing.
At the moment I bookmark these games with the Internetexplorer in a special folder.It`s better because I can name the links.

It would be very easy to create a webpage and just put links on there. there are many sites such as freewebs.com etc that you can create a site for free.

Why not use a web browser which supports tabs?
1. Mozilla, which has native support
2. and for example SlimBrowser which I use, which uses original Internet Explorer to display pages but supports tabs.
That way I simply have one window and 10 tabs in it, to display my favourite games and you can set stay here as default move.
