Want to start straight into the action and tactics of chess? Then come and test yourself. Whether you want to start from the crown of your favorite opening or want to experience the joy of the Tabiy'at from the Caissic ancestor, Shatranj, PLAY THE GAME!

Who is best prepared?

Winner gets a 6 month brain knight subscription to BrainKing.com.

Is it possiblr to start the next round of a tournament, where all the winners are determined, yet there are still some games being completed that won't affect the outcome?

there is a three way tie in a section? :)

If there is only 1 section, it will be a tie for all the players who win. (For some of the "Fast Start" tournaments with 5 players, there have been some that have been a 5 way tie!) Hopefully Fencer will look into letting the tournament creater do at least 1 or 2 "tie breaker" sections to break ties.... without going on forever.

IMCK - Right now it's not set up that way, but hopefully that is something else Fencer will consider doing as an improvement.

I also noticed we have only 5 pawns out of 67 signed up. All you pawns out there should consider joining the tournament if you have the room. If you like backgammon, you have 2 chances to win a paid membership.

Because of the low percentage of pawns in the tournament, I would ask that, even thought it's not required, if the winner is a paying member already, that you would dontate the memberships to a pawn. It's not required, but would only help to further along the site.

Currently there are five Janus Chess tournaments (of varying lengths) of which I am aware currently running on BrainKing.com. I want the chess-playing public to know about this intriguing chess variant here. At one point there was a Janus Chess Fellowship; I went looking, and did not find what I was looking for. I have a great love for the 8x10 board, and the possibilities it offers in terms of creative solutions for attack. Gothic is my favorite, but Janus Chess pulls at my attention. I have played through some great games, and for pure shock value, as well as breathing new vigor into an attack the (Janus=Archbishop) certainly packs a punch!

I want the Janus Chess Invitational to become a prize-centered tournament, if the right attention is given to it.

Sign up if you are interested in its becoming a prize-centered tourney.

I'am sincerly sorry for the delay in starting my Tournament due to the fact i've had technical difficulties,And having the Flu as well.Sorry for inconvenience regarding this matter.it will not happen AGAIN.

Have the rules been changed regarding Pawns entering more than one tournament, or allowing them to enter new ones if they've advanced past the first round or have been eliminated? I ask because I noticed one of my opponents who is a BrainPawn member is in two running tournaments as I write this. Though he only has eight games going at the moment, I remember Fencer telling me that a BrainPawn member could only be in one tournament at a time.

Which user is it?

There were exceptions made for the benefit tournament(s).

Beginners Tourney All games
To start April 21
No one over 1600 can enter!

Join my new tourney, 1 day time limit
Super Fast
Known stallers will not be welcome as we want a really quick tourney.
Thanks

how can you get stallers on a one day time limit tournament ?

LMAO if they have set weeks of vacation I guess ;oÞ

LMAO stallers in a one day tournment, now I've heard it all. LJ there's a site for fast play, you can pick from games.yahoo.com or zone.msn.com.

You may think it is funny, but there are people who get their enjoyment on this site from purposly stalling. There are some who would love to get into a one day tournament for no other reason than to drag it out as long as possible. And with vacation days and weekends, one could drag it out for months.... There really are no options on this site for fast players, as all it takes is one or two people who enjoy ruining the fun for others...
Also there are a hundred or so members here that use WebTV, and are not compatible to play games on Yahoo or other sites which play live games.

Is ur tourney u have set up for every1 or would u just like non-members?

I assume you mean his prize tournament? It has been set up to only allow pawns, so no one that isn't a pawn will be allowed to enter... :-)

Stevies quick checkers under 1700BKR

have fun and enjoy the games :o)

Steve

Why, all of the sudden, do the black pieces have this horrible green background? It's a real distraction.

It looks the same to me, I don't see any green background. Is this happening for you in any other game types?

all the pieces are fine on my games

Wow - With less then 2 days of signups, the special "Fast Start Backgammon #300 tournament already has over 20 players signed up. Still a few more hours to sign up if you want!

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

All Games - FAST #2 tournament will start in about 3 more days. This tournament is great for players who like faster games - only 2 days per move.

No, just sp-line4, but today it is rectified.
Case closed!

One more player needed in anti-chess

8 players - 14 games pro player

<I dont know if anybody has seen where Lamby said that she was leaving the site????/

She has holidays set from tomorrow till the end of april>..

I have a 3 day tournament running which means the others in the tournament are kept waiting for (with weekends) many many days for these to time out....is there anyway of removing her from the tournament in question?

it i s backgammon Easter Egg Special...or something LOLOL

Bernice - As of right now, Lamby really isn't holding anything up since not very many games in the tournament is complete yet.

Which means in early may (once the vacation time is over), as long as she does not come back and start playing, the games will time out at that time...... and I would almost bet that by that time, you will still have 1 or 2 OTHER games that are still not complete, so my guess is that she will not hold too much up in that tournament.

thanks BBW :)

just wondered what would happen is all LOL

it seemed as tho it could go on forever :(

Bernice, it can. have a look at the very first tournament, the "official" one that fencer started in the jurassic era. the chess is still in round 2, which started last august. even taking into account the 3 month wipeout of last year, this is impressive.

I plan to add tournaments where no vacation days can be used and no timeouted games will be restored.

I have set up a new Tourny (invite only, to weed out the er.....well.....weeds LOL) If i left ya out send me a message :o))

FENCER: is there an easier way to invite people? I find going to their profile takes an age!! Maybe a list of your friends with a tick box? Like when adding additional games?

Not yet.

I thought of something simular a while back to remove people from the friends list Aragon. I have about 250 on mine at present, collected over the time here, but alot at the bottom dont even play here anymore, tick boxes to remove them would be a great help LOL.
