Aganju: Ah yes, it's a good idea to travel but I've no children living outside France.

grenvthompson: 30 different dates ! I'd like to know how this day is chosen.

In France, Fathersday is the Sunday 2 or 3 weeks after Mothersday, this year the 18 on June. Is it the same in your country ? Is there a Fathersday in your country ?

Mélusine: Yes ever here in the UK soon.

crosseyed: I prefer Mothersday because I do nothing this day. I've a present and I choose what I want to eat and my children and their father make the meal. I remember that a few years ago, I chose something easy to cook, but now they have experience in cooking, so the meal is better ! It's funny. It makes good memories.

Mélusine: That is lovely for you. Long may it lasts
BYW Father Day in the UK is 18th June too.

crosseyed: septemeber is fathers day in Australia I think...dont know about nz

Bernice: It is odd that the dates are so completely different in so many countries for Mother Day and Father Day. You would think they would both be on set days.

crosseyed: in the netherlands mothersday is always on the 2nd sunday in may, and fathersday on the 3rd sunday in june

Mr.T said he loves his mother even on Father's day

ketchuplover:

ketchuplover: And, on Mothersday, mothers celebrate Mothersday for their mother and love their father too.

crosseyed: it sure is ;0(

Hrqls: That makes it easier to remember them both.

Carnie: you have some contradicting asumptions here...

You talk about the end of brainking - there is no defined end, only in the mind of some fatalists. But even if brainking 'ends', then you would not 'time-out', and even if you would, it wouldn't matter anymore. So where is the problem?

Also, there is a resign button at the bottom. Keeps you from timing out, if it is so important for you.

Did you contact your opponent and ask for a draw (or offer a draw in the game)??

Finally, which part of 'Time per move: 7 days' did you not understand when you signed up for the game? It is well known that many players fully use the alloted time; and it has been discussed about a gazillion times in detail here. If you don't want to play that slow, don't sign up for such games.

Carnie: If you're playing robtoo, the game is almost certainly unrated anyway, so even if you resign it's not gonna cost you any rating points.

Carnie: Keep playing here as like others have stated there is no definite ending to Brainking in the near future.

Carnie:

Carnie: Never mind.

I don't like slow players but they don't cheat, they just play differently. I'm an optimist, I renewed my subscription.

In this tournament table the S-B values are wrong. Me and tolsty2002 should have the same value, since we have the same match results.

Mélusine: Good for you.

Thom27: Not necessary. If tosty had a lower bkr when this tournament started (feb 2012) and since you two split your match the player with the lower bkr wins. Both of you also won all your other matches.

Marshmud: Actually it does look like a bug, the S-B should be 33 for both. Ratings don't matter for the S-B.

S-B is just you add the points for each win they have.

Each players had 1 win against a player that had 9 points.(x1 = 9 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 6 points (x2 = 12 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 4 points (x2 = 8 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 0 points (x2 = 0 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 2 points (x2 = 4 points)

So each player should have ended up with a 33 S-B rating.

coan.net: The actual S-B total sum has been incorrect for some time but the order has been correct. I was explained in the past that if a tie the lower rated player wins. However I think it was in a prize tournament I ran and fencer paid it out that way. Your correct there is a bug .I've noticed the sum of the S-B total has been incorrect in many of the tournaments I've been in

coan.net: I thought the Sonneborn-Berger system is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points and is based on a theory that points earned with a stronger opponent are more valuable than with a weaker one. So there should be no tie unless both players have the same BKR.

Thom27: After further investigation I stand behind my original statement. In fact you should of won that tournament.

Marshmud: I don't find a rule anywhere that in case of equal ponts and S-B, the rating decides. But here I found an example of a shared victory in this case. So it seems to be a bug or glitch.

Maybe fencer will find time to fix it.

Marshmud: This only applies to "single elimination" tournaments.

"Warning! If a normal game ends as a draw, the player with lower BKR would advance to the next round (in case of equal BKRs, the one who didn't start the game - the black player in most games). If you want to avoid such situations, create this tournament with 1 win matches instead."

Pedro Martínez: Yes my friend but is that not a BK rule and have nothing to do with the S-B?

Marshmud: They are both tie-breakers. The rule below in SE tournaments, and S-B in regular tourneys. In other words, Thom27 is correct in his original post.

to who the person who took my post down ty i thought it rude to do that once angian ty

winterangels Since the uncertainty of this site a lot of people have not renew their membership which is understandable. There are also many others who would like someone to pay for a membership.
I think you have to accept that you can play in this game site for free albeit limited.

Heavenrose: Happy Birthday to you,hope you have a Great Day !
