| Posted by chuckventimiglia nsa-hitachi.com 1/31/2003 15:21:03 Play online chess | When a person starts out.... Message: he/she is only allowed 8 games I believe. then as they complete games their total allowed goes up to a total of 20. If they are a paying member that does not apply. Your player may have just a few games and 17 may be over his GK limit. As far as the comment "money rules here...." yes it does rule here and everywhere else. I really do not think that Mike is providing this site for nothing. It costs money to have this site and therefore the people that want to play need to be charged. This site isa good site and the only way it can keep operating is by charging the members for a level of play and the ones that choose not to pay should not have all the same benefits. Chuck |

If I knew the person this is affecting we will probably see that he is a non-paid member who is relatively new to GK. This happens to all team captains and the reason is always the same. A person can limit the team games he plays by telling the team captain. I do not believe there is anything in GK that you can automatically limit the number of games you play. the only exception that I know of is League play. In a League you can limit the number of games you play. This does not apply to teams. I wrote "astinkyfart" an email with this explanation. A time back I wrote the Global Bounty Hunters asking if they would challenge me for the same reason. I had a guy that I could not use in a challenge but could accept a chllenge if sent. He was exceeding his GK limit. Chuck |
| Posted by astinkyfart nsa-hitachi.com 1/31/2003 16:46:21 Play online chess | hey chuck Message: i think you are right. i thought they automatically started with twenty but i guess not. thanks for the answer. and sorry we have to beat up on your team :) ----stinky |

If he wants to belong to a team he should not take on any personal games. If he has personal games right from the start it limits his availability to the team. It makes it difficult for a team captain. |
| Posted by astinkyfart nsa-hitachi.com 1/31/2003 18:02:27 Play online chess | i do know this but>>>> Message: i would not want to tell a team member what to do with his or her personal time. alot of my upper players dont want many team games anyway. i think it will work out in the long run. the guy i was refering too only wants 10 games and has nine so its no biggie but thanks for your help. |
Chess news: Chess Notes -- The decisive game in the Anand/Topalov chess match, Game 12, was oddly a well-trodden Queen’s Gambit Declined, the Lasker Variation. However, Anand as black varied slightly from the normal variation, electing to defer equality for a move and then getting a bishop for a knight but putting a queen bishop pawn at risk. In effect on move 21, Anand seemed to be willing to take a draw with the black pieces, but Topalov would not repeat moves. Topalov had weakened his king side slightly, and apparently ... 11 Chess Tournaments Over 2 Weeks Create a Competitive Logjam -- The past couple of weeks should have dispelled any doubts about the vitality of chess. It would be hard to imagine a busier schedule. Last weekend, no fewer than eight chess tournaments were in play. In Odessa, Ukraine, the World Rapid Cup was won by Sergey Karjakin, a Ukrainian who now plays for Russia. In Malmo, Sweden, Anish Giri, 15, a Dutch chess grandmaster, took first in the Sigeman & Company tournament. And in Paraguay, Eduardas Rozentalis of Lithuania coasted to victory at the Asunción Copa Roggio. Meanwhile, 6 players out of a field of more than 200 tied for first at the Star Chess School tournament in Bhubaneswar, India, and Martyn Kravtsiv of ... Chess Grand Prix -- Ukraine grandmaster Pavel Eljanov, probably the least-known of the world's leading chess players, won the sixth Grand Prix chess tournament in Astrakhan, Russia. Eljanov's 8-5 score in the round robin gave him a distinct edge over his 13 rivals, who all finished between 7-6 and 5 1/2 -7 1/2. Eljanov, who turned 27 during the chess tournament, won five games, mostly by superb handling of Queenless middlegames. This success unofficially boosts him to sixth in the world rankings. He modestly said, "Today I am in the top 10, and tomorrow I can be far, far away." Thus the trouble-plagued 2008-2009 Grand Prix cycle ends, six months behind schedule. Levon Aronian of ... | |
