| 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 |

| Posted by chuckventimiglia nsa-hitachi.com 1/31/2003 16:35:21 play online chess | The answer is that he.... Message: has probably exceeded his GK limit. 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: One decisive game will light up the contest -- After a game each with white and black, there is very little to choose between Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik in the World chess championship match here. On the first day of rest, there is one after every two games, it is too early to read much into the on-board occurring or the direction in which this chess match seems to be heading. A draw is a fair result for both as long as the match-score is level. So far it is. But once first blood is drawn, there will be a sense of urgency that will lead to exciting chess battles, featuring some verbal bombs as well. If it were a 12-round boxing bout, Anand should have been marginally ahead on points at this stage. He looked at ease ... Barden on chess -- India's Vishy Anand and his Russian challenger Vlad Kramnik meet this afternoon in Bonn in game four of their 12-game, €1.5m world title chess match. The eagerly awaited showdown has lost some of its gloss due to Kramnik's mediocre results at Dortmund and Moscow and Anand's recent disastrous last place in Bilbao. In consequence they are currently Nos 5 and 6 in the world chess rankings. I can not recall a previous world title match (except for Fide's knock-outs) where neither chess player was in the top two. Basically the result is too close to call and could be effectively decided if in one game either side can unleash a computer-prepared chess opening bomb. Expert opinion is ... Anand wins 3rd game of world chess match -- Defending chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India scored the first victory in his title match against Russian Vladimir Kramnik with a third game that saw both chess players take off the gloves and go at each other with gusto. After a dull draw in game one and a complex but civilized draw in game two, the two engaged in play they described as "complicated," but that description hardly catches the flavor of Friday's game. Anand, playing with Black, opted for the super-sharp Meran Variation of the Semi-Slav Defense, which Kramnik avoided in game one. Anand's 14th move, a bishop to b7, was a novelty at this level of play. Afterward, Kramnik said, "I have my doubts about it but ... | |
