1) The First Team Tournament has been started! Although some minor bugs can occur (i.e. in score counting), it should be working properly. 2) The User Agreement has been officially released and is valid for everyone. I would recommend to read it at least once.

Fencer	BrainKing 2.0 has been launched!	28. Giugno 2004, 09:16:44
Modificato da Fencer (28. Giugno 2004, 11:32:46)
Okay, I don't say anything ... let's wait and observe :-) We've already found some small bugs but they should have no negative impact on the functionality. One of them is showing incorrect red numbers at the menu column, so please don't report it, I am aware of it. Btw, what not to try Battleboats Plus, Dark Battleboats and Amazons? :-D

Fencer	Database conversion	27. Giugno 2004, 08:25:30
A scheduled downtime of BrainKing is planned on Monday 28th June 2004, 7:00 a.m. GMT+01:00 due to a conversion of our database. The process should not exceed two or three hours. In case of additional problems I will inform about the situation on BrainKing.info.

Fencer	BrainKing 2.0 release postponed	6. Giugno 2004, 09:35:05
Ehm ... hmmmm ... well, due to unexpected problems, we have decided to re-launch former BrainKing 1.0 again, until all possible [recently detected] performance bugs are fixed. I am sure it's better to have at least this site running. Sorry :-) We will try the switchover again next weekend, probably. UPDATE: Due to recent access problems of WebTV users, I have stopped game time [to prevent timeouts] until it is solved. It will be started again on Monday 14th June 2004.

Fencer	Database conversion	21. Maggio 2004, 18:17:08

Fencer	Suspended time	7. Gennaio 2004, 10:49:52
IMPORTANT: The "suspended time" will be turned off within several days [as of 9th January 2004]. Please make sure that none of your games (where it is your turn to move) has "0" as time left. Thank you. Update: I have temporarily disabled posting on discussion boards for non-paying users. It is a short time solution before I improve our anti-spam filter.

Fencer	New Year timeouts	1. Gennaio 2004, 09:57:43
Due to some New Year bug, several games had been finished by a timeout. I would like to ask everybody not to panic, everything is under control now. Please send me game IDs of all timeouted games, I will restore them. Thanks and I apologize.

Fencer	Recent database crash	4. Novembre 2003, 12:37:58
Since the description of the recent events is too long to be posted here, please read it on BrainKing.info before you ask me about anything. Thank you.

Fencer	Server is on	15. Agosto 2003, 12:44:35
The database server is fixed. The "suspended game time" switch will be turned off during this weekend (done).

Fencer	Brain Maharajah	13. Agosto 2003, 18:25:18
I would like to announce the first Brain Maharajah user on our site. The hero's user name is CaoZ, he has just paid for six months membership :-)

Fencer	Server failure	12. Agosto 2003, 06:47:30
A hardware failure has occured at our web/database server. We are currently running on the second server only and the time for games will be suspended until the first one is fixed. Since we have only Saturday database backup, all Sunday and Monday actions are lost. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Fencer	Auto-refresh off	4. Agosto 2003, 17:36:17
Due to performance testing I have removed the automatic refresh of main page and game pages for Brain Pawns.

I have added two new tournament options: 1) Unrated tournaments - no games generated for the tournament will affect the players' BKR. 2) Private tournaments - only players invited by the tournament creator can sign up. These options can be found on "define new tournament" page (visible for Brain Rooks only).

Fencer	PGN format	20. Giugno 2003, 18:53:24
I have added pgn encoder for chess games. Since I have never used this format before, I would like to ask anybody who is familiar with this format to test it. There is a new link "download pgn code" at the notation column of chess games.

Fencer	Improvement	17. Giugno 2003, 22:18:16
I have slightly modified the discussion board system to improve the overall site performance. Please do not be alarmed if all board posts are marked as "new", it is a harmless side-effect.

Fencer	New games!	8. Giugno 2003, 16:30:21
1) BrainKing.com releases three new games - Battleboats, Screen Chess and Crazy Screen Chess. 2) There is also new menu item Game editors to create game positions for later use.

More information will follow soon. 3) I've completely forgotten to announce an addition of Easy Pente and Easy Keryo Pente last week ;-)

Fencer	More moderators	14. Aprile 2003, 07:16:57
Modificato da Fencer (15. Gennaio 2006, 18:50:51)
I would like to thank everybody who responded to the discussion boards moderator request. Because I cannot send a personal response to all of you, here is the current status - several moderator posts are already occupied and if you are still interested, pick any of non-system and "open" (moderated by Fencer) discussion board and send me a message about that. Thanks again :-)

Fencer	Board moderators	13. Aprile 2003, 15:20:46
Modificato da Fencer (15. Gennaio 2006, 18:50:09)
Hello, since I have no time for reading all posts, I would like to set new moderators for non-system discussion boards (especially General Chat). If anybody is interested, please send me a personal message. Thanks :-)

Fencer	Opinion Polls	9. Aprile 2003, 12:56:37
1) I have created BrainKing.info site to publish all important BrainKing.com information (planned outages etc.). It is located on another server, so it should be available even in cases of BrainKing.com inactivity. 2) Due to analysis of experienced Pente players I have added the first moves restriction to Small Pente and Small Keryo Pente. Otherwise these two games would be virtually impossible to win by the black player. 3) The first simple opinion poll has been created to test this new feature. Please follow the Polls link. 4) Check out the new Winners page as well :-)

Fencer	Small Pente	27. Marzo 2003, 09:47:51
Modificato da Fencer (15. Gennaio 2006, 18:48:17)
1) I have just added Small Pente and Small Keryo Pente (13x13 board and no move restrictions). 2) It is possible to create more game invitations at once, check the last page of New game process. 3) We have exceeded 4000 registered players :-)

Fencer	Gothic Chess	17. Marzo 2003, 09:37:34
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:09:30)
BrainKing.com proudly presents (at the first game site in the world) Gothic Chess. This game is protected by U.S. Patent 6,481,716 and BrainKing.com has been granted a licence by Edward A. Trice, the inventor of the game. Of course, test it as you want :-)

Fencer	New games	10. Marzo 2003, 13:52:00
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:09:00)
Hello, I have just added three new games - Pente, Keryo Pente and Janus Chess. Since I have never played any of these games, I would be very glad if somebody could test them according to the correct rules. Thanks :-)

Fencer	Atomic Chess	4. Marzo 2003, 10:33:19
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:08:10)
1) After a long discussion I have made the final change at Atomic Chess rules. There is no check or checkmate and the only way to win is to blast off the opponent's king. It should solve all recent problems. 2) Backgammon - the current dice are displayed at the right half of the board which is (at last) correct.

Fencer	Crowded Backgammon	17. Febbraio 2003, 18:51:32
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:07:36)
I have a headache so I will be short. Two news: 1) Bigger backgammon graphics, see Settings / Backgammon. 2) A new variant Crowded Backgammon.

Fencer	E-mails	11. Febbraio 2003, 09:51:29
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:06:34)
Hello, please make sure that you have a correct e-mail address at your Profile. There are many players who entered an e-mail address with typos and all attempts to send e-mail to non-existent domain slow down our server. Thank you.

Fencer	Fellowship tournaments	9. Febbraio 2003, 21:31:42
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:06:08)
BrainKing.com brings several new features: 1) Prize Tournaments - any player with Brain Rook or higher membership level can define a tournament with a price for a winner. Such tournaments are highlighted at the tournament list. 2) Internal Fellowship Tournaments - each Big Boss can define a tournament for his/her fellowship. Only members of the fellowship can sign up for this tournament. 3) Several other minor improvements, you will find them :-)

Fencer	Server is fixed!	6. Febbraio 2003, 09:29:56
Modificato da Fencer (14. Gennaio 2006, 22:04:56)
Hello, the server problems have been fixed. Thanks to everybody who helped me with that. Of course, if some of your games timed out during the problematic days, send me the game IDs and I will restore them.

Hello again, I would like to inform you that we are still working on fixing the mysterious performance bug. Since we are to run several important tests soon, please do not be alarmed if some of BrainKing.com features are temporarily disabled. One more important thing - the membership of all paying members will be extended by the corresponding number of problematic days.

Fencer	Performance problems	31. Gennaio 2003, 14:18:39
Modificato da Fencer (13. Gennaio 2006, 16:41:02)

Hello, I have just added Halma in two sizes - 8x8 and 10x10, Gothic Checkers and Turkish Checkers. Rules and discussion boards have been added as well. Go and play :-)

Fencer	Unreachable site	29. Gennaio 2003, 10:21:49
Modificato da Fencer (13. Gennaio 2006, 16:39:47)
Hello, we apologize for the temporary shutdown of BrainKing.com. It was caused by a electricity defect of our server-housing provider. Everything is working now.

Fencer	Four Checkers games and smaller Five in Line board	26. Gennaio 2003, 17:44:12
Modificato da Fencer (13. Gennaio 2006, 16:39:08)
Hello, based on many requests the Five in Line board is changed to 15 x 15 fields. It applies to new games only, all started games remain with 20 x 20 board. And something for Checkers players - BrainKing.com presents four new Checkers games: Czech Checkers, Corner Checkers, One Way Checkers and Parachute Checkers. Play on! :-)

Fencer	Dark Chess and Atomic Chess	23. Gennaio 2003, 18:51:52
Modificato da Fencer (13. Gennaio 2006, 15:42:31)
BrainKing.com launches two more chess variations: 1) Dark Chess 2) Atomic Chess Feel free to test them, rules have been added and discussion boards as well :-)

Fencer	Backgammon and Horde Chess fixes	20. Gennaio 2003, 19:24:23
Modificato da Fencer (13. Gennaio 2006, 13:54:57)
Hello again, although I prefer "realistic" view of game boards, I have decided to accept the request of most backgammon players immediately and made one more change to this game board - both players can see the bearing-off area at the right side. I hope that you will find it comfortable. Second, based on Horde Chess players' request there is one important change in the rules of this game - a situation with black pawns unable to make legal moves ends as a stalemate (draw). It means that black player still has some pawns on the board but all these pawns are blocked by white pieces without a chance to capture any of them.

Fencer	Scheduled outage, tournaments and backgammon	18. Gennaio 2003, 18:11:12
Modificato da Fencer (12. Gennaio 2006, 11:51:58)
Hello, I would like to announce these important news: 1) Our server-housing provider wants to make a short power outage on Monday 20th January 2003, 7:00 a.m. GMT. This process should not take more than 30 minutes and BrainKing.com will not be accesible during this time. 2) Tournaments created by users with Brain Rook or better membership level have been launched! If it is applicable to you, you should see a new link Define new tournament at Tournaments page. Feel free to ask me any related questions. 3) Backgammon boards have been fixed and more displaying options (bearing-off area at the same side for both players) will be available soon. Rules have been updated.

Fencer	Nackgammon fix	12. Gennaio 2003, 14:46:30
Modificato da Fencer (12. Gennaio 2006, 11:24:47)
Hello, since there was a little bug in Nackgammon implementation (the starting position was wrong), all started Nackgammon games were deleted and the bug is already fixed. I deeply apologize. Please start your Nackgammon games again, everything should be correct now.

Fencer	Backgammon rules	11. Gennaio 2003, 09:01:28
Modificato da Fencer (11. Gennaio 2006, 14:41:50)
Backgammon (and its variations) rules have been added. A new chess variation Three Checks Chess has been added too and needs to be tested - play it :-) More about Backgammon - it seems that not all rules are implemented correctly (e.g. who starts a game according to the first dice roll, etc.), so please be patient, I will fix it as soon as possible. However, if you are tolerant to these little bugs, all games are playable.

Fencer	Backgammon!	10. Gennaio 2003, 08:00:44
Modificato da Fencer (11. Gennaio 2006, 14:41:11)
BrainKing.com presents four new games - Backgammon, Nackgammon, Anti Backgammon and Backgammon Race. Since most players wanted to add these games as soon as possible, I decided to release them before the rules are written. The rules will be updated within several days.

Fencer	The first tournament	6. Gennaio 2003, 19:18:53
Modificato da Fencer (11. Gennaio 2006, 14:40:50)

Fencer	Fellowships	16. Dicembre 2002, 12:08:12
Modificato da Fencer (11. Gennaio 2006, 14:39:54)
BrainKing.com launches fellowships - virtual game clubs on our site.
