The one thing I disliked about conditional moves is that it helped your opponent think by showing them what you thought were their only options so they could focus on them. when I played regular corr through mail/email through USCF, I would only use conditional moves if the play was totally forced. ...

Personally I think G/15 + 1 Day is plenty slow enough for me.. but.. since I know things and vacations do come up.. I plan accordingly and Play G/30 + 2 day. That way I have 14 days vacation built in.. plus an extra day per move if I take other days off from work or don't log in from home on the wee...

I'd say you are in an extreme minority of taking a whole month of vacation at one time. Also with the liberal 30days +2day increment.. you can easily accomodate a 2-3 week absense and still be able to play. A 30 day absense would be pushing it but still maneageable if you check the site every day, y...

Here's an idea. Don't put the team members in rating order, must make it that Each player plays 1 game or 2 games against every member of the opposing team. So with 5 player teams each player would have either 5 or 10 games going at once. A 5 player team vs 5 player team match would be either 25 or ...

I believe mluka is moving or about to move and may not be online for a bit. His last comment was that he was having issues and thought he had temporarily fixed it, but it seems its still not working. He mentioned he has a beta version of ladder 2.0 that is pretty buggy and might be willing to put it...

Sure, I play exclusively ladder and tournaments, So I'll give feedback. I'd like the ability to challenge more than 2 spaces up when the ladder gets larger than say 50 people though. (o; If its implementable i'd say <50 - 2 spaces up 50-100, 3 spaces up, 100-150 4 spaces up.. etc.... Just a suggesti...

I was leading an OTB event and went into the last round and knew that if I drew I would get money and my opponent would too. I had a really bad migraine at this point and played e4 and offered a draw. He thought about it. Went and looked at the wall chart and calculated the money.. came back and acc...

You probably want to set it up for 6 players, 1 game each. Rating 1400-1700/1800 if you set it for 5 games, it did 5 games per player. Better I think would be to do 4 players with 2 games each and you get 6 games Starting time of 10 days, with 5 days per move.. that is very slow for most people so y...

Re: Rating matters here
....fact I know 2 TD's back in the 70's who have expelled people from their tournaments for doing just that. They get their money back and a little speech on sportsmanship and get dropped from the pairings. Why would they give their money back. It would be more proper to fine them than give their E...

When I had over 100 games going at once, I would go past the ones I was losing at and only come back to them after I had made moves in all my other games, so I could sit and think about them and analyze more.

negative clock
I searched and couldn't find a topic for it.
How long after they hit 0 time does it take to award the win?
I've got one where they have negative time left.
Thanks,
