I'm there now & made my first move. You here?

Edit: Guess not. Let me know if/when you are here & want to play

If you navigate away from the page the go to it will list whatever games you are playing and if it's your move it will be listed.

I just tried it & don't see a move list?


Edit: OK....Only if it's your move will i be listed...Got it

Richard...Is there a way to stop a game without resigning? I started a game for pret but he hasn't shown up yet & I want to close that window.

You don't have to keep the window open, you could turn your computer off if you wanted. The moves are stored in the database on the server. So you could play a game over an indefinite amount of time if you wanted... So if you're looking for a really fast game that can be accomplished if you keep reloading the page but you could also have a very long game if the member only comes around occasionally.

Here's the general idea when you go to the main page , it should have a list of links to the games you are currently involved in. If its your move there will be a little bit of text next to the link that says your move, you could if you wanted play hundreds of games at once, there is no time limit...

Got it. Thanks

I just resigned to pret.. But.......In my defense, pret is a HS math teacher & math was always my worst subject!!
Fun game.....Thanks pret!

I was a bit nervous with your federal training Dr. D! That was a fun game. Great idea Richard! Kudos!

Not to take anything away from your victory pret, but isn't beating a "Head Injured", "Brain Dead" TBI survivior like me, similar to gloating about beating your Grandmother at Ice Hockey!!

I am of course kidding!!

Thought I'd bump this back up. Does the chess game still work here Richard?

No it was removed some time ago and doesn't look like it will be reappearing for the foreseeable future.

I'll be adding some type of games at some point. phpbb2 had a nice modification for multiple flash arcade games. It kept high scores and you could tie it in with a points system. The points system would give you points for posts, e.g. 5 points per post and X amount per characters. You could then "spend" these points to play the games. The points went into a jackpot for the game, beat the high score and you'd get the jackpot. You could also gamble by betting points against each other. Was pretty fun, I have it set up on another site but that's for a band. Not sure if I'll be adding the points system here though because it's kind of cheesy IMO.

Does this site still have a chess app?

Sorry no it was removed a while ago because the mod for it was never finished. I'll go take look though and see if anything available.
