...That's right. It was also why the shoutbox can't be set automatically to refresh either. Forgot about that.

EDIT: blc: I was actually referring to the fact there's no option to have the auto-refresh button to remain pressed first thing. You have to manually press it. lol

As long as the shout is being used it does refresh. If it is not being used it won't, why should it?

Wormopolis, I think we found a bug.



I have a legal move but it won't let me.  My king should be able to go to the right one and down one but it says checkmate with no move buttons.

Maybe it thinks.. it's a lost cause, give up already...

one thing about being a bad player, I'm finding little bugs.

[Wormopolis]

I just have some bad logic on the function that checks for ok paths. I have to tear it back down to find a way for it to exclude pawns in that scenario.. I sorta have it, but now its messed up the pawns ability to block a check

blc that should clear your issue in one of those games.

[koravichandrashekhar]

A game clock consists of two adjacent clocks and buttons to stop one clock while starting the other, such that the two component clocks never run simultaneously. Game clocks are used in two-player games where the players move in turn. The purpose is to keep track of the total time each player takes for his or her own moves, and ensure that neither player overly delays the game.

[Wormopolis]

well considering the game isnt really "live" in a sense that someone might go to sleep while waiting, Im guessing delays will happen. but what is considered "overly delaying" and what is the penalty?

Thank you.

This would be treated with the same rules of Correspondence Chess since forum posts are not real time.

Time limits in correspondence play are usually between 30 and 60 days for every 10 moves (plus transmission time in postal chess). This time allows for far deeper calculation, meaning that blunders can be less frequent. Certain forms of assistance, including books, chess databases and sometimes chess programs, are often allowed. Books and databases are almost universally acceptable, but organizations vary as to whether chess engine use is permitted
