Games for Game Courier. The many games you can play online with Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Greetings to all Chess Variant players! I have often found myself looking to play a live game on the Play By Mail Game Courier, but not able to connect with anyone that can play at the same time. So I have created a chat room (with no requirements to download any software) to help pull fellow gamers together online at the same time. The chat room address is http://www.chatzy.com/574469514839. I titled the room 'Chess Variants Lounge'. Pretty simple to access and no registration required. Hope to find some of you there looking for a live game to play.

Yeah, but after I make my changes, enter user id, password and hit save,
the preset is still the same at the chessvariants link at:

/play/pbm/presets/medieval_chess.html
Click on this button to start the preset: (this is what the text says
above the link)

Any changes I try to make are not saved. Also, someone has altered the
board I created to have different colors than what I had created it for
and the title has a '+' symbol in it which I did not put there either.

How hard can it be to get this preset right? It's a simple revision and
you guys are pushing it back to me...come on, nip it in the bud, and just
set the preset to this new set up! PLEASE!

/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DMedieval+Chess%26settings%3DMedieval+Chess

Let me explain to you how it's done, First go to this link and look at
the preset. Then save that one as the revised preset. Simple.....no? The
new preset has 10 rows, not 11. That's the only difference.

Thanks

First of all, I was told by you that only an editor can change the preset
of a game that has been added to the Chessvariants site. I tried to change
it, but to no avail. I requested this several weeks ago. To this day, I'm
still trying to get Tony to change it to the new preset, but he is not
responding to my emails. So I posted the new preset on the forums here,
hoping an editor would change it for me. Now, I just noticed that there is
an error when trying to click on the game link.

So anyway, I cannot even see the preset to make changes now if I could. Is
Tony the only person who can help me with this?

It says the following:

'Syntax Error on line 23b11-b9 is not a valid expression, because b11-b9
is not a recognized piece, coordinate, command, or subroutine.For the sake

Please delete the game of Medieval Chess between Carlos Carlos and Ironlance. The game is not working and it will not let me delete it. Thanks.

Editors: Please revise the preset to Medieval Chess to this updated one,
but still link the rules page to the Chessvariants.com rule set. Thanks.

Well, this is Medieval Chess, developed by the Illuminati long before Shatranj was introduced into the european society. Medieval Chess has been a secret for many centuries until recently unvieled in the archives of the Vatican City.....just kidding!! I guess it should be categorized under themes. I'm a medieval war fanatic and thought the name was just appropriate for the new pieces, Seer, Swordsman, and Longbowman. Maybe I'll rename it to Stronghold or something.

Just a suggestion. It would be great to have a link to your opponents email on the preset page of the game your playing. I had just recently made a move in a game and noticed just after that my opponent had made an illegal move prior to mine. But I could not quickly find his email info to let him know. A quick link to send a message would have helped. Thanks.

If your not going to allow chess variant players to play Gothic Chess on the PBM system, at least allow us to delete our logs with pending Gothic Chess invitations. Thanks.

When I enter my username and password to view just my logs, it shows the two old games that you don't see in the general PBM logs. I have 3 current logs dating October 2004 and the two I need deleted are Aug. 27th of 2003. You may have to log in under my username to see this.

Hi Fergus, I have two old game logs from August 2003 I'm trying to delete, but I keep getting a a warning from the Game Courier that says something about an illegal move...weird. Can you delete those for me?

Hi there Fergus...I have a favor to ask you. Could you please put a new
piece set together on the Game Courier site? I'm putting together a new
preset for a game and need additional colors. What I need for the preset
are:

Just using alfaerie pieces: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, and pawn
in
four colors: white, blue, red, and yellow. So you should only need 24
pieces for the set. Maybe call it Alfaerie: Different Color Armies.

Thanks so much!
Travis

Great system! but in the 'My games' section I noticed when I entered my User ID beginning with a lower case letter, it does not list all games I'm actually playing. But If I enter it with a capital letter starting, it lists my other games. Is there a way to view them all without having to do this?
