Blitz feature added

Isn't this blitz version just a copy of uchess, but without grades?

Well spotted wedgehead2!

When I play around the 20th move or so an problem with internet explorer occurs and it says something about an add on. I have played 3 times and around the same time this occurs. I do not know if it is just my computer or I have to change a setting to allow something. Has this occured to anyone else? This is just something that has been occurring and must get really annoying for people I am playing against

not a problem with my games

Now, when is the Blitz icon getting restyled to match the others?

I am not sure what you mean.
I tried again today and I was able to finish a game so I do not know what the problem was

thanks for the news !

Definatly agree with the bigger board suggestion. I normally get beaten terribly on uChess and I like to think that part of that is due to board size...

How come it doesn't recognize a draw by 3-fold repetition? I just finished one blitz game where I lost because we repeated the position for like 30 sec until I ran out of time

the games aren't rated .. . if you repeated 3 times and knew it, you had a draw . .you didn't lose . not even on time . . .. .

yeah but its the thought that counts...especially since the other player didn't except draw offers..

exactly. . .that is the point . . it's only "the thought" that counts. . .there is no residual effect, right?

Yeah thankfully they are not rated yet, huh? That would have really been annoying if you lost some points as well; especially to someone who did not earn it. Hopefully this is fixed before rhp gets rated.

ha,ha. This reminds me of a blitz game i played on here where my opponent has like 30 seconds left and he keeps offering me draw after draw but I kept rejecting till his clock ran out. Kinda funny that he wouldn't just resign it even though he wouldn't lose any points. Maybe it was a pride thing with him?? 🙂 lol

p.s.

I know i could have accepted(draw) and it wouldn't affect my rating but it seemed kinda insulting that he would offer it. Like i was too dumb to figure out i was winning or something. And that made me even less willing to accept. If he said it nicely and gave a good reason i probably would have accepted, though. 🙂

Can someone explain what the little icons mean that are next to the names of people in the waiting room?

Thanks
