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

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

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

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..

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
