I'm sure Marinka will defend me on this... I was at least a minute away from tipping the board over - honest!

Playing Marinkatomb a moment ago, I was about to type a message and corrected a typo, then pressed "carriage return" in the message window in the middle of the string of text. This deleted half the text, posted no chat message, and the game hung at that point - clock timed down to zero.

Possibe bug?
Yes i was wondering what happened actually. You lost about 30 seconds on your last move, which in a 1 minutes game is a tad odd. Didn't realise you got bugged. 🙁

I think the blitz game is a huge success here. I'd really like to see some blitz ratings though so I can start showing off. 🙂

Edit: I have a list of people that I want to trounce, but I want it on record how bad I can beat these people. For example, I know I can take most "experts" 4 out of 6 here. Ya-know why? Cause they rely on their databases to play.
Oh it's so on brother! My blitz ain't amazing but a challenge like that can't go unanswered!! 😛

I'm waiting until Russ has set up an official record of the games. I go in and beat players, and beat them, and beat them again... for no reward and no recognition. I want to see a record.

While I'm at it, we need a blitz rating asap and I would like to see the player's names in the list (when you enter) starting from the highest blitz rating down. That way we all know who the king boss is. 🙂

You know, i'm actually enjoying playing unrated games. It removes the pressure and i feel a lot more relaxed about experimenting. I think my results have improved a lot without this pressure to maintain a cool rating. Still looking forward to seeing how my blitz rating matches up to my CC though. I recon the CC one will be higher tbh but you never know, i haven't really played blitz properly for years now... 🙂

I would also like to have separate blitz ratings. I hope Russ is not too busy with his other projects as, for me, this is the most important.

Anyone for 2/0 bullet?

Yeah, I just beat Pawnokeyhole and man, that guy is tough! But where's the glory? No records, no rating... no position. *sigh*

I know. Couple days ago I drew Korch and routinely beat all other players, and nobody praised me. Odd.

Awesome! I haven't done blitz in a long time. I'm enjoying it.

Is there a way to display the players' ratings on the game screen?

I just had this happen to me...

[Event "RHP Blitz rated"]
[Site "www.redhotpawn.com"]
[Date "2007.5.12"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Tryfon Gavriel"]
[Black "Arrakis"]
[Result "*"]

1. c2-c4 e7-e5 2. Nb1-c3 Bf8-b4 * and then my opponent stopped moving and when his time ran out the win was not claimed. Any ideas?
