same points won for a checkmate and a timeout

I don't know what's going on...

I rewrite my idea.

I want to know if it will be a good idea to introduce a factor K to reduce the numbers of points won by time-out. If the opponent doesn't move, because he wants to leave the plateforme (what a strange idea) or because he is too busy on the real life to finish his games, why should I have the same numbers of points as if I won the victory by checkmate?

I think it is too easy to win by time-out, so I propose to have a factor K (with 0

Forum cuts posts after less than symbol followed by number???

EDIT: This is killing my mind.

As for the idea itself it's crap. A win is a win. What's to stop players who are losing letting games timeout so they lose less points?

just adding to the thread:

The looser can loose more points than the winner wins, if uit came to taht. But then we would need a big brother to distinguish between timout by actual problems and timout by lazyness...

But on that point I like the idea that a stalemate counts as loss for the stalemating player 🙂

I think you should get extra points for having more pieces at the end. So if I have 9 queens, 2 rooks, 2 Bishops and 7,000 knights I would factor K x 10 to the third and get way more points than you when all you have left is a pawn and no king

Next, I would get my extra pieces from the last game as mercenaries, until I filled 17 chessboards. Remember not to steal my great ideas.

I think we should also get a third colour... grey. If my grey knight takes a black queen then it turns into a grey knightqueen and can hop all over the dimensions.

I think it's a better idea for me to get the grey pieces... and I can also control yours.
