Originally posted by wittywonkaIt may not be anywhere in the FAQ, but it does explain sieges at the top of the front Sieges page. There isn't much that any of us would be able to add to what's already there, unless you want to know what our favorite colors are.
have you read the FAQ?
it says nothing about sieges...
Oh...just saw that this was already posted

Originally posted by wittywonka- Just as it says, win (or draw) as White to capture the board. Win as Black to defend the board. (you can't defend the board until you have captured it.
Those directions don't make sense for a newcomer...
How do you capture/defend the board?
What do you do to become a challenger/defender?
What do you do as a challenger/defender?
And, what's your favorite color? 😉
- Click on any one of the seiges (note that there are 5 different buttons at the top, for different timeout settings), and at the bottom you can clcik "join the queue"; this puts your name at the bottom of the list of players waiting to take on the defender.
- As challenger, you play White, and try to take the board from the defender, As defender, you are Black, and try to defend the board for as long as possible.
- Blue.

Originally posted by wittywonkaAgreed. I remember reading them after I had joined, and they didn't make sense to me either. Over time I figured out what sieges are from some things people said in the forums. I still haven't tried them out myself.

Originally posted by wittywonkaNo, each siege has only one game going at a time, between the defender, and the latest challenger. All the other players in the queue will have their opportunity to challenge the defender, one at a time, in the order they entered the queue. So, don't expect to start a Siege game anytime soon.
Alright...I'm making progress...so to speak...
I get the idea, but here's one more question...does each challenger play the defender in a separate game?
Or does each challenger make a move that the defender responds to?
