What happens, when a 2000+ player takes control of the board? The rest of us don't get a shot at winning the board, the only other person who can take the board away from them is another 2000+ player, but then the same thing happens all over again.
Thats not fair! 😠ðŸ˜
Lets send feedback. It would be much better if the losing player takes the board.

Originally posted by MetBierOpI suggest rated boards, such as 1800+ rated boards, 1700-1800, 1600-1700 boards. I think I'll post this in Site Ideas.

Isn't one of the ideas of seiges that you get an opportunity to play the stronger players and the evidence is that such players cannot hold the board indefinately as it only takes a draw to lose it.

Originally posted by Dragon Firetake a look at some of the boards English Tal is playing in the 1/0 sieges, does it look like someone is going to get a draw or win?

Originally posted by Dance Master MCi think someone has a better chance there than anywhere else, all it takes is for him to miss a day by an hour after he move the day before and someone could time him...

Originally posted by DawgHausreally good idea, adds a mental thing to it..someone trying for a record but then seeing someone good coming and steps down the champ..
Yeah, that English Tal guy keeps knocking out guys like me. 😉
What would be nice is an "opt out" feature, wherein you can step away from a Seige board (or the next tourney round) with no game loss or rating loss. That way Seige champions can "retire undefeated".
