wrong personal invitations[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

@Aurelian

Please note that the pair of personal invitations you gave me recently 

Modern+Chess&log=-Vernon+Parton-2019-159-445

Symmetric+Chess&log=-Vernon+Parton-2019-159-446

were wrongly addressed to a Game Courier user that does not exist: carlos cetina (with lowercase initial letters).

I am registered as Carlos Cetina (with uppercase initial letters) and userID: sissa.

Such logs are not listed in my "Your Games on Game Courier" page.

Now then, regardless of this random fact, I'm sorry to tell you that I'm currently focused on promoting the Symmetric Chess only; and, for reasons of time and energy savings both physical and mental, I have decided not to play other variants except those included in the current tournament.

So my dear friend, send me all the invitations you want as long as they be of Symmetric Chess!!!

Today, five years after having released this variant, it’s opportune to recapitulate what has happened and make a sort of balance.

There are 119 finished games recorded in the Game Courier database, of which 114 are games that I played with different opponents, while the remaining 5 were played by other people (although some of these 5 are plaged with illegal moves).

1 Сергей Бугаевский – per hommerberg [per31-cvgameroom-2018-230-424]

2 Сергей Бугаевский – per hommerberg [per31-cvgameroom-2018-230-425]

4 per hommerberg – Play Tester [per31-cvgameroom-2018-247-532]

5 per hommerberg – Aurelian Florea [per31-cvgameroom-2018-342-417]

In view of the little interest that there is in chess variants, I would say that 119 games in 5 years is not so bad; they are almost 24 per year, that is, 1 every 15 days!

Anyway, in order to attract more fans I just created a channel on YouTube where I will regularly upload videos showing games that have been played here in Game Courier so that viewers can easily and conveniently see in a few minutes the full development of a game. For optimal viewing I recommend see them in full screen mode. I have started with the first two games of the long and endless match that I have with my dear friend Kevin Pacey.

Hello Greg.

Please sign me in at the event. Certainly Symmetric Chess is the variant that I would propose as my favorite.

Thanks for the organization!

There is no doubt that this case is totally atypical and very difficult to solve!

Why do not you try to create another account here in Game Courier with a different username and email? You could also create an email account in Yahoo.


Carlos Cetina wrote on Wed, Aug 15, 2018 03:54 PM UTC:

You do not need to have an account there to send an email to someone who does have an account.

I'm waiting for you to accept the invitation for playing Chess that sent you almost two hours ago and make your first move.

There's really little I can do to help you, so let's wait for Fergus' response.


Carlos Cetina wrote on Wed, Aug 15, 2018 02:46 PM UTC:

OK, then let's wait for his answer. Why did not you send it to his yahoo account?


Carlos Cetina wrote on Wed, Aug 15, 2018 01:54 PM UTC:

Did you already send Fergus the screencast of what you are doing to his yahoo email he requested?

I will send you another invitation for playing Chess and again please choose white side and try to make your first move.

 


Carlos Cetina wrote on Wed, Aug 15, 2018 01:27 PM UTC:

First of all, you should stop accepting open invitations until you have learned the proper functioning of making moves in Game Courier.

By other part, what happens in your Opulent Chess game versus Greg? Why do not you make there the second move, if you could already do the first?

Why did you take the black side in the invitation I made you to play standard chess, if I asked you to take the white side?

 


Carlos Cetina wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 07:50 PM UTC:

Please do not accept my invitations for playing Symmetric Chess.


Carlos Cetina wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 07:35 PM UTC:

I believe that the Russian user named  Сергей Бугаевский is boycotting the open invitations since he accepts them all indiscriminately choosing to always drive the black side and after the first player makes his move he never responds. I suggest forbidding him access to Game Courier.

Congratulations Vitya for such an overwhelming victory!

Thanks Greg for organizing the event. I enjoyed it greatly. There will be a 2018 edition?

I would not doubt that Alpha Zero could be invincible playing this variant, which would be something very good for simple defective mortals like us; it would be great if we could use it to spend some of our free time trying to beat it.

With the advent of mobile devices and thanks to Fergus' masterpiece, Game Courier, it is now possible for two people to play face-to-face a game of this variant, each of them seeing the board in their respective device.

Me neither get email alerts from this website since some time ago (don't remember exactly from when, 3 or 4 weeks). It would be useful to know if there are more people who are experiencing the same thing.

There is a bug that prevents comments made when launching an open invitation to be displayed. 

I have just issued this open invitation with this comment: "Asymmetric version". But, as you can check, it does not appear on the page where players must decide whether to accept it or not.
