Re: Alea Evangelii 19x19
The religious tafl game Alea Evangelii is still a mystery. We've tried everything and anything and nothing worked. On the occasion of Christmas time I'll make another attempt at giving this game some thoughts. Having seen how impossible this game is with conventional rules, perhaps we should travel ...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
This is my bid for an evaluation of the Championship Tournament 2016: My bid will be very similar to last year. What worked well. A month of signing in before the tournament. An Are-You-Sure step in the sign in. That everybody can join. We had again new names, who turned out to be strong players, o...

Re: Berserk Hnefatafl
After this year's World Championship tournament ten players relaxed with a Berserk tournament, and Adam confirmed his position as the number one berserker! The scores are: Adam: 17 pt., Kratzer: 13 pt., Xerxes: 12 pt., Hagbard: 11 pt., Vonraider and Thanir: 10 pt., Fraech: 9 pt., Tuireann and Kaagee...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Championship Tournament 2016 Round 1: RBerenguel and Chalhub did not move at all, never showed up, and were removed from the tournament tables. Teondrae did one move in some games and zero moves in the rest, before timing out in all games, and was also removed from the tournament tables. TheBloodyJ...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
A very accurate, alternative calculation of Round 2 groups. Accurate method for distributing the players to Round 2 groups: One or more "ghostplayers" are added to smaller Round 1 groups, so that all groups will have the same number of players. The "ghostplayers" are given ratings so that all group...

Re: Gaming activity
Having completed 3 of my 4 T cross games I see there are a severe lack of viable openings for white to exploit. Or at least none that I can see. Black seems to have an epic advantage blocking anything white tries to do to get out and create a gap. Yes the game balance was measured -1.60, 160 black ...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
let's say that vonraider loses his remaining 2 games, and remains on 7 points. That's 7 points out of a possible 14, whereas Helfrich has 7 points out of a possible 12. 7/12 is more than 7/14, so it seems to me, in that case, that Helfrich should be favoured. However, if Vonraider wins one of his r...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Your removal of two games wins does not seem 'cricket' to me. It is unfair that I or others in my first round grouping should be penalized because some non-serious entry didn't finish any of his games. That player should not have been 'wiped' from the tourney records either: historical records coun...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Distribution of players to Championship Tournament 2016 Round 2 groups. Players in the small forum are discussing the 2016 Round 2 distribution. Here's a copy of the discussion: 2016-10-04 23:09:51 HELFRICH: Curious that I cannot find myself in any category of the final round, or am i misinterpreti...
