Re: Brandubh at Dublin(Ohio) Irish Festival
Ik heb twee Nederlandse vrienden and zij me leerde een beetje Nederlands een jaar geleden dus ik spreek genoeg voor meest simpel dingetjes. :P I understood that. Netherlands is a strange place to a Dane, because the language is like some kind of Danish written and spoken in a very strange way. Afte...

Re: Brandubh at Dublin(Ohio) Irish Festival
Very good! I'm sure not many Americans could've said this. The family name is correct, and the Dutch pronounciation perfect; I know Dutch from an exchange student job in Delft once, and you must have Dutch roots.Tuireann wrote:[About as close as I can get leveraging my Dutch gutterals

The name does not exist in any other language. Pronounced as three vowels and no consonants.Tuireann wrote:Also, how the hell is your name pronounced, Aage ???

Went to Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin, Ohio. Thanks!!! A most interesting report. the teacher; Father Stephen Hayes. ... his rule set for Brandubh was a little different than what we play here in that it was lacking a few details and had a strong king. He played a throne that was not hostile and ...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Many Copenhagen players find Historical Hnefatafl difficult and vice versa. So as to not exclude too many skilled Copenhagen players from the final because they're having a hard time with the Hist.Hnef., it could be wise to widen the door a bit and allow 8 players to the final, 2 players from each o...

Re: Tawlbwrdd 11x11
Two more test tournaments of the two Tawlbwrdd setups were done to find a best choice for the World Tafl Federation Championship Tournament 2016 round 1. Both setups were found to work all right, the game balances being -1.13 and -1.17, and both setups gave many good games. I went through all the ga...

Re: General rules
When playing a pair of games white/black & black/white simultaneously, it's theoretically possible for a lower rated player to copy all the higher rated player's moves for his own moves. To avoid any risk or suspicion of that, when playing against higher rated players I usually as a common courtesy ...

I used Ard Ri and Tablut for demo and gave them printouts of other variant ru...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Could be done this way: If the 2015 tournament with 23 players had run by these rules, there would've been these three preliminary groups: adam, sqaree, steiger, epoc, vonraider, imaxuncut, patterson altti, animals, duhawk93, arevidar, sybil, mykle, dansuno, xerxes docbullen, crust, mmagari, kratze...
