2013-04-30	Datr	There does appear to be an unhealthy number of players with RD=63. Rauf01 and Dwalt ahve RD=62 today so it would be worth observing them. If they go up to 63 and stay there then there is something wrong. If they continue rising then it may be OK.
2013-04-30	N4pll	I am not picking on you Datr. There are people who haven't player for much longer time. Now your RD is 59. All of the players with ELO above 2200 haven't changed. All RD's that are 63 or higher should be deleted from the tactics rating list.
2013-04-26	Datr	The comment reader doesn't appear to like inequality signs, this is probably why my original message wasn't printed. Player's with RD less than or equal to 100 are shown on the list those with greater RDs are removed.
2013-04-26	Datr	The full message wasn't printed in my previous comment. Here is the missing bit. Once a player's RD reaches 101 they are removed from the list. Are you suggesting this figure is lowered? If so, what to?
2013-04-26	Datr	I am focussing on other aspects of my game at the moment, my Opening repertoire is very weak so I need to improve this, also I am playing more games now and applying the tactics I have learnt on this site. A player's RD increases +1 per day of inactivity. Zuril has set the RD limit to 100. "Player ranking (players with Rating Deviation
2013-04-26	N4pll	Datr's RD is now 54. The top 5 rated ELO players ELO's RD is at least 63 for a month. The top 5 rated players and others should not be on the top tactics rated ELO ranking list. Zuril, the RD is not correct for those who refused the new system of rating in the last few months.
2013-04-14	N4pll	Mate problem 10,145 is a mate in 4 NOT a mate in 10. LOL With the exception of invisible solutions, (next year's) spring cleaning is over. Of course, Zuril has recently made more problems in the last few months (another exception).
2013-04-06	Garykevinware	That would be further proof of how completely subjective this rating system is.
2013-04-06	Datr	I think the RD increases +1 per day when a player is inactive, so 70 days of inactivity.
2013-04-05	N4pll	Mate problem 62096 has an invisible solution. How many days does it take to get your RD from 30 to 100?

2013-03-17	Zuril	Datr: I've fixed the facebook plugin language, thank you!

2013-03-17	Datr	Zuril: Philidor position - Draw in Practice Endgams has some Italian Text on the page that needs translating.

2013-03-10	Zuril	Today I've released on the Android market a new free app with over 17,000 checkmate in 1 move problems: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cisana.ideacheckmate1
2013-03-10	Datr	I have found no mate problems to-date. Things look Ok so far.
2013-03-10	Zuril	I've reanalyzed all mate problems with Stockfish 2.3.1 and now the solutions should be complete
2013-03-10	Datr	Zuril: I have looked at the new Home Page for non-registered players. It looks much more professional. Just three suggestions to consider. 1. I think it is better if text doesn't clash with images so I would move the dark text up one line and move Facebook and Register just below the chess pieces. 2. End Games Training should be Endgame Training 3. Reverse the text order on this screen so that Endgame Training is at the bottom, then the text will then not clash with the images as much.
2013-03-08	Zuril	Datr: added to the list of suggestions for improvements
2013-03-08	Garykevinware	Other players have intentionally missed problems, like yourself!
2013-03-07	Datr	Zuril: When looking at variations there seems to be an automatic time delay, then the variation disappears. This is OK when there are few alternative moves but often there many and one can't read them all before the move list disappears. I think it would be better to keep the display visible until the mouse is moved away or make the time delay longer.
2013-03-06	Zuril	Also with your idea the problem ratings will be inflated anyway when the player start again to solve them. Problem rating will decrease.
2013-03-05	Datr	Another idea to put on the list, possibly. Ric's rating has dropped from around 1600 to 984 in one day. I suspect he has done this intentionally. Other players have done it in the past. Of course this artificially inflates problem ratings. Would it be possible for players to have an option to down grade their ratings without having to get many problems intentionally wrong?
2013-03-05	Zuril	Yes can be implemented I don't know when :-)
2013-03-05	Datr	Zuril: As far as I am aware Drag and Drop is then only way to move pieces on this site. Click and Click is my preferred method of moving pieces. Click on the from and Click on the to square. Could this be implemented at some time?
2013-03-02	Datr	I suppose it doesn't really make any real difference, it will all average out in the end.
2013-03-02	Zuril	I went back to the old rating system because not being able to use the decimal variations are too rounded.
2013-03-01	Datr	The all problems are different because they are also coded with m and t so m12345 is a different problem to t12345, clearly it wouldn't work if they were both just 12345.
2013-03-01	N4pll	Zuril now has 71,747 checkmate problems and the tactics numbers are greater than 100,000. Would it be a lot easier to put checkmate problems from 100,000 to 171,747 so that you have a "one number for all problems"? You have two numbers: one for checkmates and one for tactics. You could start tactics again at 200,000. The old numbered tactics are the same from 1 to 99,999. I do not think you will go for a million problems anytime soon.
