 Subject: Number of games that can be played at onceMessage: Why has the number of games that non paying members can play at the same time been reduced from 40 to 20?? Are GameKnot trying to get rid of all non paying members??? If so can THEY tell us of another site where we will be welcomed to play!!! |
| mormel12 3/04/2004 00:27:07 [ report this post ] | i even didn't know Message: mike had put it up to 40:) as i recall it always was 20 games. never mind. greetings |
| kezzerdrix 3/04/2004 05:03:40 [ report this post ] | Message: It used to be 40. Now they have changed it to 20, I think over the night. Gameknot is no longer the best chesssite on the web for nonpayingmembers |
| gameknot_com 3/04/2004 08:57:06 [ report this post ] | Message: Actually, the limit was set at 20 games since December 2002, and we've been effectively "grandfathering" all users registered on GameKnot before that date for over a year now... |
| coyotefan 3/04/2004 13:38:21 [ report this post ] | niloc, kezzerdrix Message: I have checked out many of the other sites. I have not found any better to non-payers. Most limit to 6 games, non-rated, and no tourneys. Have you found any different? The reason I ask is I would love to find a site to "freeload" now that I am taking GK serious, I would love a site to play very fast games tht blunders do not matter to me. |

| johnstar 3/04/2004 15:25:20 [ report this post ] | limits Message: its your turn limits you to 20 games and 25 moves per day. why not join here as a paying member, it is worth every cent you invest |

| coyotefan 3/04/2004 15:56:43 [ report this post ] | I am a paying member here Message: I am looking for a different site that I can play for free, and not care. I care too much about GK to not play full tilt. |
| honololou 3/04/2004 17:25:12 [ report this post ] | why� Message: would you want to play and not care? |
| coyotefan 3/04/2004 17:56:16 [ report this post ] | At work Message: I work midnight shift and used to use GK to pass time at work. No Database, no books, no notes, just quick moves. I do not play GK at work anymore. |
| transdromeda 3/04/2004 18:29:46 [ report this post ] | Losing friends Message: Ive been playing around thirty games and now all of a sudden im losing games against people i percieve as friends. I cant afford 5$ a month believe it or not. and if you were grandfathering, why did you suddenly stop? |
| premium_steve 3/05/2004 11:16:15 [ report this post ] | Message: i love gameknot anyway.... maybe this 20-game limitation will make me look longer and harder at my moves. 20 games is enough for me. it's a bit strange for life-time members, though, i think - to reduce their max games if you previously state "ok pay your fee, then you are a member for life"... but i guess that is the risk you take with internet things. maybe i shouldn't say anything, though, since i am a non-paying member and some people seem to think non-payers deserve no voice at all. |

Message: <<it's a bit strange for life-time members, though, i think - to reduce their max games if you previously state "ok pay your fee, then you are a member for life"... >> I do not think anything was reduced for lifetime members or any members that continue their membership without lapse. At least that is the way I understand it. Even if I understand it wrong, I am a lifetime member with plenty to keep me busy here on GK. I do not feel I have lost a thing. |
| premium_steve 3/05/2004 11:38:07 [ report this post ] | Message: umm... sorry. i think you are right, and i read the details wrong. the new max games is there for yearly memberships. and i'm sorry about my last sentence from that post too. probably only directed at one person, and it shouldn't be brought up here. |
| kai_sim 3/05/2004 15:33:25 [ report this post ] | argh Message: it does not make sense to me to set ANY max games count for paying members at all. kai |
| coyotefan 3/05/2004 21:56:12 [ report this post ] | I agree Message: But it is Mike's site, so he can do with it as he wishes. As long as he leaves my max games alone, I will be fine. |

| alice02 3/09/2004 02:12:03 [ report this post ] | chessanytime Message: It doesn't have nearly as many features as GameKnot but you can observe time limited games. You can select the games you want to watch on the basis of rating of players.You can also play in real time eg 3 mins - I was slaughtered - or 20 mins and the game has to be completed in 20 mins. |
