Another winning round for MFO
Tuesday - July 27 - 10 | buti_oxa

MFO1600 swept their opponent in style: 4-0. For MFO1800, it was very close. Here's how close it was:

Click to analyze

In this position from gile-whis game (rare case of two 4-letter names), Whis who was playing white had 43. Rc6!, making f4 a mate. If he did that, all gile's work would be wasted. He missed, the game ended a draw, and MFO got a win.

SamuraiGoroh(1618) whispers:

that was close

After first three rounds
Tuesday - July 20 - 10 | buti_oxa

MFO_UltimatePatzers are doing surprizingly great given their low rating. They did not lost a match yet with two draws and a win. That puts them at third place in the standings.

MFO1600 continue rocking with two wins and a draw. They are in the second place currenlty. But, they lost a body - jabONE is MIA. (If not for that, I would expect three wins.)

MFO1600 CHAMPION

Hi buti, call me waste of web resource or anything. I cannot help to create this new topic

 

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE WIN

Another game viewer - please test.
Monday - May 31 - 10 | buti_oxa

That is something I wanted to do for years...

MFO games have comments to allow opponents talk to each other. A line or two per move max was expected, if any, so there was no need to make the comment window big. Here's the classical example.

Then, the same code was reused for posted games. The idea was to post the game, then edit it to add your comments. Here's an example of that. I copied the comments from somewhere.

Next, I allowed the comments in the input PGN, and that opened the door for Mekk's bot games. Those games have a lot of whispers, and the comment window is definitely not big enough for that. I made is as big as I could w/o breaking other applications, but it was not enough. Because of the small window height, I strip line breaks that Mekk's PGN contains. That makes the text fit better, but ruins the readability.

It was time for another viewer, designed especially to view Mekk's games. The LT-PGN viewer Mekk uses on his site is excellent, but I don't like that the column for comments cannot get wider if I has space on my screen. Plus, I did not want yet another code on the site, so I reused the existing one. Here's how it works.

If you go to posted games forum, you'll notice that latest ahorse game is posted twice. Open the latest post, by me. Press the ExpComm button (below on the right). You get to a page with everything stripped out and comments on the right. Hit right arrow and watch the game. Notice that line breaks are restored. Try different sizes of the browser window - comment window takes as much space as it can.

I have two problems left. First one is old - smiley ruins a comment (see move 3). It does not happen that often, but it is still a bore. I have to investigate this one. Second is urgent - what do I write on the new button? The problem is - the button should not stick out to the right more that the field below. Otherwise, it may break down to the next line on a narrow screen - ugly.

Any ideas?

MFO 1600....... Do I Smell Another Cup?
Sunday - May 30 - 10 | R0bert_Fr0st

What's going on fellas, nice work on the recent games. I've been working in Oakland and San Francisco 24/7 the past week or else i would have watched them. So are we guaranteed first now since ahorse won? Or is Josh's game going to decide it all? Whats the next move/step for us after this TL tourny too as far as team games/competition?

MFO1600 is in the final!
Saturday - May 22 - 10 | samurai goroh

With the current score (2-0), that guarantees us the pass to the final (because we placed 1st, so a tie will make us pass).

This time we have it easy since a draw on the next round will make us co-champions, so is very likely we'll bring back the cup after long time...
Good job everyone ^.^

I proclaim Mekk's games are videos.
Wednesday - February 3 - 10 | buti_oxa

I wanted to automate the process of inserting an excellent Mekk's frame into MFO post, but I did not want to add yet another button to already crowded editor. So, you add the frame the same way you add a video from youtube. Steps:

Floated left div will be inserted into your post. Do I need a border around it maybe? How can I improve the discoverability of this feature?
