The letters next to my games stand for...?

Post by bleep69 »

Hi,

Would anyone be able to tell me what the letters next to the games in my"games" list stand for?

I have "T", which is teaching, but there are also "R" and "D". I assume R = Rated, but that's the only game I play, so what does the "D" stand for?

Also, some of the games have my or the opponents name again in brackets, as below... What's that about?

Thanks for any help.

Hmmm. I can't post the image for some reason, here's a link if anyone is bothered. :)

2 = Rengo, two or more players per side (no effect on ranking)
R = Rated game, these will affect your ranking so that you can set handicaps correct
F = Free game, these won't affect your ranking
T = Teaching, players can see observer comments (no effect on ranking)
D = Demo, leader can put stones on board; can give control to other observers

Link doesn't work. It's [img]url[/img]

Thanks Toge.

I tried with "URL=" originally, didn't work either. I've put it back now, so hopefully all will be well.

Also note that these letters change for some translations of KGS. The letters that Toge gave are correct for English.
