Let us help you! The ChessRally 2 Theme Specification is fully detailed in this kit, and comes with sample graphics. NOTE: The kit is not software, but rather documentation on how to create themes. This documentation is very complete, so much so, that at first it is daunting. As long as you need them, absolutely! Yesterday's update was intended to fix a few problems, among which were getting silenced left and right in an undeserved way. Oddly, it actually WAS fixed in yesterday's released, but we accidentally left an important file out of the setup program for the patch, and so it appeared that it wasn't fixed at all.
In today's release, you'll also find it's a bit more stable in other areas. Let us know if you run into any trouble with it! Saturday, August 16, - ChessRally 2. For those of you using the Rally Rooms with yesterday's unofficial release of version 2.

We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience as we get ready for the release of 2. You all are what make this process worthwhile, and we're proud to be a part of something that you, our users, have made truly great.
Friday, August 15, - ChessRally 2. Well, as many of you know, we've been hard at work at ChessRally 2. Since many of you have been looking forward to a number of the features slated for 2. While the list of changes if by far too numerous to mention they will be outlined in detail in the version history for 2. Fixes: Problems with email games resolved.
Problems connecting to the Online Rally Rooms on faster computers is resolved. Problems getting unfairly auto-silenced in the Online Rally Rooms for insanely large periods of time is resolved. Right-clicking on a player name in the Player List gives you a context menu of commonly used commands. Player List can now be sorted by Name, Rating, or Status! Player status in the Player List now shows "Ready" for a player sitting at a table without an opponent.
Friday, July 18, - ChessRally 2. Boy is my face red! Sorry for the delay folks, and I really should have updated the website in the mean time. However, 2. Possibly later, hopefully sooner. The reason for the delay is that we wanted adequate time to pass in order to discover all the issues that needed to be addressed, as well as finding out from all of you what you wanted in new features. Here's a little of what's tentatively planned for 2.
Unfortunately, half the list will never become common knowledge for security reasons, but even half the list is about 50 items or so! In any case, the list has been completed, and we've already got some of it done Wish us well over the next month or so!
Saturday, February 19, - ChessRally 2. This is Phase 1 of the update you all have been waiting for! Phase 2 with the other requested enhancements will be available in 2. For those of you who play Single Player Games against the computer, this update fixes a glitch introduced in version 2. That resulted in pieces appearing out of nowhere!
I apologize for those glitches - we were trying to make the computer "smarter", and changed the way it interfaced with the main game engine, which caused these to happen. In any case, it's fixed now! Also, for Rally Room Players , this is the update that prevents players from exploiting the "Flashing" animation to stall the clock and create unfair "thinking time" in timed games.
The clock now begins counting down as soon as the move is received, so having a long flash count will no longer be an exploit, but a hindrance! The purpose of the Flashing animation was to allow players who might be chatting the opportunity to see the move being made, and it's truly sad that some would exploit this to gain an unfair advantage in timed games.
In any case, not any longer! Also new to the Rally Rooms is an auto-silence mode that temporarily strips chat privileges from players which flood the chat rooms with lines of text.
What you're not seeing in this update, which is still planned for 2. We don't have all the kinks out, but rest assured, 2. This update 2. Saturday, July 11, - ChessRally 2. It's my birthday!! Really, it is I turned the big Three-O today. Well, this year, YOU get the birthday gift, not I. As always, many thanks to our customers, who have been keen to let us know when something's awry. This update contains a fix for a graphics glitch on the Parental Control and Rally Room intro screens.
The glitch only affected users with "Large Fonts" enabled in Windows. This is fairly uncommon The screens mentioned were not properly "scaled" when in Large Fonts mode, so the buttons, text, etc.
In any case, that's fixed in this update, so get it now! Saturday, July 6, - ChessRally 2. If you downloaded ChessRally 2. This latest version fixes a problem which some of our European customers discovered Rating information is not being stored correctly on non-English Windows, and when it gets read back into the game, it's not loading right.
This is because we often use commas to delimit fields of data, so a string of data might look like: "2,JoeSchmoe, In some regional settings, the decimal point. If you noticed, it looks like we have an extra field - and so it gets "read" back into the game with the wrong numbers. In any case, that's fixed now. Thursday, July 4, - ChessRally 2. ChessRally 2. I thank all of you for being so patient while waiting for this build This latest version by far contains the biggest list of changes in any ChessRally 2.

Our very sincere and warmest gratitude to all our wonderful users which contributed to this version by reporting issues. There have been concerns voiced over suspected cheating of the clocks in ChessRally 2. This is not really what's happening. There currently is no way to cheat on time. However, to the untrained eye, the clock might look like something's going on, and so I have posted this complete description of the problem in " Cheating On Time?
Saturday, March 23, - ChessRally 2. On some systems, if that file was a little older than what the full install of ChessRally 2 would install and this new patch also installs , then the updated copy of ChessRally might occasionally crash on those systems.

Thursday, March 14, - ChessRally 2. The ChessRally 2. I apologize for the required download so very soon after the last 1 day! There was a problem with the game's timer in timed games that we didn't know about it until we already released build There were reports of the timer acting "funny", but nothing terribly specific, and we didn't see the problems initially here, so we thought it had to do with the network problems in 2.
In any case, we were able to pinpoint the problem, and it is now fixed, and is required for playing in the Rally Rooms and Direct Network Games so the timers between opponents are guaranteed to be in sync. Wednesday, March 13, - ChessRally 2. There were many other less critical issues resolved as well.
