Ladder Question

I wonder when say mr_aleman plays BelfastBishop, what time they use. It seems from the score that it's BFB's 4 minutes. I wonder why mr_aleman doesn't play to his strength at 1 minute?

Each challenged player is entitled to set whatever table timing they desire, however, they may choose to accept the timing that the challenger requests.
Mr Aleman has played 3/0 and 4/0 games against me - that was his choice.
Either way I have always been grateful that he has accepted my challenges.
Im sure he may comment on this.

Until recently i didnt realise about this rule. I have been happy to play Belfast in these slightly longer games, even though so far i have lost. I would have a better chance in 1/0 i expect. We can do this timing if Belfast would be happy to do so

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
