i love this game and realize i will never make a 1700 rating, but im quite happy plodding along and admire watching the top seed players. mr aleman is a genius and you cannot take away what he does best.but why do nearly all the top players prefer the quick fire games. they are odviously great players but you have to ask the question does the quest for quick points materialize over the enjoyment, YOU ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER

Very kind of you to call me a genius, but i would not go that far - i have too many bad games for that! I've got a BCF grade of 178 but thats nowhere near master level. I play longer games in real life but enjoy the entertainment of 1/0 and the quick thinking involved. If i played say 5/0 i predict my rating to be about 2100.

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.
