Can someone explain something to me?

I was just wondering why half the games on this site seem to be 5 minute games. I mean, what kind of game can you have in 5 minutes? I suppose it could be used to improve openings, so I can almost understand it. But what I really don't get are the 1 minute games. There's time for two moves or something...why would you even bother playing? I don't like the concept of timed games at all (I like per-move timing better myself) but I accept them. When you set it down to less than five minutes, though, that's a bit much. Why, I ask you, why!?

Hello Fosterium,
i enjoy a games 5min to 1min when you have been playing for a long time, you begin to move & think faster. Some people just enjoy Blitz games and some enjoy long games...
God Bless,
DRY

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.
