Ornate vs classic pieces

Should the classic pieces be defaulted? I wonder if anyone uses the ornate ones, because the queen and the king look almost the same. Sometimes the site doesn't remember my preferences and I have to change them all over again.
Ornate is much better

This is of course the standard pieces used and i can clearly clarify the difference. I havent tried the classic set up, the pieces looked a bit odd to me

I agree with mr_aleman. Ornate pieces give a nice colour to the game. I prefer ornate. It is more beautiful than the standard classical pieces you see in books and magazines. Ornate definately.
Matter of taste

I prefer classic, but it is merely a matter of personal preference.
I prefer Ornate.

I agree with mr aleman and apolonion. Not only does it look nicer but it is easier to distinquish pieces wich does make a difference in in 1/0 and 2/0 games. Its kinda like comparing black and white t.v.s to colored ones...
4-2

I am used to play with ornate pieces. Its just a habit i think.
A reason to use the ornate pieces: they are more beautiful than the classic one's.
Ornate all day

My guess is more people use the ornate, they look so much more like a real Chess set

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.
