Wel, with such an intelligent retort, obviously you're right and taking the higher ground. No I guess taking the high ground would've involved making some huge post citing all the jerky stuff he said and I didn't want to hijack your thread with all that, also I'm not here for all this bickering, I ...

Are you following me around the forums for every possible opportunity to call me stupid? You show up with something rude every time I post something no matter what or where it is... Following you around the forums, you say? Let's start with this thread, where you've made the accusation. Then consid...

:shock: Have you heard of chess or Go? :? I think this is part of the success of Chess. It's a game with no random element but at the same time there is no easily decipherable path to victory (maybe a computer could figure out a way to always at least draw, but it's beyond us humans).

Even if a game has zero luck, if people generally don't have a good understanding of how to play the game, ...

Draft Mode is so underutilized and underappreciated...it fixes everything here (and almost everything that's not here) with no alterations needed. Anything like the bat strategy, which can be a lot of fun to play but hard to find and therefore ultimately less viable vs stronger themes like deer&...

The analogy that keeps coming to mind is science… there are absolutely brilliant scientists out there, Nobel Prize winners, who can’t communicate their work. Boring to listen to at parties, etc. Then there are the Carl Sagans and Neil deGrasse Tyson’s, who make it all very approachable and interest...

Maybe someone can tell me what I'm missing, because something is really frustrating me and it seems like a no brainer... It takes a while to find a game sometimes, so I start a handful of tables and wait for one to attract attention. Usually if one starts to collect players, I'll start canceling the...
