Celticjim: The smell of victory will bring fast moves; possible defeat long periods of thought; imminent defeat either fast moves or long periods to bore one’s opponent! The latter is a perfectly acceptable strategy, though not necessarily sporting.

One of the great things about this game is the element of psychology. I can’t think of any other online game, other than poker, where this manifests itself to such a degree.

Just like in poker, it pisses the hell out of everyone when you wait until the last second to make your bet. Then emotions come into play, followed by mistakes! And a mistake in poker costs...

Jim, a win today, next week, or next month is still a win. Don’t turn a certainty into an improbability!
