Czuch Chuckers: And that is one of the things that I think my suggestion will do. Allow people that are lower rated a chance to win some BK Brains in a tournament that has stronger players. Some games will get more players simply because a weaker player has a chance against the stronger players. Chess versus Backgammon shows this quite well. If it was more widely played Dark Chess would tend to draw as Backgammon since a newer player can actually defeat an experienced player such as myself. That never happens in regular Chess. Regular Chess at least has a lot of players. It's main drawback is the use of machines to make the moves. Again Backgammon and Dark Chess will not have the same problem as regular Chess in this regard either. Though it appears that there are very good Backgammon playing machines, it still gets down to a little luck each game and this can help the lower rated player have a chance. With the rake so high a lower rated player might figure he can't take first or second place but has a shot at third, fourth, or fifth. The lower positions don't pay as much, but they are easier to win. If there's more money to go around the creator can add more places to pay winners if his tournament gets enough players to enter.
