My dear Goombah, as one of the proponents of the 1 minute move, I can say that it does make a difference in many ways. The most important one is psychologically it is forcing those S....L....O....W....players to pay attention to the clock. The second most important reason is that you save 4 minutes per occurrence when they do not play and get put on the clock. Tournaments are supposed to be fun and challenging. They had gotten to be less fun with the SLOWS and the only challenge was whether or not you would make the next tournament. Remember, there were plenty of tournaments that you were in the finals when the next one started. That doesn't seem to happen as much anymore. I for one applaud the changing of the limit and hope that those who are still taking more than half that time for each move realize that someone is trying to tell them something. Good cards to all.

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.
