Thanks for the nice review :) I'd ...Hi there,<br /><br />Thanks for the nice review :) I'd like to respond to a few of the points that you made, just to give my perspective on them.<br /><br />1) You are right that there are a lot of beginners and intermediate players on the site, but there are also a few very good players. The problem is that the novices outnumber the experts, and the experts mainly play amongst themselves. One of the reasons for this is that the very good players don't want to risk losing too many rating points to an unknown low-ranked player. The situation has started to improve over the last month as games against new members do not lose you any rating points if you lose. As the site evolves there will be more and more advanced players and we'll be a world class site.<br /><br />2) There are a lot of features that you get for subscribing, but they're not all listed in one place so aren't necessarily obvious that they even exist. There are new features regularly in the works so the deal for subscribers gets better all the time. Also the subscription fee is very low compared to other sites, and I'm committed to keeping it low for as long as possible.<br /><br />Hopefully one day you'll come back and play a few more games with us, it would be great to see you again.<br /><br />Incidentally based on your screen shot I managed to find the game you discussed by using various subscriber-only features ;)SteRobsonhttp://plasticbishop.comnoreply@blogger.com
