Don't know what anyone else thinks, but I always feel a bit guilty when I take a skull! Yes, it's within the rules, chess is a game of tactics as well as time management, but I ask myself why do I play RHP? Is it to enjoy playing chess, to learn, to improve, to have a good chat, or is it just to improve my rating? Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking anyone who takes skulls (I do it myself), but I just feel slightly guilty afterwards! Anyone know what I'm saying?!

And without skulls, I would be without my most lethal weapon in chess 😞

I've left skulls on my list for months hoping people would come back to the site but eventually had to take them anyways, figuring they were gone for good.
In clan games, however, I was a lot more bloodthirsty. 😀

Don't know what anyone else thinks!
that's right, i really enjoy it...
the only issue i have to consider,
iz the tool i will use, then employ it...
my handy mace iz often the first,
and the broadsword comes in next...
i'd stick them suckers, way up onna pike,
but i like to see them bones get wrecked...
just put yer head, right there on the block,
and let me take yer cap...
i promise that this won't hurt a bit,
all you crowd, step back now, here comes a hell of a splat...
GUILT???
really???
hmmmm...

First flash of bone and it's gone. Crushed. I don't have any guilt, as time constraints are all part of the game.
Generally, you will usually see a skull when you have the winning adge and the other person is dreally dragging thegame out. In this case I really love crushing that skull thing!
