our top rated player in the Chessaroos participated in a game amongst other clan members of our clan, the ratings varied dramatically, he enjoyed it...Yes ...[text shortened]... s a team player along side other members, without the attitude he is too good to be anti social.
I know it wont effect peoples personal rating.
I think that, in general:
Lower rated players play alot of games and move very fast.
Higher rated players play less games and often take some time to analyse befor making a move.
So what i forsee happening is that higher rated players put some time in a move, think of a plan of attack or defense or whatever. Next its a lower rated players turn to move. With a single move the whole tactics the higher rated developped is crushed. In other words, he wasted his time.
And i think most players dont like to waste thier time. (This has nothing to do with being anti social).
There is a solution to this however. Something were clanmembers can also play as a team. They dont move individually in the same game tho, they move all together. One move on which the whole team agrees to play by consulting in the private forum. You guessed it; they are called consultation games.
