There is a long story behind it, I will not bother u guys with that, So lets come straight to the point... We all know High ranked players don't play with low/average ranked players because when they win, they get very few points and when they lose, they lose almost double points, so they avoid playing games where they are at a clear disadvantage...


Let me introduce a new idea with u guys...ZE award maximum 10/-10 points for every game, And When the cube is at 16 it will be almost every time 10/-10. Means if u lose u will lose 10 points if you win, you win 10 points...So I reckon this is fair enough for both parties that they LOSE & GET same amount of points.
No draw back of losing more points and getting low points against any low ranked player..


So what we are going to do is to create a new POOL of players. Where all such kind of players will be gathered who want to play such games. Any player who wants to join will post here that he/she is willing to play games with cube at 16.
And after that he/she is allowed to play games with cube at 16 with any existing player or any new joining players.. All they hv to do is to offer cube again and again till its value is at 16 and after that they can play their normal game...Every1 will take the cube at 16 no matter what the condition of the game is..ITS MANDATORY

Before starting any new game mention in comments section "Cube 16 Game".


I hope u understand the new idea...No one is forced to join,it's up on your own will
If any1 has any query I will try to answer, I hope every1 will enjoy playing this


hv fun playing BG

If u open a profile of any player, under the heading of "my personal stats vs" u will see "Rating points change" one value will be positive and one will be negative.
Plus is what you get for winning minus is what you lose on defeat.

Below is the option of "with no cube", change it to "cube value with 16" and plus minus value will also change to 10/-10.


So when the cube is at 16 both players will get the same advantage/disadvantage. Resolving a very big problem.

Frankly speaking I never had any issue with Ratings, I even accept challenge from newly joined players  .I used to play games with my all regulars regardless of their rating.. Usually I was over 200 points on them and I never bothered.. But I have been abandoned by many players when i had a dip in my ratings  

I use to say that there is NO FUN of playing if I don't play with my FRIENDS, but last week I made a blunder due to a challenge and I am sorry for that  .


And I hope after this idea no high ranked player will STOP playing against u   and ur streak will keep going.

WOW ! What an excellent and generous idea ! This sounds like great fun !
Gosh, you are creative with all the lovely new initiatives like the Knock-Out Tournament you are launching at ZE.
I should love to play cube 16 games, although I am not a subscriber and therefore I cannot challenge anybody to a cube game.
Therefore, please let me know,whether you want to play a cube 16 game and I shall be very happy to play it with you !

Let's go for it !
YES ! YES ! YES !

How would this differ from simply playing an unranked game?

In any unranked game u don't get or lose any points on losing or winning...


in this SYSTEM in every game u will get/lose 10 points.   and these points will remain same for both opponent..

Right now my rankiing is 1819..if i play against a 1900 ranked player i will lose 3 and get 6 points and if i play against a 1700 player i will lose 7 and will get only 3...But if I play against both these with cube at 16 I will lose/get 10 and same will get my opponent.
