People who think of themselves as intelligent say they prefer games of skill to games of chance, but in fact too little chance can ruin a game. Chess is a game of pure skill, and there are few things more futile and depressing than playing Chess against someone much better than you: at any given point, your opponent can know all your possible next moves, and unless he or she slips up, the better player will stroll to victory. Connect Four is a game of pure skill, too, but the problem is the opposite one: with a bit of forward thinking, it's possible to force every game into a stalemate – so, unless you're drunk, or four years old, or both, you need never lose. –unknown PAST QUOTES
