We have improved several skill games:

• BomberMad can be be played with joystick and gamepad now
• We have fixed a bug in the chess computer logic (not moving when being in check)
• When training a game then you have a new "Demo" button next to the "Restart" button which lets you watch a match computer vs computer
• In Invaders X the fire slots are not decreasing anymore

We were again holding several tournaments, and started the first tournaments for Gelats! The winners for the tournaments at this weekend are:

• Poker Gelat tournaments: Viper Vanduergan (ViperZakuto), Stefan
• Poker big tournament: 1. Silver_Metal, 2. Storm Leonhart (StormYs), 3. MajinDragon
• BomberMad: Marius (MegakuribohEXE), Zero (zokemon), Compulsar FairyNightmare (knightmare1)
• Pool 8-Ball: Stefan
• Pool Straight: Wolfey Xanadu (Wolfey)

Players were also hunting for highscores, here the scores of the best players:

• Mahjongg: 86035 by Burn (dNeonb)
• Marble Flip: 33795 by Burn (dNeonb)
• Marble Maze: 2200 by Zero (zokemon)
• Asteroids: 50560 by Burn (dNeonb)
• Invaders X: 6220 by Burn (dNeonb)

We have added a highscore system on Graal Skill games, currently it is tracking the high scores for Mahjongg, Asteroids, Marble Flip and Marble Maze. You can watch the high scores by clicking on "All Games" or by clicking on the game, and scrolling down in the description window. This highscore is not displayed inside the game (Mahjongg sometimes says "new highscore" which is your personal score in the current game but not the online high score).

More tournaments were hold on the Graal Skills server, the winners are this time:

• BomberMad: Stefan (of course!)
• 8-Ball: Burn (Björn)
• Poker: Ziro (xXZiroXx)

Next week we will do more events, we also plan tournaments for Graal Kingdoms items, so check out and prepare for more fun events!

This weekend we will hold several free tournaments and tournaments where you can win Gelats - play Poker, Pool Billiard, BomberMad and more against other players! We have also improved the skill games to make the playing more fun:

• The game window is bigger, we removed the clouds-header
• The tournament announcement PM leads you directly to the tournament list
• When a tournament is added then a blinking link will appear in the Log window for easily joining the tournament
• When inviting a player to a game then it is automatically selecting the best rule for the selected game (Bombermad: 3 Rounds) to make things easier
• You can bet up to 50 gelats in Poker (might be increased later)
• Nicknames are filtered (some special characters being removed) to avoid problems in multiplayer flash games
• Easier navigation with keyboard: 'Space' starts a game, card games automatically select the first button in the start screen, when closing a game then it is automatically focussing the game list
