I did a quick search on discussion forums about Prime and cane across: "We're planning on adding more features to Prime, feel free to post suggestions in the Suggestions for Software forum. We want this to be a useful service." I think that Prime should have a non robot area of play. Every time I log on, almost everyone is playing either singly (mostly) or with a partner (rarely) against robots. I find that playing with or against robots is counter productive and would much rather play against humans. I saw nothing in the description indicating that the purpose of Prime was for people to practice with Robots. So my suggestions is to have a Human Only section.

I joined yesterday and find that there is a distinct lack of games to join. It seems like there are usually only 6 or 7 tables and most have one player and 3 robots. I guess that there must be a significant number of people who are members and want to play. It seems like a chicken or egg problem. Nobody wants to join when there aren't enough people to play. So nobody joins and as result there aren't enough people to play. I didn't find any instructions and so started a table. I reserved a seat for myself but left the other seats open. If I were to populate them with robots, could no one else join? Is that why there are so many tables with one member and three robots. I guess that robots are minimally all right for practice, but I don't think that they provide an accurate indication of performance and so prefer human partners and opponents.

I am looking for an online partner. I consider myself an intermediate. I want to learn 2/1 after playing SAYC. Pretty much KISS. I am on EST. Let me know. JNQ
