> I am just wondering about this topic me an a few friends like to play Yuri and try to play in the toury's but where is the real fun about racing to your opponets site and leaving his base before he can even build, honestly I really do not believe westwood made the game for this reason and it hardly seems realistic, but I would like to know what is the big thing about rushing a person and gloating about it, hell I only gloat when I drop a nuke or weather storm

Why did you post this twice?
What you describe is not cheating. If you want to play long games, either play non-tournament games or practise more.
