If you see that your opponent is about to send over a huge attack that might kill you, time it so that his attack will be a counter to one of your attacks. General Tips: - Use countering to your advantage. Chaining, I will cover in detail in the next section. For example, against Ken, if you see an attack of 10 or so, you might want to break a 2x2 power gem if possible so that you can get just a shower of red gems, instead of some green being added to it. Advanced players even use this technique to control the amount of counter gems they get. This may not sound like a good idea, but when the amount you'll receive will instantly kill you (say, 60+), you certainly want to counter as much as you can. Basically, you need about twice the amount to cancel out the attack that's being given to you. If you break a certain amount, let's say enough to normally send over 10 to your opponent, the attack you receive will be 15. If you want to, you can 'counter' this attack or at least soften the blow by breaking your gems. Now, sometimes when you're playing you'll see the attack that's about to happen (you see the number and the warning message on the top). Use this to your advantage when you're near the top and need breathing room and you get a same color crash gem/ normal gem piece, use it to clear some space. The counter gems can be broken prematurely, though when a crash gem or a normal gem is broken right beside it, it will break. When it reaches zero, it becomes a regular gem. These gems will count down each time that you drop a piece. These are the blocks with the numbers inside. So anyway, when you break gems and attack, you'll send a number of 'counter gems' to your opponent. And second, sometimes, it'll force you to destroy a certain color because there aren't any other colors you can destroy (I can hear all you master chain gurus groan right now) and it screws up a planned attack sometimes. I'm guessing that it counts it as if it wasn't a power gem, but just a bunch of regular gems. I once had a 2x10 power gem that I was forced to destroy with the Diamond instead of the usual 40-60 that it would send over, it just sent over about 25.

Why would you get really angry at it? First of all, if you destroy a power gem with a Diamond, it'll do much less damage. It will destroy whatever color it ends up on top of. The Diamond gem, which occasionally will appear and make you either really happy or really angry, destroys all of one color on your playing field. When you make a rectangle shape with your regular gems, they are 'power gems' that end up sending a more powerful attack (4 separate regular gems would do an attack of 4 on the other side, while a 2x2 power gem does about 8). Crash gems are the circle-shaped gems that come down, and when you put a crash gem next to a gem of the same color, all of the same-color gems will break and send an 'attack' over to your opponent. To do this, you have to break gems with your crash gems. YES NOColumn 4 (the fourth from the left), which gives you the victory for that round.
