I would say that It's the most intuitive way to make the select/deselect all. But I've also seen some use a link, but i would prefer that.

having a checkbutton that performs an action rather than designate a discrete choice isn't very usable IMO.

Just bring the Select All check box closer to the left border. Perhaps change the text something like "All previous games" etc. to make it clear what "all" is being selected.

I'll be honest, I've never liked the idea of using a checkbox for the "select all" option, even though you see it a lot. It's not a single item to be picked, it's an action. And if you select all and then start unselecting individual items in the list, the "checked" state of the select all checkbox becomes inherently confusing. I prefer to use a simple but obvious link/button that toggles between "select all" and "unselect all" as it is clicked. There is no state to confuse you with when individual items have been deselected, and the outcome of pushing the button is never in doubt. The exclusive nature of the operation makes it perfectly reasonable to toggle back and forth (rather than using two always visible buttons; one for select all, one for unselect all), since you are at most two clicks away from your desired behavior. And it visually separates out this "action" from the individual items, preventing misclicks and distinguishing behavior.

I went with this approach, thanks!

Wow it is cool, thank you. Choosing the right boxes are individually. Wonderful..
