I have a big young family-- being a parent is hard work, but I enjoy relaxing with the help of my love of chess. Given my young family, I rarely play games with less than 3 days of moves AND time banks. I often move more than once on weekdays, but less so on the weekend.
...and did i mention that i claim skulls? I'm happy to play things out, but the time controls (time/move and time bank) are a contract. If a game's time controls are too short for you, delete it before making 2 moves. If you time out, don't complain when people claim your skull.

Coincidentally named after the famous band although you have to have 250 shows on tape to join. Actually that's not true. But after a year in this club you will have 250 shows, if you want them, and if haven't got them already.
