I am 28 and used to play chess loads as a kid, it is great to be getting back into it even if i am a touch out of practise!
I rarely take timeouts unless you don't move after multiple reminders or your position is hopeless. I especially won't take them to claim victories i am not due, i don't expect everyone to be that way but hey, i am not an arse hole!
