Greetings. I am a Finanical Advisor in the Denver, Colorado area and I am formerly Gameplayer from Caissa.com. Now, I get my chess fix right here. I generally make moves daily, sometimes multiple times a day. However, there are occasional times where I will go 2 or 3 days without moving, so I prefer 3 day timeouts. I show my opponents respect by not making them wait on me, and I expect them to do the same. Therefore, I claim timeout wins unless there is a compelling reason not to do so.
