The modern way seems to be 'instant gratification' (maybe that's why the girls are unhappy) anyway, I notice most invites are for 'quick' games; are there still some oldie slow game players out there?

Any challenges from Subscribers to the site and a 21 day time out will be accepted

You would like to find the elusive "slower" players. Yet at the same time you don't appear to be accepting challenges from non-subscribers.

Beggars can't be choosers, as they say.



Anyway, I've been playing a game with an old friend for twenty-three years now. We managed to reach quite an interesting endgame in 1997. Exciting for me as I've had a passed Pawn since 2001.

Maybe because it's late, but that made me LMAO! I never expected at anytime in my life to read a sentence like "... I've had a passed pawn since 2001."

I absolutely *HATE* games with time controls over 3 days!
