    I would need a miracle from God Himself for that to happen to me. My record on a chess website is just not all that important to me, given the vast numbers of other, more important things in my life. I'm not exactly going to be losing any sleep over it.

    I suspect that #3 is the most significant, but the other two certainly help. But good luck to anyone who has more exciting things to do in their lives. 😀

    I suspect people who have played hundreds of games and yet have zero timeouts are probably people with no other interests in life and no other way to spend their time, i.e. no family or friends. They're also the people who agree to a game with a 7 day timeout and then pester you almost every day about moving.
    Quite a lot of assumptions made here...

    I can identify with number three.

    I might have a touch of OCD but I just like to check
    that things are right and proper. I have little
    idiosyncrasies that people might say are odd
    but hen that's just me.

    Don't get me wrong though, If I was in a relationship,
    which I am not , I would not be a control freak in that
    area.

    I only want to control certain aspects of my life.
    I'm not looking to control any women. They can
    go and do whatever they want. I would expect
    loyalty but I wouldn't be ringing her up every
    10 minutes to discover their location or plans.

    You're correct that NEVER HAPPENS!!! 😉

    Yes, & I can see the why! 😉 😉

    Why bother starting the game, if all you plan on doing is timing out? It is not only a waste of your time, but that of your opponent. Winning games by time out are not all that much fun for me anyways!

    EXCEPTION: IF it is a clan game then it becomes A LOT OF FUN!!! 😉 😉
