    Is he not moving quickly enough for you? 😉

    Well I thought clocks were meant to be used in "Blitz" chess and our match is anything but a "Blitzkrieg". 😀

    Why don't you end it? I may have asked you before but... why don't you?

    Like GBS, I had a game with Trevor that only recently concluded, and at times he was 100 days over the time limit.

    I don't claim wins against regular forum posters. (In a Clan game I would claim the win immediately). As it was, Trevor and I had an enjoyable game and he got a well-deserved draw.

    We have now started another one. (2022 here we come).

    I suppose I would have asked myself: Why doesn't he move in our game? What keeps him from doing it?

    I can compare with a missing phonecall from a boyfriend: Why doesn't he call? It would only take a few minutes. 🙂

    Trev always moved eventually. That was good enough for me.

    And I refuse to believe old boyfriends never called you. 😀

    There is nothing as silent as a phone that doesn't ring when expected. 🙂

    Stop waiting for the phone to Ring and then by suprise it will actually ring. Ever wait for 1 minute to pass by? Seems it takes forever, of course it is only a minute but you are waiting for it. Seems longer for some reason.

    I have begun to expect infrequent "phone calls" from Trev but when I do get one a big smile forms on my mouth...kinda like this. 😀

    This was so long ago but I still remember the feeling when I finally understood there would be no call. I knew.

    For some it takes a wee bit longer because, "hope springs eternal". I am like that...an optimist.

    I'd never wait for the phone to ring, but then that is me. I figure if the person isn't calling they are telling you a lot by not calling or saying anything. I don't have time for people like that in my life!

    Appears it wasn't a two way street though.
