It's odd, but lately, even though I have half a dozen or so chess chess games going simultaneously, none of my opponents plays on Saturday. And it isn't the same set of opponents either (nominally, anyway), over time. Have I stumbled into a Hasidic chess site where chess is off-limits on the Sabbath?

You've heard of Seventh Day Adventists? These are Seventh Day Amish. Six days they have electricity...

Sunday's they're all too hung over to do anything but play on computer?

You fascinate me strangely, Jalapeno Donkey. Nice photo. True, the chin's a bit too strong, and do I really want a woman with a penchant for scatological humor? (No.) Still, there's something there worth salvaging.

My advice, if you have problems with irritating pauses, is to let it play through once without intervention, after which it should be possible to play it through from the beginning as many times as desired, without difficulties.
