If you're playing a load of games and losing, your opponent will make a new move multiple times a day, but if you have a good position in all the games you're playing you're lucky to get one move a day?
Guess I better subscribe, I need my fix. Plus I won't have to hear "SAY SOMETHING!" "WHAAAAAT?" again.
On the other hand, I could use my time off work to redecorate the house. Er.... nah.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundTrue, but for example I was away in Manchester for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, and I only intended to stay for a day. So, I need that timebank because I don't know what's gonna happen.

All i'm saying is, that 1/na is the standard non-sub "get loads of games in" time out of choice.
Maybe you could have half and half between 1/na, and 3/7 ? That way you would have the best of both worlds ?
ive noticed since I got to 1700s a lot of ppl will resign when they know they cant win, if your down a key piece and positioning most will resign. I think sometimes its kinda insulting when ppl dont. Plus its demoralizing to have a bunch of losing games going at the same time. People! Resign hopeless game! Focus your energy on the ones you have a chance on!
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundProbably the best idea. Only, recently I've been accepting games, not setting em - my bad.
3/na ?

Regarding resigning a hopeless game though, if I was a quitter I would have resigned this after three moves:
Game 2848260
But AH YEAH, I came through!
If I was playing a 1700 player I probably would have the courtesy to resign, though.
