I thought up this idea whilst cursing over someone that accepted one of my invites that said a game played now ....then ran off after making 4 moves.
It would be cool if there was a game function where you had to make a move every half an hour or less and a 1day timebank...and maybe a caption that informs people what they will get themselves into playing a fast movers game like this.
This type of game would then rule out slow movers and encourage live games...i for one like to play live games,but i think i could only be made available to subscribers so's to prevent people from not subscribe due to being able to play one game throughout.
Thoughts Anyone?

It's a good idea - aren't there some 'zero timeout' tournaments that already work like this?

Try http://games.yahoo.com

There are thousands of live games going on there all the time and you can select whatever time control you like. It's free.

i would like more flexiblity in creation of my timeout and timebank.
i would like to be able to do it in hours!!!!! - not just 3 days.
but i do see that new players will be confused about it, and get timed out a lot if they were given a lot of short time choices; especially if they are challenged rather than challenging.
maybe acceptance of a challenge could take a separate screen where the time is right in front of your face.
although i would prefer that - I LIKE IT THE WAY IT IS !
