    But from the point where a game starts, the conditions should be the same between a sub and a non-sub.
    Hear hear!

    I disagree, if I want to use my vacation time, why because I am playing non-sub should I not be able to? Not all things are equal unless you are both subs, as it should be!

    Well if you feel justified in paying to have a longer timebank than your opponent, carry on.
    Don't play me though.

    Thinking times are a part of a game. The game should be the same for all members to be fair.
    What about the rule of en passant? Same for everyone. Castling rights? Same for all. So should the vacation right be: Same for everyone.
    But this is just my opinion. I'm not going to fight this. That the non-subs must do. Not me.
    ..making this to be the last posting in this matter.

    You are comparing apples and oranges. En passant and castling are rules of the game.

    Being able to use Vacation time, is something we get for being a paying subscriber to the site. I think it would be unfair to ask me not to use my vacation time, if I needed it, simply because I was playing a non-sub.

    So you are happy to use an advantage that is yours purely financially?

    I would propose that these "adjourned games" not count towards the 6 board limit during the time they are adjourned. It would be kind of like baseball's disabled lists which allow teams to bring in another player to fill the roster spot. There o agree to drop a game rather than sit through a lengthy "vacation" or "adjournment"

    I am happy to have the option if I need the time for what ever reason, to be able to use my vacation flag.

    So is to use the time to think. (a rule of chess.)

    As a sub I can use 36 days to think more than the alotted time for the game. A non-sub how much?

    Who is the apple, who is the pear?

    Many subs only play subs, many non-subs only play non subs.

    Many subs are honest and will say if or when they plan to vacation... or promise to keep a non-sub's game moving.

    Subs pay and have a feature of 36 extra days each year. If a non-sub wants vacation, or more games than 6 at a time, they can shell out money for a great service.

    They are also welcome to play for free.

    Nuff said.
