blitz chess

max 2 minutes a move, 1 hour timebank etc

Sometimes I have to look twice when I read a post because I'm so surprised that it was made by a subscriber. For the most part they are the brighter of the bunch.

Sounds good to me.

This sites sister site www.uchess.com usually provides this - unfortunately it is not working at present but is allegedly returning soon.

Go somewhere else if you want Blitz chess.

This is a correspondence site, not a 'live chess' site.

Some of the slow play is hard to understand - yeah it's a correspondence chess site but as far as I know the reason correspondence chess had so long between moves was to allow for the postal services to deliver the moves - on the internet that is a non-existant reason. I really cant understand why people need 14 [or more] days for 1 move even if they are playing 55 games or whatever. Unless they are restricted to times they can use a computer of course.

Of course. I think the correspondence is just perfect the way it is.

14 days a move is too long for my taste, but I can see how some might enjoy doing very thorough analysis over the course of days, in search of a very high quality game. Personally, I'm much more likely to play 1 move per day. That gives me time to put a decent amount of thought into each and every move, and yet still gets the game done soon enough.

Shoot that aint nothing some of my Blitz games go a week in between moves.😉

Why not play plitz here, then?
Don't mind that you have one entire day to make a move, noone hinder you to move in one minute.
When you've found your mate soul (!), then give it a shot!

Dude, you don't have to be a jerk about it.

This forum, if I am not mistaken, is "site ideas." He had an "idea" for the "site." I don't see a problem with people giving out ideas...
