My opponent who will remain un-named sent me the message "one move per day!!,this game has become so boring,please will u move faster than this???". I could not help being amused knowing the number of timeouts I have had.
If one is sitting around then one can afford to move 10 times a day. For some of us, life gets in the way so I cannot afford to move 10 times a day. If one wants a quick game of chess why not play rapid/blitz? That is what I do when I get the chance to play a quick game.
Originally posted by enrico20My advice? Move even slower. If your opponent cannot deal with the concept of time controls and your right to move at your own pace within them, tough. Your opponent should only start games at faster time controls if that is what they want. You clearly have a psychological advantage now. Use it 🙂

Originally posted by enrico20Think of the state of OTB chess before chess clocks. They could take 10 hours to make one move if they wanted to, meanwhile the opponent is slowly pulling out his hair, squirming in his seat slowly going insane waiting for a move.
Can you imagine the uproar if your opponent did this in OTB chess, telling you to move when it was your turn and the clock is ticking? What is the world coming to?

Originally posted by enrico20you could have done a few moves instead of moaning on here. 😀 you are only playing 2 games it cant be that hard to move once a day as you have promised, oh and you have won more games by time out than you have lost.😀

Originally posted by KnightStalker47I made this mistake once, too, until someone brought it up to me.

It is worthwhile for all of us to go back periodically to review our profiles to make sure they still reflect our preferences and tendencies.

Originally posted by KnightStalker47I was moving once per day but that is not acceptable to my opponent hence why he hassled me.
