New To the site .i accept any challenge and wou...

as if we were face to face and had to play to completion at that particular day and time...i want some complete games and would like to play someone who is up for multiple games in an afternoon or at least one or two complete games right then and there - as in before we get up to do something else IF YOU WISH TO CHALLENGE :challenge the username sirblaze jblaz13@yahoo.com

You might wish to hop over to the blitz section for something a bit faster. Shortest time control here is 1 move per day. But if you keep a look out in the open invites you'll probably come across one or two players who names the games: "quick game move now" or "fast play now" or something like that and they'll be on the look out for the same sort of timing you're after. There's no way of imposing a short time control though so someone could at any time, whatever the position, drop back to a move a day.

Occasionally you get a player in a lost position who will play as slow as the time control allows... maybe hoping you'll die or go on holiday so they can claim the points. But if you die you're ratings going to fall anyway and nowadays you can book a holiday so you don't get timed out while you're gone.

Oh and welcome to the site...ignore Mr Smaug he's habitually rude to newcomers but is a perfect gentleman when you get to know him.

If I was a subscriber I woulda rec'd that at least twice lol

Smaug 1 Mahout 0 ...have updated my self proclaimed title accordingly.

An explicit game name "whole game now" in an Open Invite usually works - and if you get a prankster who disappears after one or two moves you can delete the game without penalty.

yeah, people might just have a heart attack at the board or be poisoned before the end of the timeframe. I hate people who do that.
And "Mr Smaug"?🙂

Fast time controls (1 0) helps, but I have the feeling that slow movers play on purpose slow against that "please finnish now" ads. I did it myself a few times and my opponents would log out on move three 🙂

I've adopted a style of passively ignoring him.
i.e. talking to him now, just so I can blatantly ignore whatever he might say in response.
