Originally posted by Timothy2005That's not really fair, and there is no call to insult novices to the site. Even here it is possible, if unlikely, that a game could finish in a day. Sasksmith18's only real mistake is to post this in the chess forum where the 'meet opponents' forum would be more suitable. Games rarely take more than a couple of months to end. It depends on the person you're playing. Often you'll get two or three moves a day which makes a fortnight the game turnover rate - although I have had games last much longer.
