If you want to play quickly, play blitz. This type of site is designed for long games and the application of actual thought.

I think I know what the OP is talking about, when it's huge gaps between moves, you've to study the position each and every time. I prefer going burst of moves with an opponent when both of us are online.
EDIT: oh, and I did play a flew blitz games....two spectacular wins....two horrific losses...

Originally posted by c guy1Gotta admit, I totally know what you mean. Not so much when the game is developed, but when it's taken a month for them to make their first five moves, and I know they're moving in other games, I just wish the game would go away. I'm not a "they need to move every day" type, but it gets extreme. I like to be able to remember the game a little bit, get in the flow of it, even if it is every three days to move. I had a game recently where they played almost fifty moves with two knights against my lone king, and they rejected my draw offers, until finally they offered me a draw. More than once I was counting down the minutes for the skull to appear, and it never did...
So I woke up this morning, expecting about 4 skulls (my opponents had not moved in an eternity and I just wanted the games to be over with)...however it seems they have moved....
it was going to be the highlight of my day:'(
