Originally posted by Positional Playerok, then i'll take 3 weeks to make a move, or lose all my games, go down to 1100, like this one: Game 1748651
It is Correspondence Chess. People have other things to do and many do not log on every day. You cannot expect people to just adapt to what you want.
this player started the game at 1800 and is now 1100?
was making moves in a timely matter, then hasnt moved in a week or so.
I dont buy that its cc chess. Therse some other reason why they wont move. It probaly has to do with the rating system
For example, some player who is using an engine, killed me in 2 games, i waited for their rating to get 200+ points higher then mine, then i resigned just before i was going to time out.
This way of playing,(or not playing!) is just more online minipulation, and i was told by a GM, to forget it, and play some 30 min OTB instead.
He was right.
