Originally posted by kill king ok, how long do your games generally last?
Games last as long as people want them too, according to the time out and time bank settings. This is a correspondence site, not a real time chess site.
1) You can disable the move notification emails.
2) If you want to play fast, this is the wrong place for you. I would suggest you try http://www.freechess.org/ though that may be because I've not tried uChess (link in the footer of this page).
