A friend of mine had this idea :
why not give us the possibility to create a faster game, I know it's correspondence chess, but still...
So, a game with only timebank...
Let's say 12 hours or 24 hours, so you know the game will be finished in a day or two days.
Just an idea...
There are, after all, tournements with timebank games only.

Not getting enough timeouts on 1/0 games?

Maybe we can talk about the idea, isn't that the point of this forum...?
Or are all forums just about calling names and banter, because then I'm just wasting my time.

As you rightly acknowledge, this is a correspondence style chess site. I would actually advocate for the opposite of your suggestion and scrap the 1-day time control. - Reduce the necessity of speed and likelihood of timeouts and encourage study and development.

If speed is your bag, play live chess.

This would put the site on the road to becoming something like the lichess site, which is an interesting thought.

I've always thought the blitz site here was mis-named, as the time control is very flexible, and two people wanting to play an online real-time game at a slower single time control could easily do so. I have considered having my real world club use it as a nice remote playing site. It could even be used for lessons/training.

Lots of possibilities!

The blitz chess feature will be replaced with something a little more substantial.

I'm currently, among other things, trying to find a suitable replacement technology to build upon for realtime chess.

@Steelcat
hugely agree ... its frustrating to put a 1 day + 0 TB game out there & someone picks
it up, someone who is moving 1x / 24 hrs ! ... why do these slugs want to clog up these games ?

@elassasino

Exactly my point, 0/24 is slower then real time and totaly different from blitz, in fact for me still correspondance chess and those who want to play 21/28 games can still do so...

She has a point.
Only timebank games as an option when you are creating an open challenge.
The only way to get those games right now is in a hardcore tournament and they are always 0/21 days
I think 0/7 days would be interesting and still have plenty of time to study if you wanted to.

I can find realtime chess on lots of other sites. What I would like is correspondence games that would end within an agreed period of time. Something that could be done with games with timebank only.
