Read the note entire, it wasn't the timeframe that bothered 'the likes of me', I'm a subscriber and could wait, it was his tactic of making all his moves in one sitting ( in 16games, and most were non subs )...after 12mths it became somewhat 'noticeable' that he'd frequent the site just to calculate what extra time he needed to play all in a few mins...I think this is an abuse of the 'holiday' flag itself ?
i don't even think that's the worst abuse
I recall being a non-sub with my 6 games
I was playing one player who is still active - i won't mention his name just to be polite, and, in truth, he may have grown up some over the past five years or so
anyway, i had him where he moves and the next move is mate
he freezes and doesn't move waiting for the clock to run out
i'm a non-sub, so one of my 6 games is tied up and i only have 5 active games for several weeks
i graciously suggest to him that it's mate after his move and politely ask if he wouldn't mind please making his move as i only had 6 total games to play
he answered that he was near an all time rating peak and that's why he was delaying the move
i saw the stupidity of manipulating ratings and the frustrations of the clock system for non-subs
i joined and got over it
i despise immature clock players
to this day i grab a skull every time one appears
