Originally posted by Sci Fi Westthis is correspondence chess - your opponent can take as much time as your timeback etc. allow. If you need to wait, play more games 🙂
When players come on-line, why can not they make moves intheir games ? It is annoying to have to wait and wait for a move.

Originally posted by Sci Fi Westperfectly reasonable - some positions are more complicated than others, and require more thought. For example, openings are completely automatic for those that know them.
but to see that they are making moves and not come to your game...

Start games with a 1 day timeout zero timebank for faster games.
and remember that many times when your opponents are online they are sitting cursing you for not being online at the same time as they are.

Well, I agree somewhat. I know that if a player has run out of time and is ready to be timed out by me, one of the things I look at is his other games. If the player is moving along in other games and ignoring mine, he'll get himself timed out quicker than someone who has clearly not been online in a while.

Originally posted by GBubblesThe complexity of the game really is the crucial element (and the skill of the opponent). For instance I have been making 4-5 moves/day against most of the people who move that often in the group, but I know I must be doubly careful against higher rated players or in unfamiliar positions. Hence, I only move when my plan is obvious, or I am at home and have 5-10 minutes to consider. The same thing occurs when my opponent gambits material, mounts a formidible attack, or I am trying to keep my initiative alive, encounter a new variation, etc...

If it is a clearly lost game, I just resign.
