Hello People from chess.com:

Is it possible to include a new method of classification (sort) of members based on the average time per move ?

It will be useful for people (me and others I am sure) who wanna create a challenge  with players that usually don't take long time to make a move.

Something like that, but the suggestion is just to include a new sort method at the page

average time per move may be really misleading. 

 

If online, players may make a move every 2 minutes or so, but when offline, and it is their turn to move, their time racks up a lot.  so that may or may not be an accurate indicator of how long they will take in their games.

 

regards,

Well, you are right, but as the criteria is the same for all players, it is an comparative indicator among all users.

no big deal - set a 24 hour limit to make/complete a move - restrict the number of open games a player can have, each game will move faster - largely the number of open games happens because we want to play and not have to wait for some dumb-ass to walk his dog or trim his lawn.

if you are going to play - play                i'm ready come get me

personally i don't like blitz chess
