My comment was about hundreds of hours on this Chess site, not this Forum topic!  That would have been Truly loony!  

oh, that's much better. I was truly feeling bad for you!!

This is up for debate.

DrSpudnik

Let's all get together and have a mass debate!

winerkleiner

Ok my stand will be: I don't like to argue.

Call it what it is! "Correspondence Chess".

I wish that's what the PGN game files would say. I have to go through and manually change them all from "Let's Play!" to something a bit more meaningful. Could we get that changed, at least?

In response to the request in post #1545, count me

in for mass debate!

I'll start...

I contend energy is an additional source of mass.

Yes. How insulting. As if we are all little children giddy with excitement at the prospect of playing a chess game. "Let's play!" puh-leeze. Tongue Out

(only kidding, of course. I still get excited every time I see the 64 squares!)

Did I win?

As you've pointed out Online chess is a generic name. Change it to Online Correspondence Chess (OCC) or simply Correspondence Chess.

i hate the name "turn-based". All chess is turn based, my turn your turn.

I'm thinking 24/7Chess because if you are in enough games you can make a move 24/7. Or Chess24/14. 24 hrs to 14 days.

I know what you can call 960 live... Live960 ...when's that gonna be a topic?
