    after move ...34 Nc3! ,the game took like 10 months to finish . game went really fast up to that point but after the 34th move i had to wait 14 days for every move

    So you joined a 14 day per move game and are complaining it took 14 days per move? I completely understand... I yell at my opponents when they call me for running out of time in a 1-0 bullet game.

    i don't think you completely understand ,i think you missed the part where i said the game continued pretty fast before the losing move of my opponent . from that point on he slowed down intentionally just for the sake of being annoying . always making moves on the 14th day at the last minute 

    it's ridiculous and you trying to defend this is even more ridiculous but as i said at the beginning of my previous post ,i'd be in your shoes and arguing with me on this if i didn't have such an experience

    Dude, only 10 months?  You play incredibly fast games here.  I have had games go three years.

    Ok interesting thing to lookup - a stainless steel, antique, all-purpose no-prize to whoever can find out the record for the longest game in terms of time (not moves) at chess.com.

    if I have a game last 52 years, I would want a week vacation somewhere in the middle of it.

    There needs to be a limit on how long of a vacation you can take at a time. May I sugget a week long vacation to be the limit at one time?

    It won't ever have a worse idea unless chess.com appoints me as the official chess.com jokemaster who decides taste, decency and what is humorous in all jest, jokes and comedy on this site.

    And when I take my typical 2 week vacation every year, this will help me how, exactly?

    2 weeks is good Ubik,but 2 months sounds more like unemployed.Sealed

    Well, I still want to see how limiting my vacation time helps me as a player.
