Interested in slow chess?

    I've formed a new group aimed at players interested in playing slow chess but not correspondence games that can take months to end? 

    Dan Heisman repeatedly recommends playing slow chess to get better at analysis and improving your chess skill! This group will help set up these longer games.  Help in organizing the group is also invited.  Any moderators that might help facilitate this group growing would also be quite welcome! 

    Thanks for reading!

    See http://www.chess.com/groups/home/team-45-45 and join!

    I've also seen one more before, but they're not active at all and have only 2 members.

    You might also want to check this topic I created some time ago:

    I realize there are other places w/ chess players and I do play live in person tournaments.  I'm trying to rally the chess.com community to shake out the people who are interested in seriously improving at slow chess.  We have a HUGE community here, why go elsewhere?  Surely there are more than 14 people interested in slow chess!

    Come join

    if you are interested!

    Community is huge, I agree, but a lot of people come here only for correspondence chess or blitz/bullet live games.Anyway Not So Fast group has only started a couple of days ago and we already have some members, everything seems to head the right direction.

    I'm recruiting some of my stronger IM/FM/Experts to draw more interest.  I'm not sure how many I can drum up, we'll see.

    Want to get better at not making blunders!??  Then practice SLOW live chess, and practice will make you better, and your speed game will improve too.  This method of study is recommended by the excellent teacher Dan Heisman.  Check out
