Why are players allowed to wait half an hour to move? I'm in the middle of a game and my opponent is keen on waiting me out after he blundered and lost his queen.
I know ESPN did a study that showed peoples attention spans are getting shorter, so they cut there clips to something like 15 seconds. Anything longer and people lose focus. I really find it sad in chess that people are this way, knowing full well that chess is a thinking mans game.
that's because some people are pricks. I agree with you. what I do when that happens to me is I'll just say screw the game, my rating, and whomever I'm playing and abort the game and start a new one. my rating on Chess.com doesn't pay my bills.
