Well.. I used to be a regular player in chess.com previously. But... Due to severe problems in the Internet connections in our area... I lost all me tournament games, as well as all of my Vacation time... Not only that.. My stats also degraded  along with that... But.. can someone tell me now.. How to get some more vacation time?? Is it given annually.. or just once.. while U form the account... Please Answer my Query??

Actually, we just recently changed the way our vacation time works. Now, you will get one day on the 1st and 15th of every month. So you will get another day's worth of vacation time in just a few days from now. :-)

Great News!!! Thanks... And I think I can carry on the vacation time... I mean .. say every fortnightly.. I get 1 day.. . And if i dont use it for 1 yr... then I get 24 days... Is it like that!!!??

This is correct. As a free member, you are capped at a total of 30 days vacation time. You can read more about the new vacation system here: http://www.chess.com/news/site-update-groupteam-vote-chess--vacation-changes.

Awesome!!  Thanks for the link.  I had not seen it yet.  I love the new system!!  Makes much more sense!  I thought I was seeing things when I saw I had 1 day of vacation time.  I ran into a couple issues simultaneously a while back that resulted in all my vacation time getting used up.  I was not looking forward to 6 months without a safty net.  The system of building up vacation days over time makes so much more sense than the old wait-till-new-year's-day system.  So does the increased caps/bonus days for the various levels of membership.

GREAT JOB CHESS.COM!!!!  You just keep getting better and better and better...

Chess enthisiasts do not need vacation but emergencies do arise.. Great idea that of having vacation
