When it comes to daily chess, unfortunately there isn't much to be done about the time spent in between moves. By design, daily chess was meant to be a longer form of time.
Is there anything we can do about an opponent & slow play during these 3 day per move matches...my opponent during the Mississippi match has been on vacation 3 times & only 1 time has made more than 1 move in a day
Went to the South Charleston library yesterday where there is a newly formed/forming chess club. Rick did a great job with both my 3 and 5 year old and even played me for a couple of games. Wednesdays at 2 is when it typically meets for anyone in the area who may be interested.
New US Team Chess League Round is starting. We are playing Mississippi this coming round. Jump in as long as you aren't playing for another state team in the USTC League.
