To be more specific, you can only pick one time control setting (ex: 5 min, 10 min, 1 min, 30 sec) to play forever, it seems easy, but if you pick too long of a time control then it’s harder to do a quick game, and a quicker time control means it’s harder to play casually with last-second rushes requiring lots of focus. So… what would it be?

I figured this is a pretty good topic for discussion to boost activity here, The question is pretty simple, who has the best food OAT? (Personally I think it's either Mexico or Thailand)

Almost one year ago we reached 100 members, and we have seen very little growth from that point. My theory is that people don't know what this club is for, there isn't a specific type of person it attracts, and people not in the club don't know what it's for. I think we should work on branding so that people know what to expect when they join, but to do that we first need to create this club's identity, to the other mods in this club, we might want to make a club or forum where we can discuss this.

Pawnicide doesn't tell you much about what this club is, even if you know what it means, and due to its broadness people don't know what they're meant to discuss, admins like myself trying to force discussion won't work. Instead, we should create a more specific theme. I'll leave what that theme may be up to Traxxas, but I think I've made it very clear that this club needs a theme.

Hi. I tried having 4 arenas a day, but no one is able to join them (except one (besides me), but that isn’t enough). Therefore, I don’t want to spend a lot of time creating them if no one will play. If you still want the arenas, comment.

https://www.chess.com/game/live/130207749227 He expected repetition, the pawn check cost him to much time, and I did the check just in time.
I'm on a mission to complete all. At the rate I'm going, I'll complete all in 2 months. Anyone care to join in the challenge (You'll know if I did the puzzle because I will comment on every puzzle)? You can try to beat me.

I have been playing for around a year and 1/4 and I went from 250 to 1600 in one year! Right now, all my ratings are at their peak and I just keep going higher!

I cannot believe how many members we are getting. I think we got like 15 in the last few days!

The Pawnicide Anthem:

O look, can you see, the pawn on f3, 

It is passed and may advance, Glory be! It will be a queen!

This threat may proceed, unless there is done a deed,

But will White abide or commit pawnicide?

And the rooks were deployed, the captures did commence,

Yet the pawn stood strong, amidst the throng,

But the queen was dispatched and the pawn did die,

Thus White did preside, all because of pawnicide!
