Suggestion: New type of daily chess with only a specific time for the whole game shall be used

Ok, sometimes daily chess games can go for a year or even more since it has 3 days per move. We sometimes see a certian player making his move in the last second. It can make other side tired. Some premium members avoid moving till the end of his vacation time and then loses in time. It means the other side has to wait for months, the club match's result is not decided due to that coward.

 

I propose new time control: Sides have can have up to 30 days in total for the whole game.  If an individual wishes, he can think for 20 days and make his first move, then he will have 10 days for his remaining moves. It is like playing classical chess with 1 month at hand. That is the time control. Time for thinking will not restart after you move, the countdown will continue after your opponent moves. It would be too great if it is used in Chess.com World and continental League matches. Some matches have been being played for more than a year because certian players do their move in the last second of his 3 days thinking time.

If an individual wants, he can do his move in a minute and he will still have 1 month left for the rest of the game. He thinks for his second move for 2 days? Then he has 28 days remaining. In this type of time control in daily chess, too few can avoid resigning so that that loss will not be counted on his profile for months. Many club matchs' outcomes will be determined too sooner.

Both daily types shall be in use, players will choose their time control accordingly. Those who want current daily type will choose current one, those who want my proposal would choose the type I proposed.

 

What do you say?

yeah great idea

 

How can we promote it so that site administration can see and accept it. Is there anyway of proposing via support of many users?

I support it! Basically it’s like if it were live, and a 30 Day game live instead. With 30 days to make all your moves!

It is a must-have especially for Chess.com Club World league matches. Look at this match:

https://www.chess.com/club/matches/team-turkmenistan/829192 

 

It is being played since the end of September 2017 which means it is going on for  more than 5 months. If my proposal gets accepted team matches can end in a month.

 

It would accelerate Chess.com World League and continental league match resualts.

The site CEO is the SA of this club and some other staff also take part. Don't know how much they read, outside of the bug reports though.

 

I used to play at another site that had a similar option for correspondence chess. I have seen the suggestion in other topics in the past as well.

Oh, I was really unaware of this thread.

 

Your proposal is also great. Let us do something together, let us try to popularize this time control.

 

But I am strongly opposed to "day per move" idea though, because even in your proposal someone may play his move in his last second till he feels absolutely desperate and then can use his extra 30 days. Let us remove this kind of "loopholes."

 

What do you say?

Sent a message in to "contact", will see if there is any response.

to the support team?

I could have done it as well but the request or proposal made by one person only can hardly make a difference. 

We shall gain support of majority, if many people wants it the chances are high that the site will accept it,

CrackLionIX

Sounds like a great idea.

 

Reebie13

Then many people should respond.

maybe 40 days because my games usually last around 60 moves and I only have time to move every 12 hours. Some games may last like 80 moves.

xxjuniortidxx

you mean they can end in two months.
