OTBSIM
The idea is to use the correspondence (online chess)to SIMULATE an Long timed game ("OTB like") without schedule issues.
We need to play against trustworthy people that do agree to not cheat, not use database (as in OTB games DB is not used and to write down his reflexion time for each move in the chat window).So, if the game was agreed to be a 2 hour per player game, the players will measure their reflexion time and KEEP in the scheduled clock time.Counting from 5 to 5 seconds needs JUST a table clock.
I did almost 20 games in this way and it was the most instructional experience I had in chess.com so far.
Here I am posting the general idea to discuss.If you wanna play this, enter this team.When we have 8 players in a rating range we will begin the first "OTBSIM tournment" ever tournment: http://www.chess.com/groups/home/otb-sim-team
