Yes, I'm worried that this game might go to 200 moves, and each one takes a week. That's 1400 days - almost 4 years. Nav, are you around?

I expect it will go through phases of being quick then slow. And I would be surprised if ended up being a 100+ move game. If I fall behind significantly in material, I'll go all out attack before fluking a result or resigning, I won't try to get to endgame if I know I'll lose it. I imagine nav will have a similar mindset.

And while this is a high quality game, sooner or later one of us will make a mistake and be punished.

 

But yeah we both need to stop taking a week per move. At the very least we should be aiming to finish this game this year. We should both start bumping each other at 4 days, and we should both aim to move within 24 hours of a bump. At 7 days, we issue warnings, not bumps. Are you ok with this nav?

I am ok with this. Bump at 4 days. Move within 24 hours of a bump.

I know it is mostly me who drags out the time per move. I'm just lazy, but if I get encouragement I will almost certainly move sooner. So everyone don't hesitate to get on me about that, everyday.
