Please extend abort timeout

In Chess960, the very first move should be permitted to take a bit longer.  Unlike "normal" chess, where the first moves are very thoroughly explored, surveying the position is an important part of the first move.  20 seconds in a 10 minute game is just silly.... and very few people are aborting in these variants, anyway.

Please stop forcing me to move before I think.  That's lame.  If you must have something, let me click "I intend to move" or something.

While I was sympathetic at first, it looks like your last Chess 960 game was played in 2015 and all your games lasted only a few moves.

Is this a real problem?

Hmmm, your source is wildly inaccurate, my friend.  No idea where you got that from, maybe you aren't searching on Blitz or something?

Yes, it is a real problem.

I see them now. They don't show up as one of the categories in a profile (at least in the browser version) but you can search for them.

Ok, now that we know I'm not an whiner or whatever you were policing, can we get some discussion of the issue??

To me chess is fun and 10 min is too short for fun and complete the whole game specially in random chess960 where you don't have the same setup every time. Also, I noticed people resigned from the games to avoid losing at the last move and they don't get Penalized for doing so. It should be done with agreement from both parties like withdraw.
