14 Days Per Move Chess Games

Am I the only one that think having the option too play chess games with 14 days per move on chess.com is ridiculous?? I have played in some 14 days tournament (I don't know why, didn't realize how long it would end) and the games are taking forever... And why? Just why are all these people playing 14 days time control games? Do they all like it? I don't think so. I suggest chess games with 14 days time control should be removed of chess.com.

I don't think it is ridiculous. You don't have to wait 14 days to make a move. You can make a move  before the limit is up. Secondly, maybe some people might not be able to get onto Chess.com for a week or two. How would you feel if you had spent a lot of work and time in a game and achieved a winning position, only to lose because you didn't have enough time to log on and make a move? Thirdly, if you don't like playing in a 14-days tournament, you can withdraw from the tournament. 

There are several people enjoying 14 days per move games. 

I usually play 10 days, but I also like 14 days. I play those long tournaments and I don't care if they will take years to finish. I am currently playing a tournament that started in 2010.

I work full time and and study at night, so I don't want the obligation to visit a specific chess site everyday or once in three days. I guess most people who enjoy long games do it for similar reasons.

By the way, the original correspondence chess could take much more than 2 weeks. 

you need to chill out

The longer time controls are for people who don't want to rush or blitz their CC games like a horse race you should have stuck to 3 days per move is that's what you prefer.

First I chose to quit online chess, then decided to start some at over 7 days a move, including 14 days a move. And I enjoy it that way. 

Joining a 14d/m tourney was the worst decision by you. I agree those are annoying. But if you are getting anxious for those games, it just simply means you are greedy for the rating increase. If you're losing, resign. 

But removing the time control... I totally DO NOT support it. There are people who can not afford as much time as you can in here. 

Well it gets kind of stupid if a player is dead lost and drags it out by waiting 14 days for each move before moving. If you are lucky you can drag out the game for one year after being lost. 10 moves are 140 days for example.. If people play on a queen down for example.. But thats the rules I guess..

Yes and No!

When i first started playing 14 days moves (Not Team Match or Torny), i thought my opponent would string me along for months. But it was just the opposite.  No, no no  on the matter of tournaments. Chess.com has to remove this option here. 3 days is already a life time to make a move. 5 days per move should be max time limits in tournament due to jerks who can not advance to the next round holding up that group and the rest of the tournament.

Again another yes. Yeah hold as i say yes to tournaments. Yes to group tournaments as the SA or Admin of the group has more authority here with a 14 day move time limit. Here you not a stranger as the Tournament Director.  Another yes if you start your own tournament with 14 day move time limits and only invite your friends to play and maybe some of their friends.  More people are joining teams that have tournaments to avoid tournaments with jerks using up the given 14 days just because they can do it.

I play 14 day because there are people who make a move  after few minutes I make my move, also in difficult positions, so with less days I haven't the time to reply to these blitzers.

Well 6 or 7 days would be enough to give you 3 days for you and 3 days for your opponent in total..

They are not Blitzers just Blunder Seekers. Once you start taking your time making the strongest possible move they back off strategy quickly. And since more than likely that is their only plan to win a game that start falling apart. 

Then they go to moving so slow after they blunder and your moving fast. Then ask them "How you like me now"

Yeah that leaves enought time for you and your opponent to go out and have lunch and start a seperate game.

I'm going out of town this weekend, and I will have to remember to go in and put myself on vacation. If I had 14 day games, I wouldn't have to do that. I guess I'm saying I don't mind them at all. I've played and may be playing now some 14 day games. If your opponent is taking too long, add another, shorter time control game. Add two, and just be pleasantly surprised when you need to make a move on that 14 day game.

Yes but they make move after few minutes. If I'm playing other games simultaneously, this is a problem.

Yes thats my point. If you else would play 3 days per move 6 or 7 days moves would give you the same result if your opponent 

In my opinion it is ridiculous you make some valid points. However for others it works for them which is why its an option. I never play it because I find it dumb to drag a chess game on for a year. I play 3 days tops. Moral of the story is if you don't like it don't play it. Its pretty stupid to ask that a feature be removed because you don't like it. That's just selfish.

But maybe in some tournaments the TD could judge a game to a loss if a player is just dragging it out in a silly way in "extreme" cases..

Dragging the game as long as you can, which is aggravated by long time controls, is stupid, rude, etc.

But accepting a 14 d/move game and then complaining that the opponent uses the whole time control is stupid as well.

Instead of demanding the suppression of those time controls, just do not play them. Simple.

Depends if you alter the rules for obvious misconduct but else I agree.

I don't think the rules need to be changed. Just enforced. For example, this one : has anyone ever used it ?

Chess.com has the right to adjudicate any game in which we feel one of the players is using vacation time to intentionally delay a game when in a lost position. Abusing vacation time may also result in a warning and/or account closure. (http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/104/0/what-is-vacation-abuse)

Another article  (http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/23/3/i-cant-lose--why-wont-my-opponent-resign) basically says that you should cope with your opponent not moving before the end of his time.

But as such poor sports usually use vacation abuse too, you could have an option by jumping on the opportunity to message a mod as soon as they get into vacation.
