You mean like one minute per move?  I personally don't like this idea because it will rush you and make you make bad moves.  I say let people use their time as they see fit.  If they want to waste 10 minutes figuring out a move, then that's their business.  If someone wants to time out on me, I'll just sit there and watch the clock run down.

How akward you would say that, since I just played a blitz game with you and instead of resigning when I was up two rooks and your king was cornered you just left the game forcing me to wait. Bad sportmanship.

Maybe you can't think longer than five minutes, but I definitely can. Over the board, I've spend five times as much.

Such a rule would lower the quality of play.

Avatar of SimaSun

I agree. I can think a very long time over moves, sometime I can think even longer Puchiko.

That aside fisher14,your rule wouldn't help, since if a person leaves the server will extermminate the game after a while.

when i left the game u wait...u feel bad..ha or mad ? ...blitz game ?...why did you said ?...bad sportmanship...if forcing someone to wait was ok 4 u ...why u reacted that inexplanable logic of urs...ha...

Of course I'm mad that you showed bad sportmanship by simply leaiving the game rather than resigning. Obviously that is bad sportmanship.

I never forced anyone to wait, I said I could use longer time on making a move in a game, but I never leave in the middle of it without resigning.

I was not forcing people to wait as in simply leaving the game.

Please do not flame me for simply making a logical statement fisher.

I did not attack you, so you should not attack me.

that's why some people play with the time control 2|12 instead of 10|0, so that if someone doesn't move in 2 minutes they lose. i could probably explain that a little better but i think you can get the gist.
