Daily Chess or Daily Torture?

Active opponents suddenly become passive and start waiting last hours to play when a defeat is guaranteed. So a simple endgame takes 2 weeks to complete.

Some go for vacation and put you on hold for indefinate period of time.

Is this daily chess a way of torturing people? Why do rules support these behaviours?

Dude I have 415+ games I am not able to think what should I do

Dude.. I have an ongoing game and michael jackson was black when this one started. I think i'm gonna pass this game to my children..

I've been playing dailies for 15+ years (mostly on another site), so I can chime in.

First things first: if you are not prepared to be patient and wait for your opponent to make a move for a prolonged period of time, then daily chess is not for you. People choose to play dailies precisely because they want to take their time. They are given a certain amount of time to make their move (which you agree to when joining the game), and they are within their right to use it as they see fit. If you do not like it, don't play dailies.

Now, stalling is another issue altogether. It is not specific to dailies, as it happens in live games too, but it is certainly most annoying in this chess format. It is beyond any doubt rude and bad sportsmanship, but whether it should be punishable is debatable. Chess.com does sanction it, so here you can report those who stall your games. Read this:

Wow 15+ years are a lot!

I should have added "on and off".

Well, not everyone here is a kid

that's why i dont give any more than three craps about daily

@AntiMustard thank you for your insterest and input.

I don't have any problem with daily chess format, I also play rapid as well and daily is just a part of my games. 

It's just, there are some players acting annoying like waiting for 24h where there is only one legal move they have. You play %90 of the game in a few days and when he is mating net you play the rest %10 forced moves in 2 weeks.

I don't know why people tend to make everything uglier than it should be, when they lose. Our entire creation has serious bugs in dna codes.

As I mentioned, you can report players who stall games in a hopelessly lost position to chess.com.

From the link I posted above:

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.

Lol mate your oldest game started on March 22nd and there have been 47 moves each. That is fast for a daily game. My oldest game began on June 2nd 2019 and we have played 39 moves each (14 day time control) my opponent is @Megaslowbro1 😆

Our impaciente about the opponent tells  more about us than about the opponent. I also tended to get crazy about these guys, but it is their right to take their time. Otherwise is bullet the alternative 😊

Lol, apparently his second favorite time control is bullet

I've been here before, some of my opponents I meet often wait until the last 4 or 5 hours to make their move.

This can be annoying.

This is rare. It happens, but it's rare. Your complaint appears to be more about opponents not resigning, than them stalling, in my opinion. I sympathise with that side of the frustration quite a lot, but not so much about the slow moving side.

I actually do this myself. Not often. I do it in the specific situations when I believe my opponent has been cheating. I report them for cheating and then stall the game to allow time for any possible ban to occur before I lose. Not for any reason so normal as I care about my rating, but because on principle it hurts me to see cheaters win. I'm just a weirdo though

Christopher Columbus finally ran out of vacation days and timed out in one of my games.

I played Chuck Norris once, I told him to take as much vacation as wished to take. I ain’t fool.

I have 15 defeated opponents in my archive who have been banned on FPV (Fair Play Violations), using exactly this method (except that I only rarely report them myself... I've found that cheaters usually can't resist the temptation to cheat in multiple games, so I just slow down the tempo and let somebody else report them).
