Daily Game Dilemma

Sort:
BombKermit

So I've been trying out daily games recently, and I selected the time control as 24hrs. However, I'll be out of town in a while and I won't be able to play. Furthermore, my opponent takes 15 - 20hrs to respond to my move. Is there a way to pause a daily game timer or something to prevent me from losing?

Vacation mode is best as mentioned above

That's only for premium members. I have seen so many of my opponents lose on time because of this but i understand why it is premium

You are demolishing them. Just log in and make moves. You won't have a hard time winning the game. But that's all I can say because the game is still going on.

Not everyone is going to have Internet or have time to log on while they are on vacation for example etc.

The opponent probably wouldn't accept unless it was one of your close friends on chess.com

That's not correct. Anyone can turn on vacation. Auto-timeout protection is a premium only feature.

Hi Owl. I was referring to a different daily game
Thank you all! I managed to deliver checkmate today, so I probably won't need to use any vacation days. Good for future reference though!
