Do you think your going to start playing live chess over turned based..

.. since the arrival of the new updates. I'm not really a fan of turn based, takes to long- and i find i make more mistakes then when I'm playing it live. what about you?

I do like both, for various reasons, but i prefer turn based. It gives me more thinking time.. [ i need it ] Plus, i'm on this site almost all the time at the moment, so i tend to spend time using the tactics trainer or chess mentor.

i find i get too many distractions when playing live chess.. [door bell, telephone, unwanted visitors]  Hmmm some people can be so dang inconsiderate to a chess players' time .. lol.

Ok, changed my mind, live chess is fun ....

i've just had a game on Live Chess and won a game with a 3 move mate ...

"Do you think you're going to start playing live chess over turn based?"

As a result of what? Live chess has been available on the internet for over a decade. I've always had the choice between live chess and "turn based" chess (by the way, how is live chess not based on taking turns?).

My motivation for playing turn based chess is limited time controls I can afford to play in one sitting. If I want to play at tournament pace (at least G/60, preferably, G/120), I would have to be able to dedicate at least 2 hours to one sitting of chess in a live game. In a turn based game, I can play at a tournament pace without having to dedicate more than a few minutes in a sitting and without worrying about distractions as mentioned by kohai.

Live chess is great entertainment, I've enjoyed many thousands of games of it. But over the internet it's generally at a significantly faster than tournment pace.
