do you think the chess games are to long as it gives players time to google positions and then play the game that they would have not played.maybe i am the suspicious type when you know there is only one move for your opponant to move but they log off and then appear about 15 minutes later and do the move with a few moves ready immiately after.i know you'll say play blitz chess or something but it does feel frustrating at times when you feel like a little longer game and you notice it happening.does anyone else notice this in their games

I don't understand. Are you talking live or online. Live it should be impossible, he'd run out of time or disconnect. Also, you can't Google a position effectively.

ye when you are defending possible checkmates when certain pieces are left on the board or you are trying for a stalemate,or even when trying for checkmates .i am not saying it happens all the time but there are just suspicious times and it is the online ones with over 1 day games

You're allowed to use databases in the online chess.....as well as books and magazines...as long as there is no computer analysis
