How can I get an online game terminated?

I am playing a games against a guy. I got alloted this opponant as a part of a team match.This game is a 5 days per move limit game. My opponant makes his move in the 23rd hour of 5th day. 

No wonder it has been more than 3 months and we have played 18 moves so far.

When I asked him to be a little quicker, his reply was " I have life and I have other things to do as well." Irony is that   this 'Mr. I have a life' had 472 games going on at that time.

My query is that is there any way I can get this game terminated? 'cause I don't want to keep playing this game 150 years from now when i would like to have fun with the son of my great grandson and I don't want to encourage this cheap tactic of irritating your opponant to the extent where he resigns just to get rid of that.

Even If I don't be self centered, such snails bring bad name to correspondance chess and chess.com. Apart from that i believe that this is a gross violation of CC's 'fair play' policy which suggests  that one should not make his opponant wait unnessasary.

Eh, can't disagree. However, you did agree to the time frame. This is a very delicate situation as a player should be allowed to choose how long they wish to use for a move. So while this may be deemed a violation, it very well may not be.

To Staff, would it be out of this world to suggest an alternative option to the constant badgering of those who choose the # days/move? Say if the opponent has consistently shown to move immediately before their time is up in consecutive move-sets then the opponent will have the option to push the time down from say 5 days to 3 days or 3 days to 1 day for a move. I mean really, this isn't all that different from the 50-move rule in chess.

Or go with the more professional grading of x number of moves in a month rather than one move every x number of days.

Yes, you can resign.

Your opponent is not doing anything against the fair play policy. 

If you do not like playing against people who use their full 5 days to move then do not sign up for 5 day/move matches/games.

Ture, I agreed for this time limit( technically). Now if in a live match, I abondon a match in between, why would I be cautioned for making my opponent wait unnessasary? My account can get terminated if I continue to do so, right?  Although my opponent 'agreed' to play me with that time limit.

How is it different from that scenario?

I agree with the suggestion Phylar made.

I don't even know what that means.

The rules are different (from what I understand) for abandoning live games.

The rules are what they are. Deal with them. If you want out of your game, resign.

Lol Rsava, I know these are rules and I can deal with them. However I can't be faulted for posting an unpleasent situation. As a customer to chess.com I am giving this site a feedback about what I feel is not right and presenting a situation for other members to think abt.

And NO I won't resign for this cheap blackmail... 

I can't help you to resolve this problem in that game, but I am starting an online tournament called "Speedy Gonzalez" with 24 hour move, no vacation rules.  Come join it if you want to play correspondence style and avoid the lame play of people "too busy" to move.  

If you can't find it, send me a message, and I can invite you directly. 

If your oppenent takes 5 days per move and you take 2 days per move, the game will most likely be over in less than 2 years. I don't see a problem. This is correspondence yes - you get what you agreed to.

Some people just don't get it. :|

I absolutely understand your opinion. Mine is just different from yours, as is your oppenent's. And - big advantage - we have the rules on our side.

It completely fair and NOT against the rules to take as much time as you need in online chess. Too bad, deal with it.

I know it isn't the case with this guy, but can't you imagine a case in which a correspondence player takes the maximum time allotted in order to find a really good move? That to me would be the spirit of correspondence chess: taking all the time available so that you can play the best move that you are capable of making. This isn't live chess, so you can really play at your theoretical best. Again, your opponent isn't doing that, but I think that I should take more time with my moves, and I wish that some of my opponents would do the same.

If you don't like people using all the allotted time, then don't play CC. And on a helpful note, you can look at players profiles before you play them and see how fast on average they make their moves. Averages from 3-6 hours will let you know that the player typically always moves in less time then the time frame gives for its maximum. Play those people.

Nothing you can do but play faster or resign if you want the game to end sooner. Just hope he will eventually connect late and lose on time if he really does always play a few minutes before he is flagged

Although I had surrendered a post ago but I will respond for the  one more time.

jason I am playing CC for some time and I am a fan of that since it helped me in my game for the reasons you mentioned and I genuinely understand and respect people who take as much time as they like to produce best move. This guy is doing this since his third move.

This is the first time I have raised this point cause I believe people are taking undue advantage of this system. I believe that I am not the only one who thinks this way.

This is not a court where we discuss what is technically legal and what is not. If I had believe there is something illegal I would have informed the moderators instead of raising  this issue here.

I raised it here cause I wanted to get this issue into people's attention so that possible silutions can be discussed, as were given by Phylar.

All I here from some people here is to Deal with it.  Well take it easy guys I am not going to sue my opponant ( or anybody)nor I am going to put the bullet in my head. 

Capt_Morgan, why did you agree to play 14 days per move then? There are so many 1 day tourneys without vacation, everyone can find the time control that suits them.

king_nothing1, please accept the fact that there are many people who don't want the system to be changed, because it's just fine. You want possible solutions to be discussed? Then it must be allowed to say that no solution is necessary.

This thread doesn't even comment on the vacation rule.  In a small tournament with 18 people I am in, we have had one person exhaust 21 days of vacation time before subsequently timing out.  While in the same pairing, there is another player who just started a 24 day vacation only a couple of moves from forced resignation.  The net effect is that the other 17 people will wait on these douchebags to time out and/or drag things out as long as possible.

It's lame, but people here will defend it.  Your only option is to resign or wait.  If it bugs you, you should probably just resign and move on with your life.

Next time, pick settings and opponents that play faster.

13 days 20 hr per move??

I would have surely shoot myself that case.
