I think I'm gonna quit Leagues now. I'll take the bronze. My wife and my kids are complaining and duty calls at work. happy.png wink.png But it was fun! How are others experiencing this at home?

I think I agree with you.  I made it to Bronze but spent way more time than usual playing. 

I got 635 points playing rapid last week. That took 42 wins and 1 draw, which probably means I played twice that number of games.  Let's say 80 games times 20 minutes = 1600 minutes or about 27 hours playing. 

The idea of redoubling my effort every week for 7 weeks seems crazy.

Good luck to those who can use the entire 168 hours a week for playing chess.

My plan was silver then some day crystal... maybe crystal the first week it's available, just depends how much I'd have to play. I have no problem (psychologically or physically) spending 20 hours over a weekend playing, done that plenty of times before.

But after that I'll just ignore leagues.
