I have noticed something in the open challenge section of daily games on chess.com where people are looking for games of seven 10, 14 days per move. I can’t understand why in the world someone would wanna play a game of 14 days per move! It would take a couple of years just to finish a game at that level. I don’t understand it! Can anyone explain the reason for that?

Many of these players have busy lives — jobs, families, or health limitations. A long time control lets them play high-quality chess without stress or time pressure.
