1 day per move. 
You can start as many games as you'd like. So if you want to consistently be on move, you can be. Of course, each individual game will be slow. But when you get to the point in your game where you need a long time to think, you'll have it!
Not everybody likes this style of play, but I think for certain training purposes it can be nice.

Thanks, are there any clocked move chess games?

Timed (live) chess is being tested here on this site. It's not bug-free enough to be an official part of the site, but seems pretty stable. You can participate by going to

I heard a story about a postal player who was fianchettoing his bishop and sent his move as " g6 ANY Bg7". His opponent responded with "Bh6" and "Bxg7". oops .
I've played by snail mail and still play by email. Sites like chess.com have sped up these games, and reduced the record keeping.
I, too, will move fast in the opening as well as when I have a decisive advantage with a clear plan. I think, however, that waiting until you are down material before slowing down is too long. To get an advantage against a strong player, you need to slow down before the game leaves your opening books. You need to steer opening theory into a middlegame where you have the prospect of an advantage that you can convert into a winning endgame. This endgame should be in view from the first move of the game.

Wow, some very cerebral chess players here, that's inspiring. I'm starting to get the systematic ongoings at chess.com. Pretty much, players are occupied by running several games at a time. It's a bit conforming to ADD recipients and It's so different from staring at a chess board for hours, but it is uniquely amusing. Although I'm finding it harder to remember premeditated moves when I'm switching around board to board. I've rediculously lost my queen in situations I never would of let happen in a single focused game. Of course, my level of play may simply not be as good as the average players here. I'm not into slamming a clock for timed chess, but I'm definitely used to one on one games in person where common courteousy for a move usually doesn't surpass 20 min. Here in New York I've learned the game from playing with elder Russian and Romanian immigrants, who by the way, take their chess very seriously. i really must acquaint myself to chess regulations because I've noticed rules I'v learned are not applicable to chess I see played here. here I learned the hard way that A king cannot take a queen from the opponent. It's definitely a healthier time killer than myspace or solitaire lol :0)
Unless the queen is promoted and captured by your opponent the next move, it's not possible, as the king would have been in check.
I've been playing 39 and haven't heard it either.

because it isn't true? :)

what happened was my king got checked by the queen in a neighboring space. I assumed it was a mistake by the player in getting that close and I attempted to take the queen with the king. The action wasn't possible computer wise. I'm by no means a chess pro so it's not like I would know this stuff off hand. I've only rekindled chess playing recently. I used to play it a lot with immigrants like Russians, Romanians, and latin Americans when I was a kid. Another thing odd for me now is, I was taught to show warning before an opponent moved into a checkmate, but I'm reading here on this site, that's not done by professional players. MUCH 2 LEARN
im new, but are moves really every three days? My first game I waited for eternity and realized it said each move has three days, are there any quicker paced games than that?
