Stalling in Daily Chess.

     Realize that there are many people who don't live on their smartphones. They may sit down at their PC at about the same time everyday, read and reply to their e-mails, and play their daily chess moves. Not everybody is in as big a hurry as you seem to be.

BTW, another reason why people may not be able to play more than one move a day is when opponents are in significantly different time zones and are never online at the same time. They are bound to play no more than one move a day.

If you choose to play a 14 day daily, you really shouldn't complain about a time factor!

But there's no grey area. People should be able to take as much time as they need. That's the essence of correspondence chess. Has been since the beginning.

Well, if you had started with saying your only issue is with stalling obvious and forced moves, you'd get way fewer objections, because it is a much less controversial position (if at all)

Even that can be justified if you are very busy, since you get some extra time to consider what's coming next.

And just to update. The player who went on vacation for 2 and 1/2 months has just lost on time as he/she failed to move after their vacation time ran out. 

Last 11 games timed out.

Rip he/she hasn't even came online for a few months

And why would that be exactly?

Yeah, it's rough sometimes. I'm learning to be patient and look back at moves.

If you want a quicker game then pick a quicker game

@Lexhibition i am with you 100% on this one. They know what they are doing. It is a type of stalling tactic. Toxic players use this.

i rly dont unedrstand how both of u r saying that using the time given is toxic (but u r enttitled to ur own opinion ig)but that like saying someone using up all of their time in a rapid is also toxic. but is it rly tho be honest

@toxic_rabbit

@toxic_rabbit but why do i then get a warning from chess. Com for taking a minute to make a move in a 3min blitz game? Surely i am akso playing within the set time limit?

I do find it interesting that Chess.com gives a warning in Rapid/Blitz games if you think about a move for a few seconds (still well within the time control) but in Daily there is no warning for the few players who take 23 hours for every move. (Or 13 days and 23 hours in the case of a few 14-day games I joined.) Why is the former penalized but the latter not?

I think in blitz and rapid you only get a warning if you let the clock run down lots of times in losing positions or leave the game without resigning and let the clock run out lots of times. You won't get a warning if you think about a move for 7 minutes in a 30 minute game or 1 minute about a move in a 3 minute game unless it's totally lost and it's obviously stalling.

It's true that the same happens in daily games, but it's falling on deaf ears in this thread. People moving at the time limit so that their opponents might time out or leave chess, should also be considered stalling, although it's hard to determine.

People definitely stall unnecessarily in daily games. I have been in games with a forced checkmate in 2 to 3 moves and they still take ages - they are simple positions that do not require a lot of analysis. I've got to the point where I've stopped playing daily games. These are the real effects of people playing in this way.

Despite the fact that some players are within their rights to take the full allotment of time in Daily games to make their move, nevertheless there seems to be an unwritten rule of Daily game etiquette that both players make more than one move per turn, especially during the opening and part of the midgame at least.
