Time limit on moves in 30 minute games?

Sort:
bcreek

I am a beginner. Play 30 minute games. Waited over 15 minutes for opponent to play today. Game ended with me winning of course. I have seen this more than once. Is there a way to place a time limit on moves in 30 minute games?

No. There used to be a max time per move enforcement but as far as I know that has been removed. 

 

The players that do that a lot will get their accounts restricted and primarily start facing other players that do the same thing.

i am not sure when/how it kicks in but i have seen the "auto-abort" kick in in my 30 min games when an opponent doesnt play a move (but maybe this is a connection issue?)

It will do that if the first move isn't made, but as far as I know, it doesn't impact later moves. It's a different story if they disconnect.

Image insert doesn't work on v3, need to switch to v2, and use a PC, not phone.

Chess.com/switch

Also switching is glitchy. Lol. Good luck.

Sorry for the size (will resize later) but upload works for me on a mobile browser in v3.

I believe you Martin but I don't know what I was doing wrong.. the button for image insert on v3 does absolutely nothing on my end, on my phone browser and on my PC. The other buttons like video embed works

If all else fails, I did get it to work in v2...

Cleared cache and I still dont see an "instert" button as it used to be.

v2 is sooo ugly like I cant believe someone could design something so bad and 1970 looking, but I think I will need to try it out again cry.png. By the way, I hope you fired that graphic designer that made v2.

1970 lol

Hmm, maybe inserting images is a premium feature now surprise.png

That's good!

Another idea is to give people a sportsmanship grade in the form of stars. 

A five-star player doesn't disconnect in lost positions, doesn't stall in lost positions, doesn't abuse in chat. 

The stars can be displayed in the profile page of each player - so people can know who they are playing in advance - and maybe as you say, be paired against members of the same sportsmanship category. 

That will save a lot of time and bad feelings for those who deserve better.

I'm wondering why chess.com doesn't do this like lichess.com does. It's not like it's a copyrighted thing. 

I'd love to know what infractions my opponents have committed.

And I thought that I was being original with my suggestion...

 

Cherub_Enjel

^Your suggestion using stars is original I think. However, tagging players for certain infractions isn't.

Nope, there for me:

I tend to focus on the positive. I don't need to know what someone has done in the past - if he has five stars (or four) that's plenty good for me.

In the star system that I have in mind, only offenses from the last three months should be considered - so anyone can get their record clean if they play fair.
