Time Limit

Am i the only one who thinks the time limit is BS?? What is the point of a time limit if they don't follow it? You can literally wait until the last five seconds of the game and make moves then. IT's complete bull shit.

What's the point of a time limit if you can wait?

Well it's a time limit, not a pace.

OP, please define 'limit' for me.

NightLightsOut

Define limit.

So begins the descent into nihilism. I hope someone brought trail mix.

The limit in this case is 5 minutes. So each of us gets 5 minutes right? Should that not be abided by... Instead they make it so that you can wait until let's say the last 30 seconds of the game and you can keep going and going and going and going. If you make enough moves. Do you know what im saying?? I'll give you an example. Opposing player was playing me. Made a couple moves then waited until the last 20 seconds of the game. Made me wait that long and was able to win. No, that is bullshit. If we each get 5 minutes we get 5 minutes. plain and simple.

I thought it was imposible to reach the level of retardness the OP is displaying.

If they wait until they have 30 seconds then you have almost a secured win, you just have to keep a pawn of yours on the board and survive for 30 seconds until they time out and you win.

If you dont want to wait 5 minutes then why the hell do you play 5 min blitz?

If he was able to win with a significant time disadvantage then you are clearly doing something wrong. But still, he is within his right to use the allotted time as he pleases

I agree with OP here. Time limit is not BS at all.

 lol, looking at your history you're playing 5|5

Do you understand why "you can keep going and going and going and going"?

5|5 means you start with 5 minutes and after every move a player gains 5 seconds.

If you want no increment play 5|0

I hate playing a 30 minute game and the opponent keeps saying "hurry up and move". Sheesh.

What really gets on my nerves is when a player refuses to use up all of his allotted time. Seems such a waste of good minutes. Where do the minutes which are left on the clock even go after the game finishes?
