How do I find my average time per move in daily chess?

SynapseChess

I seem to recall that on an old version of the site it was visible in the stats page, but that is no longer the case. I'm unable to join a tournament because my average move time is too high, and I don't know whether it's worth trying to lower it before the tournament starts tear

Thanks for this!

It was nice when it showed up on the stats page because I could choose opponents that had a similar time to move as me on daily chess.

Can you explain why I can't play daily tournaments with 1 day average move since my average time is between 20 and 21 hours

That shows your timeout percentage was 10. That's usually the default limit and likely the reason you couldn't join. It's currently at 8% so unless the event you're trying to join has a stricter requirement it might work.

Thanks, I realised it is because the requirements for average time is 12 hours. 😭😭 I need to lower my average another 7 hours
