3 min. per move PLEASE!

I don't know how many times, i'll be winning a game, and my opponent leaves without actually leaving( resigning or disconnecting). i especially hate this when theres 90 min. left on the clock. I think the best solution is to have each move timed, about 3 minutes or so. If some people wouldn't like that then i would like at LEAST the OPTION of timeing per move. The game ends once time runs out, and I don't have to waste time waiting or keeping the window up until his 90 min. runs out.

i dont think it should be a compulsory timer but it could be good as an option when creating a seek.

Terr, this is just the price you have to pay for playing slower chess games.  It's the same thing as going and playing in a tournament in real life.   You're sitting there with a crushing position and your opponent just sits there thinking or paralyzed.  Whatever.  We've all been dealing with this since long before the internet existed.   Suck it up world, people don't like to lose so they delay the inevitable.

you lose points if you leave the game, and you cant start a new game without resigning the current one. I care alot about points becuz its A, something to brag about if ur good enough :D, and B, its a way to measure how much you've improoved. I don't want my rating bogged down by 15 points just becuz some1 decided to be a poor-sport and waste time just to get at me.

p.s. Doesn't look like this option is available on the "Basic" interface. One more good reason to upgrade.

I think the new UI is accessible to all members w/ the right browsers.

Accessible maybe but short on functionality, if I remember correctly.
