Seriosly. NOBODY likes time in their chess. 

 Time causes :

-Blunders

-Frustration

-Limitation

-Incapibility of thinking your moevs properly

 

  Whenever I play live I'm forced to use the maximum time option, just because I like to think a little before making a move. When chess was originally invented, there were no limitations in time taken. While this used to be a bad thing (As most of you know, at the london chess tournament around the 1800s players used to take even up to an hour to make a move therefore time was invented).

 However, today we can live without a time option, and I believe that if someone wants to play chess without being forced to make a move in a second as if he was Einstein, he should.

Play online chess with 14 days?

  No, play an untimed live chess game. An untimed chess game would probably take about an hour maximum two, and would result in better performance of both opponents. 

  The idea was actually taken from online chess, after seeing players make a move as if it was live, but with no time.

Except...say that happens, and we start the game, and then I just walk away. Are you going to sit around all day for me to come back?

 No. I was actually thinking about this possibility, as I see it alot to members that don't like losing, they just walk away.

 

 My suggestion is a safety button. When pressed by any player, the other player has 3 minutes to confirm. If he doesn't confirm, the game starts a timer bethween moves. If he confirms, he is forced to make one move. 

 

 However if made properly I'm sure a better safety system could be implemented.
