Nothingness: Note also that if you move 10 times a day, and your opponent moves one hour after you move, your opponent is a faster player than you. Out of a 24 hour day, it's your opponents turn 10 hours, which means, for 14 hours, it's your turn. On average, he moves faster.

Considering time zones, people needing sleep, and the unreliability of the internet, I'd say that anyone picking a time control of less than 24h/move on average takes a risk. And I've no sympathy if they lose a game because their clock runs out.

AbigailII: actually no the person who responds instantly is the faster player. if im playing you in chess and i move at 1pm you move at 2pm i move at 2:01 pm them you move again at 3pm then i move at 3:01 i will be considered teh faster player. but here is where it gets tricky if i make my last move for the night at 12 midnight and my opponent moves ar 1am and i cant move again till 11am i get punished. but pedestrian summed it up the best and i agree with everyone. just dont join a risky time control.
