Thanks. Sounds like a logical rule.
I hope my opponent is not insulted by deleting this game but i can't stand waiting one hundred days for him to play even the starting move!

And why some players have more than 100-200 started games at a certain time? I mean if they can't keep up with so many games they should not play them and not play like snails.

The number of games a person has says little about his/her ability to play.
I used to have almost 900 games running at one time. Every day I brought my waiting games list down to 0. Many of the games I didn't play every day, though, because my opponents weren't fast enough. Others I played over a dozen moves a day, because my opponent moved as soon as I did.
If I waited for those games to finish before starting new ones, I'd still be waiting for those that aren't that fast to play...
Just to say that having 100-200 games, doesn't mean much per se...

And where did i mention that?

My point is i find having 900 games running( Good lord!) an exaggeration. If you make 5 days for each move in every single game then the opponent suffers. But you suffer also as you are not really enjoying the games as you become a part of a hunting. You hunt making moves.
This site is supposed to be a fun site where players play for fun mainly and fun disappears if you play against a turtle that moves every sun's eclipse.

It's not a money tournament where players play for money so they have to make serious decisions about so time control is one, two, 5 or more days or even a month. I'm a professional Chess player and have played correspondence also but that was different as you only have to play some games and it is for rating i.e money!

I'm not saying they should play crappy moves here because it's for fun, but i'm saying that i think people lose the point of all this.

Constellation36: It's very simple to do.Delete all your games you don't like.Take a loss because it's only a game.Play games & tournaments that have a RED DOT with # of days :)
Anybody that has that is here to play & have fun:))

"GERRY": Yes indeed that is the way to go for me. I'm still learning about things in this site.
I guess some people like playing against turtles but my mileage varies a lot, so i will use your advice.
