I don't understand why you have a really really long one instead of not used. Like 1 year. If someone can't play in 1 year, I don't know what to say. Unless they are in the military... and get sent overseas... :-(

rednaz23: The game is within the first 2 moves so it could be canceled without affecting there BKRs. I suspect they decided to try and make the record for longest running game.

Pedro Martínez: [In response to the deleted part of Pedro's last post - WQ] You should never make assumptions. What if he has a lot of games? What if he always has another game that fills in with time remaining before he can get to that game? What if he can only play 15 minutes a day? There are a lot of things it could be! you shouldn't jump to conclusions unless you know for a fact. [Text deleted - WQ]

Pedro Martínez: Your right I didn't notice that it was a tournament. Well I have a feeling that terniment will never come to an end. As for him only having 15min a day or so. Since September 2005 he could have played atleast 1 move nomater how busy he is. You can select those games and make a move manually.

mctrivia: He's here every day, and definitely more than 3 hours a day. He's got plenty of time to move but for some reason, he delays his moves almost to the last second. He [modified - WQ]uses the vacation system in order to have for instance 12 days for a 7-day-per-move game. However, you wouldn't believe how fast he is in making moves when it's clear he's going to win a particular game. Lightning is a snail.
