Subject: SUGGESTION

Message:
Some time ago I postponed all my games and I noticed a potential problem there. We all know that the tourney games aren't postponed, so here is a story:

I take a two weeks leave and go to see my mom who lives in a small village, my mom doesn't have an internet connection so only chance is to play at library. I can only play some 1hour/day 3 times/week so I want to limit my playing to minimum, (playing only tourney games that can't be postponed) so I postpone all my games 14 days. I'm having some 4 tourney games at that time. So first time I play the moves at library it's OK (4 moves), but after the second time people have the chance to cancel the postponement, some people do so. So I have to start playing moves in those games too, Then even more people notice that I'm actually playing moves!! "He is just prolonging the game!". So they cancel the postponements too, and soon I'm in real time trouble, since I have almost 40 games, many of them 3 days/move and usually quite a lot of them are in difficult middlegame positions.

So what am I suggesting? Playing the moves in tourney games shouldn't affect the postponement, since the postponement don't affect tourney games. It's only fair and just. Don't you agree?

Kind Regards,
Dozer

Hmm

It seems there is a new poll asking if the tourney games should be postponeable too, maybe there won't be such trouble in the future!
