A: Yes, it is possible to play faster games and many players on GameKnot make their moves multiple times per day (see "average time per move" stat on the player's profile page). The main reason why the very short time controls are not officially supported by GameKnot is because we have players from all over the world from many different time zones, and the time difference can put one of the players in a significant disadvantage.
You would need to check on your games several times per day every single day, as checking just once a day is not enough in case of only 24 hours per move. For example, if you check your games in the morning (before noon) one day and in the afternoon the next day, that's more than 24 hours, and you could lose any 1-day-per-move games by time-out if your opponent happens to make their move shortly after yours.
If you like to play very fast games, please simply check your opponent's "average time per move" stat to match your own. When starting an open challenge game, you can also set "Players making moves" option to "many times per day" (under "More options...").
We also support Fischer/incremental time control with as little as +1 day added to the clock after each move. It requires you to make fast moves most of the time, but also provides a safety cushion in case you need more time once in a while. It is used in
mini-tournaments and the
Ladder, and you can also select it when challenging another player to a game directly. Please refer to
question #20 for more information about the Fischer/incremental time control.
And lastly, if you are simply finding yourself wanting to play more and no games to make moves in, please simply
start or
join more games! Playing multiple simultaneous games is a very good way to improve your chess skills.
