Otherwise, no there's nothing to do, and there shouldn't be. Everyone's entitled to their time, the time both of you agreed to before the start of the game. |

My advice, try to challenge some "fast player", you can find them with an advanced search. Also, don't hesitate to add them on your buddy list. I know a lot of fast player, if you want i can tell you a few by private message . You can challenge me also |

As mentioned above,not much you can do about the "stall type"of player.Those type of players even exist on the senior master levels as well,believe it or not!By definition,they are not actually stalling according to the rules,they are just following the rule guidelines and would argue so accordingly.But there is a gray area(as I call it)that falls under a level of sublime chess etiquette.The reverse should be voluntarily employed,as it does mostly on my level of play....which is that an opponent should not slow down,time-out,take a vacation or anything else,but SPEED UP his response time and/or resign.Most of the time,I resign even if i'm down 2 pawns,but thats me,not necessarily another player. I suggest alot of conditional moves,especially if your opponent is in a mating net,then forget about the game and go on to others.Other suggestions are to play 2 day games,not 3 day as I see you mainly accept.Those 2 day players are usually not stall type of personalities. Can't do 2 day move games?Then you are not as quick as you think,and must not be discontent with others.Most of my games are 2 day games and my ave move time is like 1.4 hours.And I manage this with 10 hour work days and a family to attend to.So it's not hard to do....atleast if you play a small handful of games like me....usually no more than 5 or 6 at a time. In the start game additional options box,you must specify..."several times a day"or "many times a day" for your upcoming opponent.Also look for players that have like 4 or 5 hour ave.move time(or less!) and no time-outs or less than 3% time-outs.And believe it or not,the players that are playing 50+games are usually quick to move,many times quicker than a 6 game player!They have to be,or they will fall behind!So look for those players as well.An added bonus is that players that take on too many games are more prone to errors,less qualitative play and time-out(which is in your point favor anyway!) And simply remember to never play that opponent that you are discontent with again,if possible,unless its some kind of tourney.None of these guidelines guarantee anything,but they usually work better than not. Ha,there is one senior master player that has more stall and delay,time-outs and more than I have ever come across in 40 years!This player moves slower than a postal player with severe arthritis.I won't play that opponent again,even if he hands me 10 games!So don't feel bad amacivn!

In reality,I have always preferred OTB over correspondence play....unlike many of the younger players today.Face to face,a good Staunton set,nice clock,onlookers.I'll even eat some pickled herring like Fischer did in 1972 to distract my opponent and make sure the wind is blowing his direction!Yes,I prefer OTB.So my GK opponents will have to wait for a while till I decide to open up the bottomless "abyss"again! Au revoir, TA |
