Not to ruffle anyone's feathers, but in reading over the latest notes, I agree more with what Imchucking said, but I don't believe that most (notice I said "MOST") slow players are sitting there watching the minutes tick away before submitting a move, although I know of a few who I am sure were doing exactly that!

But something else bothers me, a problem similar to this discussion. In quite a few tournaments I am in, I am poised to go on to the second round, and the winner of the opposing section has been decided also, but some other insignificant game is keeping the second round from starting. I appreciate that the game is important to those playing it, but it is not consequential to the procession of the tournament, and this is the only site I have ever played on that did not have a constant recalculation process (after each finished game) to move the events along expeditiously.... Well, I can live with it, but it is a definite deterrent to enjoyment, always checking to see if one of these games is over, or how near it may be.

As for opponents who take too much time, whether by accident or design, I don't really believe there is any remedy, since there is no clear infraction of the rules.
