In chess there is what is called the "thread" of the game. Some people play many games over long periods of time and re-assess each position whenever they get back to the game. Many others, such as myself, prefer just a few games that move at a pace where you can remember what your plans are and what tactically is happening on the board. An inicator of like minded opponents would greatly assist us in getting the kinds of games WE want. If it's not the kind of games YOU want, then no harm-no foul. But the idea of those not interested in this feature dictating to those of us who are what form the feature, or lack thereof, should be is a little annoying. There are feature requests that others want that don't interest me but I don't stomp all over them or redefine what their desired solutions should be. If you don't mind games that last for months then more power to you. You already have what you want without joining some fellowship.

Seeing how there is such objections to a feature that would really help some of us and hinder nobody I shall now drop the subject.

ughaibu: Thanks for the heads up on the 1 day game but the player is rated almost 1,000 points lower.
