Asunto: Re:

Nothingness: No you're not. As you said, you play 10 moves, moving instantly when it's your turn. If you make your first move at 1 pm, and your last move at 10pm, and I constantly move one hour after you move, then I move at 11 pm, after which it takes 14 hours before you make your move. Those 14 hours means your average move time is 1h 24m, while my average move time is 1h. That's what average means, one takes into account all move times, not just the once that make you look good.

In such a scenario, I am the faster player.

Asunto: Re:

AbigailII: yes you are correct but in theory it is not (should not be) correct. there must be an exception where once a day you may be away for 8 hours { for sleep, we all need it eventhough some of us seem to always be on! =) } and not be punished. So there needs to a be a system in place that allows for that sleep time. punishing for sleeping! uggg.

Asunto: Re:

Nothingness: Yes. It's called "play a time control that one can manage". I repeat, if you need 8 hours sleep, and can manage to be online the remaining 16 hours, play with a time control that allows 8 hours away from the keyboard. I still recommend a time control of at least 24h/move. Because, even if you are 12hours/day online and manage to move instantly when it's your turn (while being online) and your opponent does the same, you still may manage only one move/day.

After all, the earth is a sphere.

Nothingness: Not 100%, there are some rare exceptions. Though some do (more commonly) suffer from sleep disorders, or a time where sleep patterns are disrupted (such as having a baby).. I don't see how you can say people are being punished for sleeping and to set up so many time rules or exceptions up would be just plain crazy!!
