Pay attention to time controls!

Ok, that was 5 words but I threw in two as bonus words. ;)

I learned this the hard way and now limit myself to mostly 3 days per move tourneys. I'll go as much as 5 but that's it. If I sign up for a tourney that takes forever, it's on me. While I do find it annoying that some opponents take up all their allotted time, that's their right.

Ok, now I'm like way past the three words of advice.
