Artful Dodger:
That is good advice. Pawns play a small number of games so every game matters to them and they sometimes begrudge a slow player taking up one of their slots. I am playing a lot of games at a 3-5 day per move rate but some at a 10-15 a move rate. I have about 200 games on the go and perhaps make 60- 100 moves a day. The point is the 10-15 moves a day game takes a week to get into my top 100 games if my opponent responds within 24 hours. I could of course reduce the number I am playing to 60-100 so I could move every day in every game but I want there to be games to play whenever I go onto the site. That’s why I pay a membership fee. Similarly if I am playing against a lot of slow players and I am not getting enough games I just increase the number of games I am playing.

I only see the rate of play being an issue for pawns (and admittedly knights) but as AD said the answer is don’t enter a tournament with a time limit you are not prepared to play. I’ve also heard people complaining a time limit is too fast, same applies.

Justaminute: well said,  I play a lot of games because I want there to always be games when I log on, that's why I have a membership and that's why I like this site the best

beach: The same here too.

beach:exactly :) That said, if an opponent asks me politely, I'm always glad to make a move in a game with them whenever possible.
