I disagree. I just checked the random position for screen chess and saw the king on d4. Not only would I never want to use that position, if my opponent had the same position the kings would start adjacent to each other. Is that allowed? And how do I get to see a different random position?
Of course a tournament is set to the pace of the slowest player. Everyone has to finish their games for the tournament to be completed. By signing up for a tournament, you agree to wait for the other players in it.
Games will not time out. Nothing stops players from using that to delay games, so such is allowed. I am not sure that this board is a suitable place for your personal complaints against Kevin.
If game time is suspended, that means that no one is required to move. If you don't like how quickly someone moves, then don't play them again. What more needs to be said?
Brian1971: If this site really used the US Chess Federation formula, my rating would always be raised by less than 16 points for winning against a lower rated player.
While we are discussing ratings, consider this:

You are the winner.
BuilderQ: old BKR = 1886, new BKR = 1910 (+24)
Jokl: old BKR = 1840, new BKR = 1813 (-27)
Game type: Chess
Why did I get less than my opponent lost, especially seeing as I had played LESS chess games in total?
ughaibu: the results of many matches are incorrectly recorded. Look at <A HRefhttp://brainking.com/game/Profile?u=9275&eg=16>this page; I have never really lost at spider line4.
All archived games are listed as having one more move then they actually had. See how on my game list line4 games are listed as having 33 moves, which is impossible.
