I sympathize with BG's earlier comments. I've entered quite a few tournaments with longer time limits, thinking that would not matter, and MAN, DID I EVER GET BURNED!!? Now I'm stuck in events, including some in which I finished my games many weeks ago, due to the fact that one player or another--who has way too many games going--is moving almost constantly at the "11th hour".
Nothing to do but wait.... and wait.... and wait.... and wait.... However, when browsing the tournament list, I no longer even consider those listings that have time limits greater than 5 days, and I'm even a bit hesitant at that level.
It has been argued that an access problem or emergency could cause some timeouts. I thought that is what the "autovac" policy was for. Even so, I would rather deal with that than the slow play alternative; after all, there will be other tournaments, other times.
(nascondi) Se vuoi giocare contro un avversario del tuo livello, puoi definire un BKR minimo ed uno massimo per ogni nuova partita che intendi creare. In questo modo nessun giocatore che non sia all'interno di questa fascia di rating potrà vedere o accettare il tuo invito. (Katechka) (mostra tutti i suggerimenti)
