Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Sumerian: *nod* they are thinking they will be busy in real life away from the computer, so they set a vacation day, but during the day they find a short time in which they can pop online for a few seconds and make a move in a few games (or maybe just read a message on a board) and hurry offline again being busy in real life :)
Sumerian: could be .. but doesnt have to be .. maybe the person who is online while using a vacation day has only limited time and cant move in all games (i often only move in my backgammon games while i leave my chess games (rarely play them) or froglet games for when i have more time
Sumerian: he could only use 30 vacation days max .. he has only 24 vacation days left so he cant keep using 11 days per move 50 moves long
the total time would be the normal time per move plus weekends without using vacation days .. the vacation days can only add a total of 30 days to the total sum (plus some weekend days which are covered because of the extra vacation days)
4 days per move becomes 6 days per move in most cases because weekend days being added ... would turn into 600 days for a game of 50 moves (minus some because of weekends 'missed') .. this is almost 2 years as well .. so calculating into the extremes a normal game of 4 days per move without vacation days would already take too long i guess
furthermore in your calculation you also assumed you would take 11 days per move as well :)
