Yes, I've played some of the longest games ever on this site, but slow players are by no means endemic to Brainking. They are pretty much on every site. It does hold up tournaments for me on here but I can play plenty of tournaments on other sites with less restrictions. Besides, sometimes I can be slow too (from burnout or move contemplation) but I once start moving quickly again that's usually a bad sign for my opponent. Sometimes I would think if anyone ever asked me to move faster in those phases, I would say, "Why are you in such a rush to lose?" LOL So, being on both sides, I can understand all the frustration. It's best to stick to the time limits that work best for each individual person and to avoid those players that frequently move too slow or timeout.
