I don't play that much chess, but:
If a player has 60 minutes for all their moves, then spend less then a minute for each move, until they are so far behind that in your mind, the game is over, now, they are spending 20 minutes on one move. And I have to still sit in front of the computer, because if I leave, they might make a move just before their timer runs out, hoping that I have already left the room, and now I will lose because it's my timer that runs out.
- BrazzVuvuzela 5y agoIsn't the idea to set the maximum time permitted per-move to match whatever your personal patience level is?
- hyperbovine 5y agoPlay a different time format then. I don’t understand players, several in this thread alone, who complain when their opponent uses some/all of the time that was allotted under the rules of the game that are agreed upon at the start. (I am similarly against the awarding of extra time.)
- esrauch 5y agoThere's a wide gray area but surely there's some point where you think a person is just being rude. Eg if someone mouse slips and blinders their queen on their 5th move in a 90 minute game. You have no concern with having to sit there for 1.5 hours where your opponent makes no further moves?
