Game of time ?!?!

Someone of us are just thinking to play with thinking time rules as a part of correspondance chess game is a fine and sportsman like behavior. I don't think so: It is just childish and primitive - nothing to do with the culture and art of a chess game!

Re: Game of time ?!?!

Hello Wolfgang.

Should this post be included in another thread ?!

Re: Game of time ?!?!

Hello Thibault, please have a look on the behavior of one of the players in our common tournament #002. I find no other way as shaking my head on it!

I must say this is a quite strange strategy, if it is... Several 2300+ players continuously are in zeitnot (and finally loose some games on time). I don't think it can influence 'much' the play at correspondence chess time controls so that's probably their only way to manage time. Some can't play faster, obviously... Some also play at IECG, ICCF and so on. Anyway nothing can prevent that...


Wolfgang Utesch    (2006-10-13 19:26:48)

The point is that only one player seems to be in zeitnot, but NO - it is just his tactic (in all games) - strange attitude - he loves it to do his last move before new time count (after move 10, 20 etc) always in the last minute.

Re: Game of time ?!?!

Strange... that's the word. But I'm quite sure he's a strange guy too :)


Wolfgang Utesch    (2006-10-14 04:30:07)

Legal doing is not the same as right and good doing! When a player stops always at move 9, to do the 10th in last minute (mostly after a long time period of inactivity) is this strange. I think, i have enough experiences in correspondance chess to differ this from normal handling with zeitnot. By the way, at the same time he has also enough time to discuss in this forum copiously.

Game of time ?!?!

You cognizned yourself - this could be the best way to change your mind! You can play so many games as you want - maybe it is not reasonable! Also it is not your use to full capacity of time in your games, but the way you're doing. If you are ill, you should take a time out - best wishes for your convalescence!

No lessons learned - the same procedure as before! Our specialist for the last minute stays faithful to himself.

Try and relax a little Utesch, I know it can be frustrating, it would frustrate me also. But De Silva seems sincere to me. Just my two cents worth my friend....Wayne
