Yep go on then. Sent you a 3 day timer game. I might not be able to get on every day/multiple times per day but will try.

So how does this work? Does the game end in three days and a winner is calculated or do you have a 72 hour timer per player and it just starts counting down as soon as it is there turn.

I tend to play on my phone while lying in bed at night; if you handle the thought of that I will add you a game some time. I'm currently rated about 470 .

The queens are gone, and we're doing a kind of slow mirror dance. The difference in play between games is one of things that makes chess great.

Each person gets 3 days to make a move. If you take longer then your opponent can claim victory.
There are many options to set, so games can be live, or 1 - 7 days per move, or no limit, timed so you only have a set period (e.g. 1h) to make all your moves, etc.

OK. Send me a game request when you're next free for a game and if I'm free we can do a blitz or rapid game

That was A quick game.

i appreciate what you are suggesting the only issue being if i am playing chess i’m not fully dedicating myself to the cheese.



Also i’m terrible at chess i’ve played it once with my sister who didn’t know hedgehogs were real…. and i lost.

No worries mate. I'm happy to play again if you want some practice

For a moment I wondered what chess piece you were calling a hedgehog. I'd say the castle is most hedgehog like.

I've just seen your request. I'll start a game. I had almost no sleep last night and a busy day at work, so I'm in no state for chessing this evening.
