Hello, fellow chess wizards, minus one! Me!
As far as friendly games are concerned, what is wrong with using the same time
control rule as is being used in the Ladder Tournament? I've been accused of
not being too patient; so if that applies here, then so be it. But seven days
sounds a bit too much. Why not use the five day time control as shown below
from the Ladder Tournament?
Time Controls: Five days total of reflection time is allowed each player for
the entire game. Time is counted from the time you receive a move and you
then have 24 hours to respond or you lose one day of your reflection time. Thus
if you receive a move at 5:00 PM local time, you have until 5:00 Pm the
next day to send your move without losing any reflection time. Only if you
exceed the 24 hour rule do you lose a day of reflection time. Times are based
on local email time stamp records, so keep both sent and received emails until
the game is completed. You lose on time only when you exceed the five days
not when you reach five days.
