I'm not complaining about when the person is sitting down trying to think about what the best move is... I'm talking about what the person is doing other then trying to think about the move, to gain the upper hand that is frustrating.

I'm not implying they are bad sports... the game allows them a 5 day grace period in which they are allowed to wait until they take their turn. I just think it really kills some of the excite built up within the game.

Honestly, I just find it frustrating when a person whom changes from taking their turns consistently (insert a certain amount of times here) per day to once every few days because they are in a losing situation. Once again nothing wrong about it but it is a drag.

Then I'll make my move at night. Sometimes you get a flash of inspiration when you just think about a problem for awhile.

Well, that's alright in my book because your taking your time to take your move and you still take it.
