Battle players of similar skill in a timed contest that gives each player a certain net amount of time to play!"For example, in any given Timed League game, players A and B will each have 3 hours to make their moves for the designate game. Player A goes first. Since s/he just initiated the game, let's assume that he moves within the first 3 minutes. Player A has used 3 minutes up of his allotted time, and has 2 hours, 57 minutes remaining to use for the rest of the match. Player B, even though he just clicked the Timed League game, did so right before heading downstairs to work on his 1/100th-sized Edam cheese model of the Titanic. And good golly, he left his mobile device upstairs because it was charging and his Edam cheese workshop doesn't have any electrical outlets in order to eliminate the possible rise of the ambient temperature near his masterpiece. He works through the night and gets all of the deck chairs completed, while the game he started upstairs stagnated for his 3 allotted hours, and then he automatically resigned when his last grain of sand fell.

I don't think your suggestion of a timed league is practical. First of all, players here come from all around the world so they play at different time zones. Yeah I know, you shouldnt start a game if you dont have the time but if you have time restrictions as short as that, the game will be a matter of who can stay awake longer. With your 3 hour suggestion alone, if the two players maximize the time in taking turns (lets say they each make a move at around 2 hours and 30mins.) then in just 8 turns into the game its already at 20hours. People have to sleep at some point dont they?

Theres also the problem of match making which youll encounter once you rise higher in rank. (the system haves a hard time in pairing you cause theres no one playing near your rank) If you start a timed league and you dont immediately get matched, lets say it took 18 hours for you to get matched and the game started as you were about to go to bed. game over. rank down.

but of course you could play it out and not sleep.. Confused

One day we will get to that point of intellectual development and it shall truly be a feat of human achievement to sing from the heavens!

i don't think you should be making comments like that unless you can play at maximum efficiency (make the best possible move) in 1 sitting. and I dont see you in the number 1 spot..

So yeah, sorry you assumed I wasn't busy. I enjoy picking up my iPad, pushing aside some biometrics, and making a move or two while walking from 1 point in the hospital to another. I enjoy playing a game I paid for when I would like. I do not like otherwise.

Well of course most of us can make the move if we really want to but sometimes we prioritize other things so we dont make the move immediately.

"I enjoy playing a game I paid for when I would like." I guess your opponent could say the same. Just because you want to play doesnt mean your opponent wants to play at the same moment.
