How long has it been just the one game everyone is waiting on?

Two years to the day. How can a game seriously go on for?? Surely there can be no satisfaction in playing that slowly?? Madness...

I'd imagine that's what real CC tournaments are like. Annual championships often finishing at the start of another championship years down the line. 😛

That's why there haven't been many CC world champions. 😉

Edit: If you ever get a hold of MotownDave, it might be worth asking him how long his tournaments go on average.

I play a bit of real life correspondence as well as on here. The time limit is somewhat different to what we are used to here, rather then having a certain limit for each move it tends to be something like 30 days for each 10 moves which speeds them up considerably as people dont really like to put themselves under pressure by slacking on their moves. The last time I played, both games were won by my opponents forgetting about the games and getting timed out.
Also, in this version they allow the use of computers so the game quality tends to be higher.

Yes it started today. How any game of chess can genuinely require that much time just blows my mind! 🙄
