In my defence it is only recently that quick games have become desired and I tend to do this on gameknot where I resigned a whole lot of games to floor my rating (only so I could start again). I have become aware that I have been fooling myself and I need to start living in the real world reagrding my ability, it's obvious to me that you are a much better player than me, but I still can't get my head around that guy yesterday who says he is a bcf 163 which as you say is 2065 elo but only has a current 1448 rating here.
Just search the Players List for current fast movers and challenge them.
Sometimes I feel like a fast game, sometimes you want a good game. Its easy, search out the right opponents.
Edit:
ahh got it, I just spotted the move frequency option at the bottom of the players directory, I had not noticed that before.

I rather play soimeone with 100 moves a day with 10 games than 100 moves a day with 100 games going.
When I was a non-sub I have the same problem about slkow movers. But when I becam a subscriber, I don't care. I just start another game with someone else or enter a tournament or something. There is always a lot of games with my turn in My Games. I don't anymore have problem with slow players, my new problems are that I myself don't have time enough to make *my* moves

Originally posted by FabianFnasYeah I know what you mean but I want to get away from a heavier gameload where I have to keep reminding myself what the hell I was doing and what my plan was (I don't tend to use the notebook facility that much), I like the continuity of a shorter gameload with more frequent moves and that is definately the direction that I want to go in.

...any advice on how to find fast players?

Originally posted by buddy2I have finished games in one day....Actually in several hrs....Then on the other hand I have had one going since Nov.11/06 closing in on two months....What is considered an average time to complete a correspondence game???
Correspondence and fast play...I dunno. Seems like whatdoyoucallit? Oxymoron? Like going on a blitz site and complaining people move too fast.

Originally posted by Dragon FireI agree...Although I have had some good fast games also...But then good to you and good to me probably are not the same, considering our ratings 😀
