Time Control +

+ +

+For everyone's enjoyment, please respect the pace requests! +If someone wants a fast game, don't join if you can only play one move per day. + +

Live +: +Let your opponents know if you're going away! +If you need to resume the game another day, arrange a time when you can all continue, +or agree to continue playing at a different pace. + +
Fast +: +Turn on notifications so you can take your turns promptly. +If you see that your opponent is online (the dot next to their name is filled in) +then stay in the game for a while and perhaps you can play live for a bit. + +
Slow +: +If you create a game and know you can not play more than one move per day, +please pick this option to set the appropriate expectations. + +
Any +: +Anything goes. Read the game notice and adapt! + +
