I am the slowest player on Chess.com

my average is 32 hours - so maybe I'm the slowest

 yes i think, i thought i was slow with 24h, but you should get a trophy

For others who are slow like me (or who don't mind playing us slow pokes), I have created a new group called the The Chess Turtles!!  Everyone is welcome!!

http://www.chess.com/groups/view/the-chess-turtles

Hey.. Billium.. Just enjoy as long as you are not deliberately doing so.. Relax.. Yes try to lessen number of games, if possible

I'm at 14 hours.

I can't join, I'm at 2 hrs 9 min

 You don't have to play slow to join the Chess Turtles, you just have to have enuf patience to play with those of us who ARE slow.

i'm not entirely sure, i'm at 8 hrs and 9 min

Amusing thread.

I took notes when darius and artfizz were discussing mathematical algorithms for chess (there are, strangely, some good tips for beginners sprinkled throughout), but that was quite a bit of topic deviation!

I nominate Hypergraphia as the slowest first responder to a thread - coming in at #83. (There may be slower first responders - but they haven't moved yet.) Billium248's ambiguity regarding slowness is lamentable. Were he dead (perish the thought), I could have referred to the late Billium248. Perhaps he is the slowest (in a mental agility sense) player on chess.com?

I fear for Hypergraphia's chess playing on the basis of the lessons he has drawn from discussions in this thread. The proof on interestingness was, technically speaking, a load of dingo's kidneys. Were he to follow the algorithmic approach to solving chess, he could safely lay claim to being the slowest player in this - or any other - universe.

In a further nod to Gödel's Strange Loops, it appears that Billium248 may be both the slowest AND the fastest   (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/group-hysteria) player on chess.com.

I Kwow why HEs SLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

it cause he is a chess turtle and slow and steady wins the race

 Thanks for the heads up about the group.  I just joined.  At an average time per move of 1 day and 5 hours, I am sure I qualify as a turtle!

Thanks again,

George

Ekina's account has been closed (something to do with slow play?), the most I have seen is 2 days 17 hours.

I used to have over two days per move.  I lost a lot of my games on time.  My time per move is better now.

pretty annoying

Holy expressions, Batman!

The translation into Spanish would be "¡Santas!" or "¡Santos!".

For example, if they were talking about a mad man who's planning to take over Gotham City by a complex computer system, Robin would say:

Holy computers, Batman!

Which would be translated as:

¡Santas computadoras, Batman!

(of course, anybody familiar with Batman and Robin would know that)

(I just guess our dear Diana here is not much of a fan)

What's the Spanish word for 'Batman' ?

    Ordenanza???

Or is it considered unlucky to translate Batman into Spanish??? and an alternative word has to be found (as in the case of 'Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Bunny' (for which a special edition had to be produced for the Isle of Portland)).

I'd say Hombre Murciélago. Quite a mouthful. (native spanish speakers would know best, though).

Ordenanza is a different type of batman.

Well I didn't bother to read through the whole forum, but I know that my average time/move is at 26 hrs/move.

I am a (very) slow player too. That's why, I guess, I don't play too much live games here. Having 3 days per move is much better for me
