i can't comment on your specific situation but many times in the opening I tend to move quicker as I am following my own lines. If the game gets complicated I tend to epend more time. Also if I have many games going I tend to rotate and positions where I am worse tend to move to the back of the queue. Also many times family obligations cam limit my chess time. As long as they are miving within the game time limits you really have no complaints against them as they are behaving properly and are not just stringing out a lost position which is annoying but again within their rights.
Move. Its your Turn

Perhaps they are taking longer as when you're losing you tend to think more about a given position? Remember to consider all possibilities. Although, of course, some people delay games because their rating is too precious to them.

I agree, if you are playing people who move slowly, use conditional moves, and maby create more game.

I dont have any grudge against them. otherwise I would have referred you to the games which i am mentioneing and you could witness it yourself that they are left with no options.
In a game that I played with a much high ranked player where I thought he had made a specific mistake and I dared to share it with him with my excuses. I told him that in three moves he will have to lose his queen after that wrong move and if he tried to save his queen he would get a Check-Mate in two moves, he not only appreciated my calculations but also resigned.
I think you are right. Some people love their ranking and wont let it break till last breath. May be I should keep in mind, "Five fingers are not the same".

those people are crazy morons and suck really bad. Besides, they are a pain in the neck
ONce I cared about my rating very much, but now I see that it's just a bunch of approximated numbers trying to determin you chess skills.

if my "only paying members can start threads" rule was in place, this thread would not exist... get it?
not that this dude doesn't deserve to be able to get this off his chest, but maybe he could have found a thread (or 60) already devoted to this subject.

Well if you have already digested 60 threads like this, this should cause no harm to your patience.

it's not about patience it's about legitimacy.
did you not read what i said? you deserve to be able to rant. next i bet you'll start a thread about vacations right?

when I have a tough position I sometimes feel as if I can't handle it right now, and sometimes delay certain games for another time... every day I have 1 or 2 games that I just can't seem to find the right moves in, if I just return to the game a day later I find making the move easier.
I don't so it because I want the game to be longer, I do it to avoid making a bad move.

How much would you like to bet?

i understand your positon well.i play in another sight ,one guay lost a game,and he called me lucky ...i played again telling him to be polite.soon he lost his queen.he used expletives.again i pointed to him to behave.he told me to shutup.which i did,and bet him solidly.they vent their anger like that.i told myself let your game do the talking and let the sight incharges deal with them.i forgot the incident .i am feeling better.forget them and deal with the next game.good luck.

I could not agree more. After Having a shut call from an opponent when I stopped writing any further messages, he pushed me by stating, "not so keen making any more statements?" and I replied , "Let this board make the final statement".
And after disabling the chat and blocking my messages, the remark that he made would ebarrasse any chess player in the world; "THE GAME MEANS NOTHING".
ALAS!

I have played so far 23 completed games. I have never unneccessarily delayed a move and all those who have played (or are playing) agisnt me would acknowledge the fact.
Unfortunately I happened to engage with a couple of players who had to play two simultaneous games agaisnt me. No doubt, they are better players. They defeated me in first game (each). But in the second game where I acquired a bit better position (not without a die-hard effort), they seem to have stopprd moving that frequently as they were when game was in their control.
It is not that they might have not had the time.............. I have seen them logged in but not moving for many hours. And when I shared my feeling with one of those he gave me a shut-up call as he was sick of people telling him what he ought or ought not to.
I have always displayed my utter respect to the players ranked higher than me and have always tried to keep those motivated who are lower (than me) ranks.
" I am online, Its my turn, I know that no move could save me, but because I have some days/hours left, why should I move early?"
Guide me guys .................. WHAT IS THIS ATTITUDE?
But, tell me. In what way is your opponent moving slow such an inconvenience to you that you have to pressure him to do something which he is totally in his rights not to do? I'm on your opponent's side here. It would be just about as logical for me to ask you to play slower..
