Your POV on playing long game?

Can you explain your POV when you play long game(ex. 1 day, 7 day)?

What are you thinking about?

You are describing correspondence chess, which this site calls “Daily” over the objections of those who answered the survey about what to call it. A central pleasure and benefit of such chess is the research aspect. See http://chessskill.blogspot.com/2015/06/applied-study.html

I advice against it, as it is too inhomogeneous. Some people play a few games only and analyse for hours, other play many games and analyse for seconds only.

The Daily format allows you to play GOOD chess games, where the moves actually MEAN something... instead of the usual thud-and-blunder "I can make crappy moves faster than YOU can" contest.

I played correspondence chess regularly for a quarter century. It helped my game.

I never played one day per move and only fell into two day by accident. Three days per move was my norm. Most games on servers such as chessdotcom take three months. Some have taken a year. With postcards, one year was closer to the norm, but many lasted longer. Email games are usually fast unless your email provider has issues with the provider your opponent uses (I had one match extended beyond two years because of this issue).

I think daily games are fine, but 30 or 60 minute games are in my opinion more accurate because you actually have a time limit. That makes it closer to OTB games. 30 minute is my favorite time control.

It made sense 50 years ago, where you could do research. Now that we have chess engines, where do you draw the line between cheating and "researching"?

Research static sources: books and databases

Avoid: engines, tablebases (which you can't read without an engine for the most part, anyway)

Simple. The rules are clear.

Then, however, you become suspicious that your opponent has stepped over the line.

The Cheat Detection Team has pretty good software for detecting engine monkeys.

Indeed. I was mildly concerned about cheating in correspondence games, but the one time I ran into it, I was quickly refunded my lost rating.

Personally, I've been enjoying playing correspondence recently since I'm trying to improve a bit, though the one game I've recently finished was because I made the kind of blunder that should only be seen in bullet chess...

I've done many of those by playing on my iPad first thing in the morning.
