No time limit?

Is there any way to have no time limit set for games with friends? I'm sometimes unable to access the internet for days/weeks at a time (due to work) As a result, it is guaranteed that I will lose the game due to timeout...

Have you tried correspondance chess?  You can play up to 14 days per move.

No, I have not tried that, thanks :) in saying that; is there no way of completely removing the time limit?

I dont believe so.

If all your friends have auto-claim on timeout turned off, it is essentially no time limit. I think there is a maximum of 60 days before the system will do the auto-claim in that case.

Yep, it's 60 days.

Thanks! 60 days should be plenty :)

The help page you found is no longer accurate. Can you please tell me how to set a game for 60 days?

The link in my last post still works and if you turn off auto-claim for daily, the Gena won't end until no none has been made for 60 days (or longer if vacation was used)

i found a glitch where u can have no time limit

go into time and press more time controls. change the value to something other than 0 or 1, then change it to 1. press fewer time controls and then press more time controls, and then press select.

it should say none
