In Response To: "If it (the clock) ain't broke, don't fix it" (Colin Owen)

hey colin = thanks i have been playing on & off for years. & suddenly it occurred to me that yes the rules as they are make it less of a game chess players have to move 1 or two sometimes 3 pieces & then manually record

some delay okay & it s not needed with the proper time allotment per game/ match

touch move of some sort essential. best rule you touch it you move it. if moved illegally opponents choice. you release it its done!

re timing out when ahead. Happens often in chess tough! everyone has the same time to begin with! personally i dont see whats fair about waiting for mr sloth either, as long as you got me ranting all this picture taking during matches . save it for your vacation or if you are clocked shoot away on you time i appreciate your encouragement of my general concepts & the resistance seems so overwhelming that i m not sure if i wanna continue the fight
