In Response To: Backgammon is not chess (Taper_Mike)

In backgammon, The 12 seconds delay is to cope with the several seconds overhead of physically shaking, rolling and moving. Chess does not have this level of overhead. IMHO, removing the delay from backgammon would cause far more problems than it solves.
