Will there be some sort of countdown clock? As much as I buckle under the pressure when this happens (I lost my first ever chess tournament game this way by forgetting to tap my clock lol) I think it will make for a speedier game that won't drag on for too long, minimising the chance of someone having to forfeit the game due to an interruption or whatever.
Chess.com functions with a countdown. How long do people want? 30 minute total move time per person, or 45 minutes each?

Edit; (So - Live games by definition will have a countdown clock, to answer your question, Stick)

I'm definitely in!
Awesome!

Personally the quicker the better, so I'd prefer the 30 minute option (if not less) but am happy to play if the popular choice is for 45 minutes.

Cool, so we'll have pairings and updates on this thread, hopefully?

Just one more question - should we have a small increment (e.g. 3 or 5 seconds) per move?

I'm looking forward to it!

We'll have 30 minute time limits, which means someone could take 10 minutes to take one move, but they would  be wasting a valuable resource.

Oh, sorry! I mentioned on page 1-  but basically, I thought instead of me messaging the pairs and imposing times or whatever, I'd just leave it to people to PM between themselves and organise a mutually acceptable time. So - I'd get in contact with your opponent and swap usernames on a chess site that allows 30:30 time limits and play!

Damn, I totally stopped checking this thread right before this!

Yeah - you can definitely watch from chess.com when someone gives you the link!

Umm, I just received a phone call with some not too good news; I don't think I'm going to have the time to take part in this anymore. The 11th player can take my spot so the tournament doesn't get interrupted. My opponent and I haven't played yet. Ugh, I knew something like this would happen.

Hey Ned Nerb, I'm just a tad confused on how to actually set things up on chess.com. I've got an account ('roentgenium'), but I'm not sure how to challenge a specific person to a live 30 min game.

Thanks!
