Some years ago that 20 moves in 1 hour repeated a long time. My game against Korchnoi was 7 hours long. 60 10, with an expected length of average 60 moves (computers usually play long games as they play till mate when unattended) We talk here about a game that lasts 140 minutes. So that's with lag added about at most 2 and a half our. Why would even such a short level already be too long for internet dudes? I smell a mentality: "Just play the game to and let it be over soon in order to get quickly results" If i join, i join to chat with my opponent. I join to slowly let the game remain forever in my brain. I don't join knowing that the game is gonna be over soon anyway. Greetings, Vincent
