1. At work, you can always click "ctrl+S", then "Enter", letting your opponent know beforehand that you're playing from work. This is much more respectful and clear than making your opponent wait 20 minutes for your "battles."
2. It's been clear for a long time that the so-called "sod-timer" is archaic because it often negates the difference in skill. For example, for the same battle, a top player might take 2 minutes to complete it with minimal losses, while an average player takes 5 minutes. With a chess timer, this can have a decisive impact on determining the outcome of the game. I don't even understand what the argument is about. If we're talking about a casual game, then of course, the timer doesn't matter. But when it comes to identifying more skilled players in tournaments, the "sod-timer" is simply ridiculous.
p.s. Sorry if this is off-topic, I just saw a discussion here and decided to write.
