I want to raise the topic of delays in the game when a turn is not accepted.
Circumstances: in the last two games, opponents stalled on accepting the turn every round for various reasons: one was drinking, and the other was playing a parallel game. In both cases, out of 6 hours of "gameplay" — at least 2 hours were spent waiting for the opponent to accept the turn.
I understand that the opponents have "circumstances," but I don't understand why another player should suffer because of it. I think everyone has been in a waiting mode — not necessarily in the game — waiting for someone to show up late for a meeting or, for example, a train. Indeed, during that time you can occupy yourself with something, but you still realize that you are simply killing time, and almost everyone wants to reduce that waiting time. Why do some players allow themselves to drag out games? And not just once for 15 minutes, but almost every damn turn out of 14, simply not accepting the turn for 15-20 minutes? Because the rules allow it and it is not forbidden in any way.
Personally, I consider this to be, at the very least, disrespectful to the opponent (and if bluntly, it's just a dick move). Can't play properly? Reschedule the game. Think you're a hotshot playing two games at once? — Why should I suffer because of it? Personally, this mode gave me a headache and gave me nightmares. And instead, I could have just rested and relaxed (on a day off, no less).
Suggestion: In the HD mod, alongside the chess timer checkboxes, there is another checkbox: "Start timer after accepting the turn."
Description: "Start the game timer countdown only after closing the window that informs the player that the turn has been passed to them."
By default, this option is enabled. If disabled, the timer for the other player starts immediately after one player finishes their turn, regardless of whether they have accepted the turn or not.
I propose for tournament games, at the request of one of the players, to disable this option.
Perhaps in this case, the timer per turn should be increased by 10-15 seconds. That is, if it was 24:00+08:30+01:30 for Jebus Cross, then change it to 24:00+08:45+01:30
