Let's avoid personal attacks.

How can you claim that it's not allowed? I think it is. Who are these players? Are we even going to talk about people? Why are you afraid to tell the truth about the slow players?

The rules don't have a clause that limits a player's time for thinking. And technically, if a player is thinking during a battle, they aren't breaking any rules.

I don't think it's necessary to name any nicknames because these players aren't breaking any rules, even if they take 30 minutes on turn 111.

If you justify these players' actions by citing the rules, then why don't you also support their expressed desire regarding the timer?

Because you need to change not the people, but the system.

Yegor, the point of my post was that you performed well during the tournament, thanks in no small part to Vitaly, but then your results declined. Regarding Kilgore, I didn't watch. Your results definitely dropped, and that's what I'm talking about, and it's true, so don't get upset.
You performed well
You were talking about players (in the first message), which means you were specifically considering my performance.
Your results definitely dropped
What dropped? Back then, I won 50% of my games, and now I still win 50% of my games (my skill was above average then, and it still is now). Don't you understand what I'm saying? I clearly remember that tournament; my opponents were roughly Pyr, Vinceras, Observer, and Darkello in the final. Everywhere, the statistics were either 2-2, 1-2, or 2-1.
If you compare my current results with the results of our team, they have definitely dropped ((top 1-2 player on the forum + top 6 player on the forum + top 40 player) / 3 >> top 40 player). You have to be completely out of your mind to make such comparisons – sorry, I'm getting worked up. If you compare my personal skill, nothing has dropped, that's for sure. You're just wrong, and you can't admit it.
You can tell me on what basis you assessed my skill back then and my skill now.

It won't happen overnight, or in a year, but in 2, 3... years, change will still come.

I haven't heard any complaints about you. You can model for a joke or hear the wrath of your opponents. There is a big difference. When your opps start calling you that, will you like it? Prevention isn't a panacea, but it is one way to speed up the game in SoD timer. When they rush you in reports, messages, and conversation, it will definitely bear fruit within yourself. This is called implantation into minds. Not immediately, not in a year, but in 2, 3... change will come regardless. Even Satyr reproached me; I'll play faster now, and he probably will too.

Okay, so we'll be waiting for your "enlightenment." It's like a kindergarten. I just dream of meeting you in a tournament and demonstrating the delights of the "True SOD Timer" :)

Simply, if a person takes a long time to think, it doesn't mean they're doing it intentionally, it doesn't mean they're bad – they're just like that, and you can't blame them for it. I also like to take extra time to think, to weigh my decision, if the game's resources allow it. You can't say, "Hey, hurry up with your turn."

But the point isn't that at all, but rather that current trends suggest a move towards using a chess timer. There's no need to conduct polls to understand that the overwhelming majority of players are in favor of a chess timer. Why resist the obvious?

In reality, the argument is pointless anyway; 90% of games will still be played with a chess timer by agreement.
