When playing online it's often difficult to keep in perspective there is real person staring down at the board, focused an concentrating on the competition at hand.

There's nothing more frustrating for people to have to wait long periods for you to play, especially at times when your move decision seems straight forward.

If you are playing someone who is chronically taking too long to roll, too long to complete a move, you can make polite communication in the chatboard. Example:

Quote:The pace is too slow for me. Are you having issues playing now? Do you want to pause and pickup later? I don't want you to rush. I want your best game. But not every move needs more than a few seconds to complete. Can we pick up the pace please?

Hi all.

I could not see the "Matches Underway" box, a useful tool that lists current matches being played.

This box is one of several that can be closed or opened per your preference.

If you are not seeing the "Matches Underway" box on the Openplay Parlour page, you probably closed it. You can re-open it. From the top-left-corner menu, the hamburger menu.

Anyway before calling for help, consult the hamburger menu - the answer might well be there!

Best regards
