Hi all. I’m playing a correspondence game with a friend. We now live in very different time zones and are never online at the same time. I have a very poor connection, so I can’t come on often. The result is that each of makes only one or two moves a day and time is running out. I’m used to playing on DGS with Fischer time where one move a day is not a problem. On KGS there is a button for adding extra time to your opponent, but I don’t see such an option here. I have only 6 days left on my time, but we’re only on Move 19. We really enjoy playing each other and want to finish our game, but how?

Could you use the “fork game” option whenever one of you runs out of time? It’s not a perfect solution, but it will keep the game going without too much hassle. I think. I have not actually tested that feature myself.

Why not just pause the game? You still can make moves while it’s paused.
But next time you can create a correspondence game without any time limit or, say, +28 days for each byo-yomi period (basically, 1 move per month). Such game may last many years

OGS has Fischer time. Did you pick a different standard when you created the came? Most allow a move a day.

I didn’t create the game, but I also didn’t know OGS has Fischer time. I’ll make sure we use that next time, thanks!

Pausing worked! I had assumed that pausing the game would not allow me to play. Thanks.
Traveller pointed out that OGS has Fischer time, so we can use that next time.
