I find that i can't think as far infront in 10-15 sec games, even 20sec games. Do you find the they hamper you a lot?

Not really a game related query as such, please use either game shouts, or general chat for discussions of this nature in the future.

No worries there, welcome to the forums!

Well, anyone who's played me knows i always play 10 second games.

For me, its a matter of concentration. In longer games i just can't concentrate while waiting for an age for people to play their shot and therefore my play suffers as a result.

Thanks ste

I find, the longer you've played for, for me instance, I've played for a year. So I know where to put the cursor because I've done it so many times

I'v had a 107 on 10 second game before but it took too much concentration! 15 - 20 seconds is a good time limit for me

i play 20 sec games, if you can master 10 secs its an advantage because most people cant do it

For me even 20 secs is often too short if I want to deploy my real game. 25 is my quality-certified minimum, 30 is the best!

As for smaller limits than 20 secs, I never ever join such games, as I know I would be totally unable to play.

I thought only the older people can't think fast... am I already too old?

Generally 20 secs for me but i will play 15 seconds as it doesn't affect my ability much. Recently though i have been creating games 25-30 seconds for some reason. No idea why lol.

And martin, you are already too old.

Don't worry - i'm an old timer and happy with 10 secs.

Personally, i dont see it as think fast, but thinking ahead. This is especially true if you're on your own break, you already know what your next shot will (hopefully, in my case!) be so why wait
