why does it take so long for some others to move I've been sitting here for 20 minutes waiting for my opponent to make a move.

Because, since it's correspondence chess, your open games have time controls of 1 day per move and 7 days per move respectively

Highly quotable in a correspondence chess site. :-D

One of the best of the year!

Sandman7, don't let this little misunderstanding fool you, correspondence chess is very addictive, you will love if you give it some time!

Cheers,
Beco.
