Min and Max time per move

Sort:

In my settings I have a min and max time per move set to 1 day. However anybody in my friends list can challenge me to a game and these parameters get ignored. Is there anyway to have friends subject to certain parameters for games and to have games refused if they dont fall into these catagories?

Yes.  In your online chess settings, if you uncheck the box next to 'Friends OK!' it will subject your friends to the same challenge restrictions as anyone else.

The problem I have is that some friends have a very low rating but being friends with to accept any game requests from them. However I dont want to accept challenges from strangers with low ratings.

If I subject friends to the same criteria as everybody then either I will recieve challenges from anybody no matter what their ratings or I automatically refuse friends.

It is really the time issue that I was hoping to work out here. I dislike really long games so any games I create have a 1 day per move maximum but a lot of challenges I get are 3 days per move. I was hoping to be able to automatically refuse those. I have mentioned this to friends and they do create 1 day games but seeing as 3 days is the default most of the time they forget and 3 days per move challenges is what I get.

Not sure if I am explaining what I mean properly :)

I think the easiest thing would be to refuse the challenges from your friends that don't fit your criteria, and then send back a challenge of your own.  Employ strongarm tactics to get them to accept your terms if necessary!  Any way you go about it, you'll have to refuse somebody.

Guess so, I just thought there was possibly settings for general and then settings for friends.

Thanks for your input. :)
