Being a guy from the coast working inland can be quite tedious. The highways are great but nothing like a brilliant game of chess. I've played since I was very young and am very impressed with this site.
I enjoy speed games most. Prefering a 3 day timeout, zero timebank most because I only play from work during the week.
