C58 Two Knights: 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5 sidelines (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Qe2)

There are many things that I do not understand in this world and one of them is quite often discussed by chess players on a correspondence chess site. Some players don't seem to like that the game can last a long time but still they are playing correspondence chess (covers his head with his palm)... I mean there are quicker ways to play a game of chess from start to finish if that is what matters to you. There is one tournament where I play that has 14 days per move and some have dropped out of it because it has started to take too long to finish the games. So when they entered the tournament the thought of how long it could possibly take did not even cross their minds, I just do not understand these people. I do not have anything against these people of course they can do whatever they like and maybe next time they consider about the possible length before they join... I have never personally had anything against these very long thinking times. I even play in a tournament that has 21 days per move and 21 days in the bank. And probably vacation time also allowed though with those times, you would never need to have vacation time in addition to the game time. I have added a few more mate in ones and twos today.
