Boards To Think On

Boards To Think On

Boards To Think On is the slowest section on this site, and that is the point. Every title here has a board that waits rather than a timer that chases, so you can stop midway through a move to answer a message and come back without losing your position. We choose boards that give you enough information to make a correct decision but not enough to make it obvious, because that is where the pleasant work of thinking lives. Games that need reflexes, that bury their rules inside menus, or that wipe the board when a clock runs out do not enter this list. One session here usually runs eight to fifteen minutes, and the board stays exactly as you left it, including when your phone shuts down because the battery gave out.
