When both players leave the game, turns keep being skipped, as seen here:

We both left the game and my turn was skipped, then his, then mine and so on. I ended up winning. My suggestion/bug find is that skipping a turn should be stopped after 1 turn so this doesn’t happen. We sometimes stop playing the game and then keep going the next day which is not possible if we still want live time control. Also you should only have the possibility to skip a move or to either give them more time or wait for them to return to make your move in my opinion.

^ the only way it could be done

I feel like this would invalidate the point of live games tho

#

if you play a live game, don't step away

#

how would the game be unpaused anyway?

Yeah, the point of Live Games is to play it in one sitting

Use 24 hours

In general I see no problem with a Pause button though. If both sides agree to pause the game it would be fine I think. Nothing too urgent but would be a nice addition imo at least

One problem with a pause button is: when does it unpause?
