Dear abort-happy black player

Dear black player,

I know it's a blitz game, but can you give me more than 4 seconds to make my first move? Please do not be so abort-happy.

Anybody else get frustrated at this? Can I take a breath and decide if I want to go e4 or e5 for God's sake?? :)
Well, I give people 10 seconds. And how do you go e4 or e5 on your first move? :P
At least, if they abort a game joined from the lobby they get a 'speed bump' as reward for aborting that fast.

As for the coordinates, he plays with a 90 degrees clockwise rotated board of course. It's the most popular configuration in movies and such it seems.
Lol the one I hate is if you're white and do an opening your opponent doesn't like... and they abort!
