40 moves, in 2 hours & 30 minutes: "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!! ..SH!T"!
 
40 moves, in 2 hours: "STILL TOO SLOW, YOU JERK"!
 
40 moves, in 90 minutes: "You're getting 'warmer'; But, in that time-span, I'd sooner 'riff' on my guitar, with my band.
 
40 moves, in 60 minutes: "Maybe, dude; If I can find the time?!"
 
30 "...." in 15 ... : "Yeah, I'll do that occasionally on the Web, if I can't find a worthy opponent at 'g/10." {game, in 10 min.}
 
Game in 10 minutes : "PERFECT!.. YOU'RE ON!!" .."Oh, by-the-way, you don't happen to have a 'wimp' rating, by any chance?"
 
Game in 5 minutes: "Maybe, dude; but my game suffers, at that pace."
 
Game in 2 minutes, {& faster}, or.. move, per 10 seconds..'max': "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!! .. SH!T"!
 
{With my apologies, to Mr. John McEnroe; Who might sooner want to 'blind-date' Britney Spears, for all I know; Than play chess!?} ......
