Can we just take a second to marvel in the fact that I can use a device to send a signal to the opposite side of the country to affect my game while playing in real time with someone in Ireland?
The fact that this is even possible is amazing, and while it may be frustrating that DIM takes a few extra minutes it's not bad in the grand scheme of things.
Just imagine trying to play a game of chess with your friend in Ireland more than a century ago.
Write a letter with your move
Travels by horse to a ship
Ship leaves for Ireland
Letter travels by horse to get to your friend's house
Great, opening move
Your friend writes down his or her move
Letter travels by horse to ship
Ship leaves for your country
Taken by horse to your house
You now know your friend's first move
Etc.
We live in wonderful times!
