 Definition of a move during my postponementNow I am in my postponement period and want to accept the draw offer. Is this considered a "move" ? And violates the "no move" rule during postponement? Kestutis |

sccadams After 5 moves have been made in any game, all game postponements (also those without moves) can be cancelled by either player |

Does this mean if after I postpone I can still ENTER conditional moves in a game where it's the opponent's move? I understand that the EXECUTION of existing conditional moves doesn't count, but does adding new conditional moves count? If the answer is "creating additional conditional moves doesn't count", then in theory I could keep playing a game during a postponement without being subject to cancellation as long as my opponent keeps triggering my conditional moves without making a subsequent move of his own. |

Yes, in theory it is possible to keep playing a game during the postponement via conditional moves only, if the game progresses in a very predictable way. Which is a good thing — it allows players leaving for a vacation to "wrap up" any games that are only a couple of moves away from a forced checkmate. |
