 Why hasn't game timed out?any vacation days. Why hasn't this game timed out? thanks |
||

What time controls are you using? Can you be a bit more specific about what time controls you are allowed in your game? For instance, if your opponent has a 10 or 14 day time control then he will not time out if he has made a move 8 days ago. However, if your time control was 7 days you may need to factor in the fact that on Sunday 1 day is usually added to the time controls unless they are up to the max. I hope this clarifies things for you. Cheers. Joanne |

Why hasn't game timed out? My opponent is boblegol. It's a tournament game. As far as I know all tournament games are two days to make a move. My opponent hasn't been online for 8 days. Something isn't right. I would never play a game that was any more than 3 days a move. It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks |

Why hasn't game..................... I would know it. He hasn't. |
||
|
|
||
|
Why hasn't game.................. days, the games should have timed out. |
||
|
Depends He may have used a(n) (emergency) postponement himself He may have used conditional moves Time has been added twice during Saturday night.... If he had had no time left on Wednesday, you should have seen it then already, and something "strange" must have happened there? |
||
|
Why hasn't game.................. didn't use conditional moves. This particular player has timed out 15 of the 47 games he or she has played. An unusually high amount. I'm writing this at 9 pm eastern standard time and he or she has 2 hours left to move. I've been a member of Gameknot awhile now and this scenario is confusing the heck out of me. |

... But it looks like an emergency postponement: 5 days would be added after the 2 days per move expire. Since the 2 days for the move were last weekend, one extra day was added then too as heinzkat points out. This weekend no extra day was added as the postponement was running. Adds up to 8 days and that is assuming that larryslade1 had already moved when boblegol did not come on-line anymore. Looks like emergency postponement kicked in but is not indicated... But also the history of games for this player is odd, it shows only 10 games of the 47 played. Normally, even if the games are not available anymore, the date and opponents are still shown. Weird... |

10 of 47 |

Why hasn't game........... any satisfaction in getting points from a timed out game, but like most players, I'll take them. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this player has lost games by timing out an unusually high amount of times. Thanks to everyone that added his or her two cents to solve my problem. |

There were also the holidays of Valentines day and President's day as well as two weekends. So perhaps the timing of the normal day added for the weekend allowed it to capture two successive days in addition to the emergency time out. The timing of the added day tends to fluctuate a bit from one weekend to the next. That would account for 7 days. I'm not sure how you would get to 8 days, unless GK added for Valentines day. I don't think they did that, did they? |

Looks like an emergency postponement to me. Nothing to concern ourselves with. |

Well, here in the US, the extra day is added on Saturday (late at night in my time zone, so it's already Sunday in the UK), while Valentine's Day doesn't move. I'm not sure if 2 days were added or not, but I did want to clarify the extra day Saturday/Sunday thing. |
