:( No wonder my rating dropped so much!!! If it is in the rules, there is nothing to argue about , but... honestly, I am not sure if it is a good rule. I think I am not going to move in the rest of the games in the match so that I dont interfere with the match standings. I apologize to everyone for ...

timed out before time is due

Hi,

I lost my internet connection at home for two weeks. Now that I have it back I find that I am timed out although I still have like ten days left. This has happened in like ten games that had not started yet.

Thanks a lot.

I know the feeling. However, the rules are the rules and he has the right to use up his time. He might have a reason to do what he is doing. For example, maybe he is very close to reaching his highest ever ELO, and he is just about to win another game. If he resigns in your game, he might lose the c...

Thanx for the advice on playing slowly. I´ll try. :D

I do play blitz on chessbase, but this is a different kind of chess. Blitz really makes me a wreck of nerves, buy this is relaxing.

By the way, I am from Madrid, Spain. Any more Spaniards around?

Just check Anand-Vallejo in this last Linares. Anand was ABSOLUTELY lost. I could see the winning line and my ELO is about 1300, however Vallejo blundered and they drew that game.
