It was trying to redirect you to the login page, I've fixed that.
If you normally use the URL www.net-chess.com, then use http://www.net-chess.com/addtime.cgi and save a login step.

Nope. As we all know, the international standard for something you're unfamiliar with not working is to blame the system you're just learning to use. Yes, you did try to join the tournament, but you weren't logged in and were redirected to the login page.

Re: Timing out
If they have a lot of time remaining, I do reduce the amount of time so they time out within a few days. It should be easy enough to just ignore the game for a short period of time, so not much to be done in this case.gcohen wrote:Greg Miller is not interested--I know from experience.

Re: 2014 Tournament
Chessleon could make an insufficient loosing chances claim, but that'd still result in a draw. But Bonaparte pretty much threw the match with game g1105181564 (he had plenty of time), so not really much need to discuss it.
