Hi everyone!
What happens to games in which one's time is up and the other doesn't claim the win because he/she wasn't online for a longer period? Can't these games stopped automatically? One example can be seen in Auto-Open-503 group 4. The last open game in the first round blocks the whole tournament. That's not fair play. What do you think about it?
Greetings from Germany
Peter

Greetings gardez2005. After 30 days the server automatically claims the game. I personally feel that this is too long especially when it is one game that holds up the tournament. Judging by other posts is is not that rare.

Greetings Peter.

The supposed winner has 30 days (if I recall correctly) to claim the victory by time, before the game is automatically canceled.

Hugs from sunny Brazil.
Beco.

Thank you very much for the information, Milton and beco. :-) I didn't know it - must have overread it.

Hi Peter, You are welcome. But we only know this because the same question has been asked before.

Which is why the forums need a search function.
