fyi... you can turn off emails being sent to you from the email options located on the preferences section this way you don't need to be notified that its time for you to move for the game.

"On the other hand, if you don't receive your e-mail notification, if you start a game that you don't really care about, you really would need a reminder sooner or later. :-P %-)

In the end, it's all just a matter of personal preference :-) Peace! 8-)"

I'm pretty sure lecterror knew how to turn off his emails notification. :-P :-) peace bro! :-D

I'll be frank here, I WILL claim games against weaker opposition, especially if they should have resigned in the first place, an example game is:


FlipFirst Move   Previous MoveNext Move   Previous Move (with variations)Next Move (with variations)   Last Move

1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 b5 4. Bxb5 a6 5. Ba4 Bb7 6. Qf3 Nb4 7. Qxb7 N8c6 8. Bxc6 Nxc2+ 9. Kd1 Nxa1 10. Qxa8 Qxa8 11. Bxa8 c6 12. Nc3 e6 13. Nf3 Bb4 14. Bd2 Be7 15. Bb7 Bb4 16. Bxa6 O-O 17. Bd3 Ra8 18. Ke2 Bxc3 19. Bxc3 1-0
where I'm up a few pieces early, if the opponent should resign in the first place and I can claim a game, I WILL, but in even positions I send reminders and if they don't move I claim anyway's.



4. Don't claim games. This one is even more confusing. Why shouldn't you claim a game. "The guy is simply too late." Again, your opponent might have problems in real life. Perhaps he got fired, divorced, perhaps someone died in the family. Have consideration. Although unlikely to happen, it is still possible. We can split this rule into two:

4b. If you're playing against a weaker opponent, DON'T claim games! If you have a rating of 2400 and your opponent is 1300, why claim a game? You won't gain much, and you'll probably beat the hell out of your opponent anyway. So if you're going to win, don't make your opponent depressed by claiming a game. Playing the game until the end has many advantages for your opponent:
