I'm Timothy living in Madison, Wisconsin; turned 58 last January and have been playing chess on and off for most of my life. Regarding timeouts I basically have the same opinion as most of you: - Whenever I have the chance to remind you, I do so - If you don't move and have no vacation flag raised, I'll take the timeout - Vacation settings will always be respected when the date of return is given Enjoy!
