Hi all, How do I claim a victory over someone that hasn't moved in a game for several weeks?

you should have a button saying "claim win" on the game page, and on your "My games" list page.
Or something like that anyway.
Of course, the game TO will have to have occurred, and I'm not sure if Chrismo has implemented his proposed change to the TO rules.
And from what I can see, the only current games you are playing are both fairly up-to-date.

Each game has a "time Out" limit, or 3, 7, 14 or 21 days (chosen by the games creator). If your opponent hasn't moved in the game for more days than the time out (TO) limit allows (check what the TOlimit is in the "game details&quot😉 you will be given the option to claim victory - this appears on the "my games" page as a little yellow skull next to the game in question. If you click on it you will be asked if you're sure you want to claim victory, and if you do click "yes" and the game will be awarded to you.

A couple of exceptions to this. If the game has under 4 moves played then there will be delete option (yellow bin) next to the game on the "my games" screen. Because the game hastn't really started you can't claim a victory, only delete the game as a non-started. The second exception is that tournament games TO automatically 48 hours after the TO limit is passed.

Hope this helps

Do I have to wait a full 7 days for a guy to move 1 piece?

Mate, you'll have to retype your reply. Make sure, when you quote someone, you put your reply in the empty white box above the one with the quote in it.
