@Very-Rusty saidDear Rusty, I don't know his status, but I do hope he is okay. He always seemed like one of the good guys. Very amusing, too.
Anyone know what happened to Chris, he hasn't move in 6 days plus and I don't want to crush his skulls on move 2 for sure.

@Arkturos saidIndeed Kevin,

Chris is one of the good ones on here for sure! I don't want to take his skull with only 2 moves made. Something happened or he is having computer problems, would be my best guess.

@Very-Rusty saidI believe he was one of the first players I met here when I was totally new in chess. He had a different name then. I have told him about it. 🙂

It was my third chess game ever and I was terrified. (Game #3542951) June 2007.

@Very-Rusty saidRusty, I just remembered: I think you could cancel both of those games and they wouldn't affect the ratings (because they are only on move 2).

Looks like it has been ten days now. I do hope he turns up again.
I vaguely seem to remember he was from Bolton, UK (could be wrong), but he's not listed in the obits in the Bolton News.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidIndeed. Chris moves in mysterious ways.
@Very-Rusty
I wouldn't worry, Rusty, Chris has been known to take off like this. He'll show up
@Earl-of-Trumps saidI didn't time him out the Site auto timed him out after must have been 10 days. I'd never time Chris out after only having made 2 moves.

You don't seem to understand Kevin I don't care about ratings. I have known Chris for years at least on here, and would never time him out after 2 moves, we have had some interesting games over the years. Besides he is a pretty nice fellow too.
It appears the Site timed him out after what I figure must have been the full 10 day period.

@Very-Rusty saidOK, but I wasn't talking about a time-out.

From the Help menu (Introduction):
What happens if my opponent stops playing?
Occasionally this does happen. If this happens within three moves (remember moves are counted in pairs) you can simply delete the game.
@Arkturos saidNot sure that works for tournament games (implied by the auto-timeout).

The tournament in question would go lop-sided if games were to disappear.
@orangutan saidOh, that's a good point. I had not noticed that those were tournament games (trophy icon in the games list).

Can we still cancel after 7 days has went by? To be honest I never even though of that. With most people I would just hit the Skull but there are some I've played and got to know from on here over the years I wouldn't hit their skulls, unless of course I was upset with them about something. 😉

I believe you are correct on that.
