How did I lose this game?

I logged in this morning to find that I'd lost a certain game.
I was timed-out! probably by a matter of an hour or two! You can see how fast the game was moving, I just can't believe how anyone can time out so quickly. I have open a game against someone who hasn't moved since April 4th.

Here are the timings

War is war, loser.

as requested...

I know that 'time' is part of the game, but to timeout someone so quickly is seems unfair. All that can be gained is a few rating points.

Last move made the 27th, right?

It was a One Day per Move Time.

You get one day to move.

They gave you 2 or so days slack and timed you.

Did I read something wrong?

Find the link marked Game Info on that game page. Consider sticking to 3 day or 7 day games... or move EVERY DAY in a one day game.

Don't forget Time Bank features... always nice to have some extra time if you miss a move.

Actually, seems this user is playing on European time, and a move was made yesterday.

Must have been more than 24 hours though, I suppose.
