Put a game in the open invites, rated 1200 ish, asking to play someone 2000> with 1-day timeout and no timebank... would they POSSIBLY, CONCIEVABLY trying to massivly boost rating by timing out?? is this allowed? i guess if someone rated 2000 ever accepts it it is their fault, so may be allowed. but.. seems a bit.. desperate

Why would a 2000 player let himself be timed out in a game he knowingly accepted at those time settings?

You'd have to be an optimist expecting to win like that, I reckon.

Oh, think of the fun a 2000+ player could possibly have accepting the game and moving once every 23 hours 59 minutes only.

Yes, it does matter. We suffer reading your posts; we can expect no less from the writer.

Everything flies out the window when you can't express yourself properly. You will never be taken seriously if you make spelling and grammar blunders when posting.
