A opp of mine has asked me not to time him out as he sad he had comupter troubles, so I left it as it was till now, now the SKULL has arrived, my quetion is can he re-start even with this SKULL.

I have taken him to his word but seeing he has been "AWAY ON HOLIDAYS" and/or sick or computer problems

I am sure this person has a friend that would have let him online on their computer, even for 10-20 mins for nothing, just to let his opp's know

If he's your friend, don't click it. If he really means nothing to you, take it.

Provided you don't click on the skull, the game stays live and he can move whenever he likes, which will reset his clock and start yours.

There are quite a few people around with valid reasons for being irregular players - but there are also a few who take advantage of other people's good nature. If you're starting to have doubts, check out his profile and green graph, also if other people have timed him out.

If it is a tournament though, it automatically times the games out. I have had games when I have given people time to get back to their games by not clicking the skull, but the system times them out anyway.

Why did they not put themselves on vacation rather than message you saying they had computer problems? It would have solved the problem.

Are other opponents taking the skulls and reducing the rating of the person?

If so, are you likely to win the game? You will receive fewer points the lower their rating goes.

Are you likely to lose the game? You will lose more rating points the lower your opponents rating falls.

Would your opponent skull you if they had the chance?

I don't think the computer trouble excuse is that good either. Computers with internet access are everywhere these days. My computer has recently been out of action but I have been making moves from friends computers and through internet cafes.

To be fair, if he is then you taking the skull in his chess game is probably not high in his list of priorities.

It's a tricky balance. I rarely take skulls, but I did the other day. I try not to let it keep me awake at night.

taking skulls gives me a nice warm feeling. in fact, i think i might enjoy it a little too much, if you know what i mean. do you think there's something wrong with me, or maybe very right?

It really feels good when you told the other player you wouldn't and then do it anyway.

but the ultimate is when the other player has executed a brilliant queen sac and is one move from checkmating you, and you crush his/her skull. i think i just came.
