sense DANGER in chess:
1. There has been a change in the pawn structure. Your opponent has 8 and you don't have any.
2. Your opponent begins to throw pawns at your eyes.
3. You have a postion won but your opponent has a gun.

Exception is I don't like timing people out if they are making a good effort and it seems a lot of players in our tourney are just too eager to hit that button. I prefer to play my games and it's nice to see you are the same (eg we both could have timed out Cheshire Cat on numerous occasions).
