@tonks saidThe timeout is already tickuing down. If you go to the Information via the my Games page and look at the Clock it will Show.
I have a game where I am waiting for my opponent, as white, to make his first move. How long is it before the timeout/timebank start to deplete. The game was instigated a week or so ago but no controls have changed.
However there is a small bug in the System, so that the bar graph only starts after the first move. I believe that bug has been reported before.
You can probably Time-out the ladder game after the 8 days it takes I believe.
