3 full. After blacks third.
How do I delete a game?
If a game is under three moves it can be deleted from the 'My Games' page by clicking the bin icon. If a game is three moves or over, it can not be removed, but can be archived.

I may be wrong, but it clearly says moves are counted in pairs, so I interpreted it as after blacks third move. But like I said I may be wrong.

Within 3 moves does not include the third set of moves.Moves are made in pairs was put in there,because many beginners think that the first move is white...the second move is black,which is not the way moves are numbered.
The" What if my opponent stops playing??" question is before the FAQ answer I pasted from FAQ.

Originally posted by Ice Coldwell i'm glad i'm not a cop also. And if I was a lawyer I would argue that any game is under three moves until black has made its third move. In any game you are within three moves until black has completed its third move as it is stated in the FAQ. One white move and one black move= one full move according to the FAQ. SOOOO until black has made its third move in any game you are within, or under three moves. If white has made three moves, but black only two, then only 2 1/2 moves have been made according to the FAQ. And you still are under, or within three moves. And like I said in the past post, I might be wrong, but thats the way I interpreted it as I read it. so 😛

1.........2.........3
[within 3 moves]
Once white makes his 3rd move it's like this:
1..........2.........3...
........................[past 3 moves]

0...white moves...1/2 full move.....black moves...1 full move ....white moves...1 1/2...black move....2...3rd white move....2 1/2 full moves, under or within 3 full moves.....black makes third move.....3 full moves. now not under or within 3 moves. 😉 🙂 It is clear that the number line you stated is the way it is on this site, and I was wrong as I said I might be. But the number line I was thinking it was also fits into the way it is stated in the FAQ. you still glad i'm not your lawyer??? lol 😛
