Resigned instead of deleted slow game.

Hi - I just ran in and started playing without reading the instructions.
My first move in my first game didn't generate a response so I decided to end the game, but I clicked resign instead of delete.

I don't suppose there's any way to get this first game, in which only one move was made, removed from the scoreboard?

Thanks.

You started today and resigned because someone didn't move the same day?
You know this is correspondence chess, right? It can take days or even weeks for someone to move (depending on time-out and timebank settings of course).

Yeah, not the most auspicious introduction to the site.
Never mind, plenty of opportunities to lose by lack of skill rather than bungling.

Didn't you get a popup warning when resigning? The warning should have told you resignation is un-reversable.

z00t - yeah I saw the pop up, but there's no abort game option from the game screen, only on the 'my games' page. I just figured irreversible meant that you couldn't restart the game once you'd ditched that opponent.

MCA - thanks for that info, I'm not exactly crying over my mistake, just a bit of a daft thing to do. Good to know that my rating will only be affected by my legitimately lost games.

skeeter - you should definitely form a team and kill everyone who does anything wrong on the internet.

We all do misteiks. Especially in the beginning. It's just hunan to err.

Your rating will be affected but it will correct itself as you play more games. Nothing to worry about.

Have a good time here on RHP and good luck with your games!
