"no matter what"???? What if player is on vacation, or you would rather wait and play? This is a matter of personal opinion.

If you want to claim the win on time you must click on the skull, but if you prefer to play on, send a message to your opponent pointing out that he has reached the time limit and asking him to move if he wants to continue the game. If you get no reply, click the skull.
