I defeated that little piece of sh.i.t.
Why so? You know what little bastard did? I forgot to push the clock after my move and he didn’t worn me. Being himself in zeitnot (*I surprised him on the opening), is no excuse. And that woman who stood next to our table during last moves, she looked me as an ominous raven or a witch with evil eye. Parents should be denied entrance to such competitions, when their children are under age of 18.
Spanyard born 2000 vs Me, lonesome, parentless
VIII round
Sadly your opponent does not have to tell you about the clock.
Under FIDE rules nobody can, bot even an arbiter/trainer/second or...parent.
Remember Karpov - Kasparov W.C. 1987. Kasparov forgot to press his clock,
Karpov never told him. Karpov won taking advantage of Kasparov's time trouble
though to be fair Karpov was in the better position.
After the "illegal move" game and the "forgot to hit the clock" games, it occurred to me that all you need is a "I forgot to set my alarm clock in time for the round" or "my opponent had a heart attack/seizure at the board" game for the hat trick!
And extra credit if you have a "my opponent was a beautiful buxom blonde from Russia" game!

Maybe arbiter is not even allowed.
But it is a part of sportmanship to tell your opponent.
Chess is not all defined. Great deal of sportmanship consists of unwritten rules.
I don't say he had to do it.
I am saying he is no gentlekid when he didn't.
And I will continue to tell that to my opponents if they forget to press the clock.
