I'm sitting with a game (my first Blitz) where opponent's got no time left but the game doesn't end -- I don't see a way to claim a draw -- what to do? If I exit I forfeit the game.

Aha - see my thread a little way down entitled Blitz Trickery or similar - you sit there watching their clock run down, but you might find that it's you that's disconnected - for some reason it doesn't tell you, the clock just runs down. Best way to check this early rather than sit and wait is to see whether you can send a message - if you can't send a message (it would appear in the message box) the chances are you've disconnected and you might as well exit the game then.

Try typing a message in the chat window. If nothing happens after sending, click the exit button

If it's the RHP server, then the games are not rated anyway, so just take the forfeit.

In all likelihood there was some kind of lag problem on one end or the other and RHP's server doesn't know how to handle it.
