Unless someone is on vacation (symbol)
How long would one wait to claim a win due to timeout?
I have one that I could claim, really would like to finish it, however it is keeping me to 5 games instead of 6 I could have in progress.

that guy looks to have lost interest, i would time him out if i was you (though i dont normally) unless he has a vacation flag (i didnt look and cant be bothered to go back and check)
though remember its completely up to you if you time people out, its not rude (though some think it is) as if you agree to a game you agree to move within the time controls

Skull him, collect the win and rating points.
He will not even notice it.

I have also an example against an iragi guy (is the war still going on!?) Slow game a lot ofg waiting, a game not worth to mention, but he now did not move for a ... weeks. This irritates me, playing chess okay but keep your behavior and stick with the discipline to move! and play a decent game of (a know it's a big word) quality chess. Behave and play chess

He noticed it alright.
I got message from opponent and they did not like my decision.

Well, anyway, it was his decision to start with.
He didn't move, and you skulled him.
By the way, was he very angry?

I referred him that I made a post about decisons.
I also have just learned that I can increase time besides the 3 days limit or some effect.
So I time claimed that game and got checked mated on another and started 2 other being Black..
Hopefully next time, I'll wait longer, but hey..ya never know..
It's not like I'm cheating and the rating are not official USCF ratings, etc.
Thanks for al replied to this post.
