In a recent county chess match I was white and made my first move at the agreed start time.
My opponent did not turn up and after an hour the game was claimed for the team.
After driving for an hour and half to a venue and wasting nearly a whole day I feel I should be able to claim the rating points as well - after all he technically lost on time?
It turns out my opponent just 'forgot'.
Anyone knoe ifd thisis possible under ECF controls etc? thanks.
