Does anyone know what happened to this person? I have a game with him, and I see that I may end up timing him out like everyone else. Did he leave the site?

It is possible, especially as they haven't moved for so long.

The problem you have is if you don't timeout and they come back and beat you, which is always a possibility given that they are rated much higher than you when they actually play, then based on their current rating, you will lose a heap of points. 🙁

This will be why everyone else is timing the person out.

Some players may time him because they work for Pepsi. 😀

Same thing for this player User 296643, rated around 2000 and now in the 1100s. I was really looking forward to completing our game Game 2841392 seeing as I had just gotten an advantage and he was a far superior rated player.

Any 2000 players want to play an unrated game starting from this position?

I think you can safely say you would have won that game

That makes me feel better about taking the timeout. 🙂

hope the guy's alright. Took up a lot of forum space with complete tripe IMO, kinda like a fly buzzing around, but a nice chap all the same.

curious: why do you refer to the diet as a "They"

Maybe because Diet Coke is often seen in six-packs.
