I have just started two games that were supposed to be quick movers only. The opponent moves three to four times and then goes away, so I can't quit the game without resigning. Are there any other options? Thanks,

Originally posted by hobusIts annoying if set up with the intention of being quickplay. Set the time to 1/0 and claim a timeout after 24 hours.

It happens to me whenever I do that. I had 1 quickplay game go on 6 months. It was set up as 3/14 (error) and called "Quickplay, lets finish today", but he only moved once every 3 days and used all his timebank before I eventually timed out a won position.

I must admit, I delight in accepting invites which are set up soemthing like this : 3/7 and Quick Game or Finish Today.
I then make a few quick moves as one often does in the opening, and then settle back intoa normal routine of a few moves a day. This is a CORROSPONDENCE CHESS site, if you want a quick game then play on Uchess or Gameknot etc.
You are doing the OTB equivalent of saying 'Let's play blitz' and then setting the clocks at 1 hour eacvh, doesn't make any sense.
I will get abuse for this I know, bring it on.
Happy New Year.

I don't understand why, though, when it is clearly evident that your opponent desires a quicker game than what you intend to play. It may be a correspondence chess site, however that does not mean that two people can not play a quick game if so desired.

Originally posted by saffa73Something doesn't quite seem correct, your profile says that you play in div 1 of the surrey league (which is the Surrey Trophy) but surely to play in that division you are talking about a min of about a 130 bcf rating just to scape in on the last board, I can't understand how your cc rating is below that level (bearing in mind that a cc rating would normally be well above an otb rating)

Originally posted by saffa73But isn't a 163 bcf equivelent to about 2000? for example the forthcoming Brentwood International Chess Congress tournament masters section is limited to a min 150 grade (and they say that is 1800 ). I would therefore expect your cc rating to be about 2200. You must almost treat this as playing otb.
