Logged on, made a few moves saw a skull, took it then suddenly
realised the current emergency. Looked at opponent's record
and see no move for 9 days and has been losing by time outs.

Can only assume the worst, we have another game on the go which
is about to time out. I am just going to resign it. I really hope the lad
is in total isolation or a health worker with no time for chess.

@greenpawn34
Don't beat yourself up about it - it's only a game.
It was very decent to resign the other one.

Stay safe yourself GP

If the player is on my buddie list (& I've not yet had that experience green pawn), I'll NOT take the skull to make space for my allotment. I'll wait it out.

Personally I just push the wood. Happy Easter by the way...

That is very classy and considerate of you greenpawn, you are truly a scholar and a gentleman! Kudos to you!

Hopefully one day soon the world will no longer be laboring under the scary and melancholy miasma that this scourge has produced, though we will all be in a weird "new normal" for years to come.
