sorry if i should know this, i'm new on here... its just that a player has timed out and i can take the win; its just that we were having a nice chat during the game and during the chat i said i might not be able to move for a while and he said dont worry, i wait for you, i wont take the time out; i did move within the time limit in the end thought but now he hasnt! hmmmm... however, i have won the game, only pawns and my queen left; should i still let him move or take the win, thanks?
No, it'll just hang, so you will have to claim it eventually in the unlikely event that he doesn't move - but give it a week or two and keep sending a few reminders. The reality is that you'll probably play hundreds of games on here - there aren't many people who don't immediately take timeouts, so what difference will waiting a little longer make?
