I for one am tired of people trying to bolster their rating by blaiming a timeout victory. I understand that you agree to certain time limits, but when someone who is losing claims a win that way, the subject needs to be addressed. It's not like I wasn't going to move, didn't even get 5 minutes after the 24 hour time limit expired. Keep an eye out for poser's with fake ratings especially Afeliz

yeah....a couple things to remember if you are ahead in a game.
1) don't blunder away your advantage
2) move in the agreed upon time
In this format, I see no difference between taking advantage of an opponent's poor move and taking advantage of an opponent's failure to move.

My best advice is to just get used to it or maybe only play friends & family. They usually won't time you out. 🙂
Also, only accept games with a higher time limit; so you'll have enough time to move/think. Sometimes you have to learn this the hard way. Well, good luck! 🙂

You really have a lot of brass. You are winning a game and you expect the person your beating to help you by giving you some extra time ??????? Am I missing something here. I won't give you 1/1000 of relief. This is a game of kill or be killed. Never forget that. Imagine this: I say enemy of mine; had a rough time at the office today. Would you mind sticking this gun up your a.. and pulling the trigger for me. Thats a good fellow. Enjoy your stay in hell, and, oh yes, thank you for the rating boost." Get a life and quit crying.
