I am able to claim a victory in one of my games due to timeout. But what does it mean when the pop up says "please only claim if your opponant refuses to move" ?
Am I wrong to take the victory when i konw that my opponant will be making a move soon??
I realise that this is about a game im progress but it is a technical point that could apply to any game.
I realy dont like to time out my oponents, i have waited long time to time them out and sent remainders, Its is because It is diferent when you work outdoors and sometimes dont know when you will make the next move, so i put miself in their position, i feel desperate when i know i will be timed out and cant play.
other reason is i like to finish games, i like seeing how its going to end.

Originally posted by lafredoit depends on your reason to play, if you play to achieve rating, you would even use a machine to get it, i feel that i am learning a lot in these dais since i am playing here, i am reading openings and other things, so if a better player than me kicks my but, it its normal to me.
even if your lower rated and almost certain to loose?
bottom line, i play to win, but through my knowledge.
Originally posted by lafredoGood question. I really don't like that popup message-- it makes it sound like it's somehow churlish to claim timeouts. On some other sites, the timeouts happen automatically. In some ways I would prefer that.
but why does it say "please only claim victory if your opponant refuses to move"?
IMO if your opponent hasn't posted a vacation flag with a good reason for his failure to move, just time him out. And ignore that message.

i look at it like this if your in a tournament you have a time limit so lets say you have 90 minutes to move and you or your opponent run out of time that means you lose. just like in tournaments if they cannot move within the time limit then you should win. why be polite if they are taking forever to move? some people i have played have made a game last 3 months just to piss me off because they lost
