Originally posted by Daemon SinVery good question. And let's add this game in question in the middle of a OTB tournament. And then let's say the player comes back a month later to complain to the judges that he shouldn't have lost from a forfeit because there was no way for his opponent to checkmate him if he had stayed and finished the game. Any responses???
Out of interest, if you were playing OTB, what would FIDE and USCF rule if during his move a player walked away from the table and never came back?
