Originally posted by Jyrki SYou can withdraw, by resigning all the games. If the move number is less than three (not absolutely sure), then it will not affect your rating. Otherwise your rating would go down.
Oh my god!!
My tournament timeout is 21 days. So if the game (just one) goes so long as - say 50 moves - that could take over 3 years to complete the tournament.
I don't want to play one tournament so long. Can I withdraw from that?
Originally posted by Jyrki SThere is no trash bin in tournament games. But as I mentioned before, you can resign the games. Games with one or two moves will not affect your rating (as far as I know). Best is to resign one game with two moves; if it doesn't change your rating, resign all the others as well.
So far the max moves are 2, but i don't see the trash bin at all. Even in those games without moves at all.
By the way, you are playing here since April 07; have you never noticed how the time controls work?
If you like faster tournaments, go for this one: Tournament 11224. Here you have a timebank of 21 days; i.e. you have a total of 21 days for all of your moves. As your opponents also have 21 days, the games will be over in 42 days at max. (if there wouldn't be the option to use the vacation flag). But be careful!
