nothing. he's within his rights to move within the agreed time limit. if 21 days is too long, consider only joining tournaments with shorter time limits.

i know it is frustgrating, though. i have one opponent who moved VERY frequently when he thought he was winning, but now that he is in big trouble, he is just stonewalling.

a system i've seen on other sites allows users to rate each other for fair play, courtesy, and so on. i think this would be good for catching out those who abide by the letter but not the spirit of the rules. and, perhaps, if someone's fair play rating dropped below a certain level, they would be barred from tournaments. this would include sandbaggers etc.
