Thank you for that explanation.

Forfeiting a game is just losing a game by not playing your first move within 3 days of the game assignment. 2. A time violation is just losing a game by exceeding the reflection time limit. 3. If the challenger loses for any reason, nothing happens to list positions. 4. If the defender loses for any reason, the challenger moves above the defender. Starting list order for example: 1. Ann 2. Bill 3. Chuck If Chuck challenges Ann and loses or draws nothing happens to the list order. If Chuck challenges Ann and wins the list changes to: 1. Chuck 2. Ann 3.

A scheduled game must begin within three days or the defender forfeits." What exactly does the word "forfeit" mean in this case and what would be the results of that outcome? It seems that if the challrnger doesn't make a move within 3 days, they would be the one to forfeit. Also, how would the list positions change, if at all, after the forfeit? Thanks for this clarification. Lewis Knightrider
