Hi, Aren't friendly games supposed to be just that, a chance to play some games without restrictions for the fun of it? It seems to me that rather than coming up with a general policy, it would make more sense for the players to agree on time restrictions before starting a game if they want to have them. Also, I think the TD has enough to do making sure tournament games are played according to the time controls and shouldn't have to worry about regulating friendly games. Maybe there could be a policy to cover extreme cases - if you don't hear from your opponent in a week, you contact them. If they don't send a move or a good explanation within three days, they forfeit. But otherwise, it seems to me that it should be between the players. Just my two cents' worth, Anna =========The blind-chess mailing list View list information and change your settings: //www.freelists.org/list/blind-chess List archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/blind-chess =======
