Vacation Option Abuse

I really like this site and the people that play here. I only have one issue with one single option. You guessed it. The ON VACATION option. I have four of my games where my opponent is on vacation and three of them are clear wins. The other problem is that they all say my opponent has 0 months and thirty days of vacation ALL THE TIME and it never changes.

 I think that prior to going ON VACATION there should be some kind of computer analysis and if the win is imminent, the win should be awarded before the other player can use the vacation option, especially if they have they have the option of using it indefinitely.

    THEY'RE SCARED! They're hoping you'll forego the games and they'll get the win or the draw. Just count the games where your opponent went on vacation for too long as a victory under your belt.Wink

    I agree that there should be no adjudication as well, as long as there is no vacation option. I just don't like the vacation option because it is obvious to me that there are people signing up for accounts then to be spiteful in their lost positions they go on vacation and never come back.

    What you are encountering here might be a bug in the chess.com system.  I suspect their vacation is counting down but it doesn't display that fact to you.  Bring this to Erik's attention.

    I disagree about adjudication of games.  No game should be "awarded."
