thooperdooperman ,ur right, this hell of people does this kind of stuff and there was two match left for second round ,in one match a guy is leading by three pieces and game went on single move per day and remainig one game for god sake was finished at sometime,i have to go on checking wether the remaining hell of a game was finished or not and have to check every day by day,although single move was done as an average,if the game finished plying quick and i need to be checked everyday or i will be time out and i have to go onchecking checking time by time,also there is no remainder of furter start of second round

This is the first tournament I have yet played in and already I think it unlikely I will play again. Simply because, I got through the first round on 8 out of ten being timeout, (which in my oppinion is NOT NOT and NOT a victory) only 2 games were completed. Then after 2 months or how ever long, with no word of warning round 2 started, needless to say it was the 1 day i did not check online as the day before the stats said 86% complete, I then timed out on 7 of my 8 games. so basically, the winner of the tournament may not understand anything more than the move of a pawn but has simply won on timeout. Also I am now a victim of being a competitor against a premium paying player who unfairly is allowed to take vacation in a tournament where I can not. it says 34mins to make move and he has like 29 days holiday. What am I supposed to do with that? may as well resign. I have better things to do with my time than check here every day to see if this guy has bought more vacation time. why didn't you just call it "touch the truck" its basically the same game?

first of all the tournament shouldnt have vacation,wht happens if a premium member goes for vacation,and the day process should be having this kind the member should atleast complete 10-15,moves within day,or what happens if oppont moves one move per day,,if they r loosing the game too they can defend it long,then wht happens if the oppont is good the game wont finish and other oppnt for next round have to wait, and intentionally they will wiythdraw from tournm

My rating has squeaked above 1200 in the past few days, will I be removed automatically or should I withdraw with honor? ;)

I'm gonna take a wild guess, based on the site being based in California, that it is 10 AM US Pacific time.

Or the only other one I could think of would be Greenwich Mean.

I don't know for sure, but I think it's GMT -6:00 Mountain Standard Time; Which, if I'm not mistaken, would be around 10:30pm in Myanmar.

But I could be totally wrong.
