can i see where it is posted btw?
4-Player FFA Bulldog Chess Game

This is stated in the first post of this forum:
The game will follow the correspondence rules posted here.
So yes, we are following those correspondence rules.
From the correspondence rules:
18. Board updates: Unless otherwise agreed, one player in each game should post a board update, or a board should be provided by someone who has agreed to moderate the game. Either player has a right to request a board once per move (2 plies). If a board has not been posted which is at most 1-ply from the current position, and a player requests to see a board, time waiting for the board does not count as playing time.
The timer is stopped while waiting for the board, it is not refreshed after the board is posted.
makes sense
i'll hear what Martin says
