Timeout warning (from TD)

Avatar of captaintugwash

Ok so that's time. A shame, I never like winning like this.

 

auk, if you like, we can play on unrated at whatever pace you like, but I understand if you can't be bothered.

Actually, I wonder if there is an option to keep the game rated at a slower pace.

What I mean is, in the Giga tournament this game is decided and tug moves on. But when you play 7 days per move, whatever is the result will count for rating? Not sure if Martin would be willing to support this?

Avatar of captaintugwash

I'm ok continuing rated. I'm happy with 7 days per move but with nobody waiting for the game to finish I'd appreciate only me and auk being able to enforce time. 

 

It's really up to auk.

And up to Martin whether or not he wants to consider the slower continuation for the rating, instead of the tournament result.

Avatar of Martin0

The normal procedure is to take the win (with rating) and continue unrated.

I'm fine with allowing the game to change time control and continue rated though. And I'm not going to call timeout warnings. But of course, auk also needs to agree to this proposal. He hasn't been online for 12 days. I hope he gets back soon.

Avatar of thegreatauk

I am OK, with the suggestion. I apologize for not being online and moving. I have been very busy with studying.

Avatar of captaintugwash

Thanks auk, and it's not a problem. I've been busy too recently. 

For the sake of clarity, this game will continue rated with a relaxed time control, I would suggest 7 days per move but I'm not going to issue time warnings unless it's clear you've abandoned the game. If you're happy with this, please play your next move.

OK, sounds good. 12. 0-0

Avatar of captaintugwash

Excellent, thanks. I prefer rated as it ensures the game remains competitive. 

Avatar of captaintugwash

I assume you intend short side (0-0 rather than 0-0-0) but since both sides are possible I'll be happy to allow us to go back if you meant to go long side.

I was about to bump then saw auk actually hasn't been online for 15 days. Alright I'll wait.
