Too late!

May I doubt this? From here it looks like he posted WFB 23 ours after your warning - which would be just in time.

It said that an hour ago too

Did you keep a screenshot?

In general, I find claiming on time very acceptable, but there should be a clear case and no reason to doubt for the arbiter.

thegreatauk

Yeah but you still had to claim before I posted.

thegreatauk

I can't remember whether or not it was a day or not.

Correct.       This game is not yet over.

thegreatauk

So could we have a board?

This is indeed what the rules say:

"14. Time control: Three days maximum per move, unless agreed otherwise. Once notified of an illegal or ambiguous move, the time spent correcting or clarifying the move must be within the three day day limit. If your opponent has not announced his move within the three day limit, request a reply. If a legal move is not announced within one extra day (24 hours), your opponent is a "no show" and he/she has forfeited the game. You record the game as a win."

if auk disagrees then it will be decided by the federation

I am unhappy with how this rule has been written down. In OTB tournaments you only win on time if you notice it and claim it. If you get mated by an opponent with negative time on the clock then the mate counts. Why should it be different here? Hopefully @vickalan is willing to give his thought here.

 I saw it about 10-20 minutes after the post it said 1 day ago, and I would guess that it also said 1 day ago when he posted 

Ok this triggers me. He might very well have been just in time and you confirm with this remark  that you yourself are not 100% sure. My conclusion is that your claim is invalid. 

thegreatauk

I would rather have the federation decide. and no I am not stalling I just happen to have my countries junior chess champs and I don't have a lot of time on the computer.

evert823

It's still intriguing. We are both looking at the information displayed by chess.com. One moment I find evidence that thegreatauk was just in time. Another moment you find evidence that thegreatauk was too late. Doesn't this altogether mean that the information displayed on chess.com is not reliable? Or has a too large error marge? Anyways, one cannot simply rely on one observation while ignoring another observation that counters it.

True

 

thegreatauk

Since we can't decide but you say you are winning how about you actually play it out (in a few days I will be more active)

I guess, nobody will now object if I just post a board in absence of Martin0.

evert823

To inform you, vickalan and I have discussed the matter and we want to wait till Martin0 is back online to give his opinion. And that will be another couple of days I believe.
