Wait a second... The witch can jump (like a knight) two squares diagonally and orthogonally, correct? So isn't that basically like that the pieces adjacent to the witch are transparent to it? Or am I missing something.

I don’t believe so FEF. When the witch is moving as a queen, it cannot travel through pieces. This is because the pieces are not transparent to the witch.

Does that clear it up?

No, there's no "2 day warning", you get three days before your opponent can issue a warning. And you only lose on time if you make a move one full day after that. So if I don't make a move for 5 days but my opponent only issues a warning on the 4.5th day then I still am in the game. Either that or absolutely everyone has been playing wrong, so I'd say that's correct.

I'm pretty sure you get two days, I've played and watched lots of these games.  But you can keep playing if it's alright with @josephyossi.  I'll try to confirm this with @vickalan (of course, you may be correct).

The rules are here:

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.

OK, Horus was right.   *Facepalm* wink.png

Thanks Martin0 for showing the link. I hope you guys can keep playing - I didn't check each player's reply time carefully.

A player can issue a warning after 3 days of waiting. If you don't issue a warning first, then you can't claim a win. After the warning, if still no move within 24 hours, then you can claim the win.

Btw, If anyone has suggestions to make the rules more clear, feel free to leave comments at link Martin showed.

It hasn't happened often, but I usually don't give warnings until 4 or 5 days, and I always make sure to wait at least the minimum 1 day extra. But anyone can enforce the rules strictly, as long as you are SURE you waited the three days, and then the extra one day. If there is any question about specific reply time, I think the game should keep going.
