People letting their clock run out on purpose
Sort:
I've just recently started playing chess and my elo is pretty low. Nevertheless, sometimes when I'm winning a game my opponent takes forever to make a move and let's the clock Run out on purpose. Does this only happen in weaker elo's?
PS: Does the app notify me when he makes a move if I let the app running on the background I go to other pages?
If you have sound turned out I expect you would hear it when they move.
However, I would not necessarily assume that they are letting their clock run down on purpose. You don't know what is happening at their end. They could have lost their internet connection. Or they could have had an emergency and cannot make a move.
