question on vacation

Sort:

I am in an end game that looks very favorable for me.  My opponent went on vacation.  Is there a way I can find out how much vacation time he has left?  That would be good to know as I would be able to anticipate when he might make his next move.

Yes, unfortunatelythough you only get visibility into this stat by clicking on someone's game when they're actually on vacation.

It would be great if this stat were readily available for all users at all times via their profile page.

Yes, I'd certainly appreciate that feature.

Nice -- I didn't realize you could do that.  Still, it's a somewhat clumsy workaround.

Just click on the game, it shows how much vacation time your opponent has left.

In this case, it's 25 days, but perhaps you meant a different game.
