Can someone please tell me how many moves I am allowed before its to late to abort. I have made one move in both games. My opponent has has made one move in one game and two in the other. Can I still abort one or both without affecting my rating or win/ loss. If I can abort will these be counted as a seaworthy... thank u for the help. Will

If you are black, once you make your first move, you can't abort. As white, you can abort before you make your move, and before your opponent (black) makes a move. However, if you abort too often, you will have the option suspended. If you don't make a move for 15 seconds on the first move as any colour, the server will abort the game.

Tony, thank you for the information. Is this the same on chess.com and official uscf. Also, can the server get me a  drink while they abort. Laughing. Sorry but i really dont know what a server is.  Thanks again. WIll

While the server can get you a drink while they abort, a tip is definitely expected.
