Yes, there are a few things you can do about this. First, you can go to your online chess settings page at http://www.chess.com/home/echess_settings.html and uncheck the box for "auto-win on time" so that you can continue to play the game rather than have the game end because the opponent ran out of time. Also, you can go to your online chess homepage at http://www.chess.com/echess/myhome.html and then under the recent games section you can check the box next to the game you want and then "download PGN" or you can click "view" on the game you want and then under the "details" tab you will see the FEN string which you can use to bring up the game position.

Thanks to both PerfectGent and Patzer24, I have the file open now in Babaschess. So....how do I get Babaschess to finish the game against me?
Generally, if the program you are using allows you to set up a position, then there should also be some way for it to ask you (perhaps a check box or the like) if it is White's or Black's move. After that, you should be good to go.
You may need to set it up so it's your move and you initiate the game by doing so.
Good luck with it.
I just won one of the most interesting games I've played here, but only because my opponent didn't move. As a patzer, I was playing a game I had not played before, and was in a position I've never seen, working with shapes I'm not familiar with, but was doing quite well. For my own learning, I would very much like to transfer the existing board set up to play against a computer or something. Can I do that here?
Winning on time with a strong position makes my win feel somewhat cheap too. Anyone else feel that way?
