Why pausing the clock when going to the toilet should be allowed...

The problem is that a lot of people would abuse it by just pausing it and thinking while the clock is paused+if they are losing, just abandon the game forever with the clock paused.

If you go in a Toilet while your time is paused, you can Think about your moves in the Toilet.

Especially when you are playing against Veselin Topalov.

Some call them toilets. I call them gaming chairs.

If you really have to go to the toilet so often, you should probably consult your doctor.

#45 most of the people have phones. If you don’t have one well…. you are weird (except if you are really young or really old)

I had this OTB game where the toilets were SO FAR AWAY from the tourney hall

I was desperate to go to the toilet but I only had 5 mins left on my clock. My opponent had 45 mins or smth

Whenever I moved I tried to make a run to the toilet but then I'd look back and see my opponent moved instantly as soon as I stood up. So I ended up having to play that rest of the game while desperate to pee 😑

Just pee your pants

Or undo the fly - Nobody's looking under the table! LOL!

Some people do have a phone but do not play chess online with they're phone, but rather prefer use PCs
