continuing after timeout

However, if you were interested in exploring what would have happened if ...

The TAKEBACK facility exists - for games started in that mode.

A suggestion I made before: if both sides agree, allow the game to be switched into TAKEBACK mode ... BUT it then becomes UNRATED. {This feature is not implemented}

Another possibility: take the game to its inevitable conclusion, but have the facility of restarting a WHAT-IF (unrated) game from just before the blunder point. I have done this in the past, but it was necessary for both players to manually make the moves (or use CONDITIONAL MOVES) to reach the pre-blunder point.

After a time out yes, but only if the player who did 'not' lose on time hasn't got their 'auto claim game on time' checked in their online chess settings page, then person out of time can still make a move.
