My opponent has paused our game and feel this isn't in the spirit of the have esp as its a 7 day game. How have they managed to do this?

He probably used " Vacation" mode it's under your settings on your " home" page.

It is used in case something unplanned occurs .

An example my mother recently passed away and I used ' Vacation" mode to adjourn a game.

Don't assume the worst.

My Opponent paused Game because he is going to loose. Now its 1 day game how long can he pause it?

Depends how much vacation he's accrued.  Oh if he's obviously delaying the game, you could report him I suppose.  Here's an article:

Yeah but i wait till tonorow i think more then 24 h are not allowed. But what i didnt understand, how could he get one extra day. Normally he had Time till yesterday but then i saw that he got 24 hours again in a 1 day Game how is that possible?

With all due respect, I don't think you understand the concept of vacation. Here's an article about it:

No it was before he took vecation. Its 1 day Game. Yesterday he should have lost because of time which ended but he got 24h more. Today he had only 30 minutes left and now he took vacation perhaps. What yesterday happend i cant explain?

He's a premium member.  Vacations kick in automatically. 

multi-universe
Hmm thats not fair but. Just cowards
baddogno

Oh please.  He's got 6 games going.  His vacation may have nothing to do with your game or even chess.  If you're tired of waiting, start another game.

multi-universe
How do u Know it. And he just have to move once and then he will loose the Game for sure. I cant imagine he doesnt have time for one move!
baddogno

Goodbye and good luck.  Your world may revolve around the outcome of this game, but clearly his does not.

can't he stop your attack with rc8+ or even just taking the rook and win a bishop and rook for a queen

multi-universe
He just have to Play doesnt matter what! But as i said i am waiting so just lets see!

I think that person just can't get online--for instance, let's say I have to go somewhere for 3 weeks without a computer.

@beretm9, you aren't allowed to comment on games in progress. Anyways, your line doesn't work after Ke7.

multi-universe
Ok thanx. I Know it doesnt work but i personally dont think so. He paused the Game many times because it was nearing an end. Isntead of pausing he could have played. But doesnt matter seems its wrong to ask questions here. Everyone blaming me here and thinking he is right and i am wrong. Thanx anyway i wont ask any questions again.
multi-universe
By the way its also not allow to help him u all r giving Tipps to him. Thats rude to me the one who is now waiting. And as i said i just asked the question because i am new but People r blaming me either just tell to wait some days. I can wait 4 sure.

Please stop spelling lose 'loose'

This has been done to me aswell, really really bad form ... she keeps pausing it cos she doesn;t want to lose.
