Vacation, the no-vacation tournament, and mobile chess

Sort:
ExtraBold

OK, so I am about to go on vacation. I will have my mobile so I can make moves, but auto vacation protection will kick in if I don't.

But I have two games that are in a no-vacation tournament. (Not one I can win any more but I may still affect the result.) If auto vacation protection kicks in, will I be prevented from moving in these two games along with all the others?

Is there any way to keep playing these 2 without playing all my games, during my vacation?

Presumably they won't be affected by your vacation, they'll just continue while the rest is on hold. It would be absurd if it were any other way.

Edit: you can test this by going into vacation mode now.

Only if I move in every game, and then I won't be able to move in these games because it won't be my move. But yes, maybe I will try this test - but it may not be my turn again in the non-vacation games before I leave.

My guess is that when you go on vacation, those two games will continue to count down until you time-out and, therefore, you can use mobile chess on those two games only.

OK I have tested it, and I can't move in my no-vacation games while on vacation, using mobile chess. I can move in these games in the web browser on the PC.

I can turn on vacation even when it's my move in some games -- I thought having to move was something for non-paying members?

Scarblac. OK - didn't try that. 

Doesn't help tho.
