There is a problem with knockout tournaments (i.e. groups of 2) that requires a technical fix. Where neither player in the group makes a move, each wins a game on time and apparently both players progress, which seems very unfair. For common sense to prevail, it relies on the tournament director to spot this happening and remove both players, but sometimes this gets missed or the tournament director is no longer active.
An example is Group #9 here:

Please could a staff member comment on this? Thanks.
I signed up quite a while ago but am just now getting into this forum. It rocks!
I just saw a list of cheaters. How is it possible to cheat in chess?
