Forfeit Game Rule

[Mr Grumpy]

Unless your opponent has informed you in advance of a break in play, one week is long enough to wait IMO, just in case of ISP problems i would post on the forum as well.

If the game is reported and then your opponent comes back with a good reason for his absence, then the result should be deleted and you carry on.

I would always mail my opponent that i am going to do this and keep copies of my mails.

In Marque's case i would try to come to an agreement to end the game with this opponent, he is not worth the game time.
