Subject: auto vacation
I'm involved in a tournament where one individual has not made their fist move yet in over a month. They are on Auto vacation mode and their alloted amount of vacation has not gone down each day, it stays the same and they still have not even been logged in since October. is this a glitch? also does auto vacation ever deduct if i move in some games and not in others? if i have 30 days and i move in 3 of my 5 games will i still lose a day? since i did not move in those two games?

fischer clock stuff again: is it possible to be down to 1 hour of time remaining, then work it back up to a 15 day max bank by moving very quickly the rest of the time?

AbigailII: yes you are correct but in theory it is not (should not be) correct. there must be an exception where once a day you may be away for 8 hours { for sleep, we all need it eventhough some of us seem to always be on! =) } and not be punished. So there needs to a be a system in place that allows for that sleep time. punishing for sleeping! uggg.

AbigailII: actually no the person who responds instantly is the faster player. if im playing you in chess and i move at 1pm you move at 2pm i move at 2:01 pm them you move again at 3pm then i move at 3:01 i will be considered teh faster player. but here is where it gets tricky if i make my last move for the night at 12 midnight and my opponent moves ar 1am and i cant move again till 11am i get punished. but pedestrian summed it up the best and i agree with everyone. just dont join a risky time control.

the main thing that really bothers me is that even if i move 10x a day and my oppenent makes his move 1 hour later than me and I make the last move of the "night" and then i go away for 2 days i lose the game even though i was the main person that was moving quickly. i get no credit for the immediate response of a move. its the immediate response that makes for a quick player.

Subject: understanding the fischer clock
im a little unsure about how the clock works. am i able to do this with the fischer clock... 1 day per move is the time setting, if i move 3x per day you can gain 6 hours bonus time. so in this situation if i move 6x in the 1st two days i will not have to move for 1 day 12 hours, prior to timing out. 1 +6+6=1day 12 hours. the important part is having to move 3x... if it just calculates a single move pper day the clock will not work.

i am unsure if the settings have taken hold. I currently have two games posted both with settings where players with low ratings under 1700 or 1800 cannot play me. in the past players with 1100 have been able to play me. Its says anyone can play when i look at my posted game.

Subject: continual problems
I still am unable to adjust the quailty of the ratings of the people i wish to play. for example i posted a game of open espionage but i do not with to play anyone lower than 1800 and no higher than 4000. i clicked the area where you can adjust this but when i posted the game it says anyone can play. i have been trying to figure this out for the last 2 years with no luck...
