This is not OTB game. Playing on BK or similiar server is like playing correspondence chess on ICCF webserver. And there is time exceeding counted as forfeit - look at point 6.f http://www.iccf.com/rules/2009/PRWebserver2009.pdf

thisbeme: For those interested as to what the "official" chess rules are regarding this situation, please check out rule 6.9 at the following link:

http://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=124&view=article

This should validate thisbeme's complaint regarding the mistaken chess rules here. Well, that is assuming you can indeed lose on time here at BK even though it is impossible for your opponent to mate you. I haven't played chess here so I can't verify or refute that claim.

thisbeme: Not having automated passes and forced moves has been hot topic of discussion as long i have been on this site. And from what i heard its been discussed long before that too, probably since the beginning of BK. I think those auto-moves would be the number one thing to improve this site. But for some shoddy reasoning it has never been implemented.

The other point you make is a valid one too. If your opponent has insufficient material to win you should be able to claim a draw in chess. Even if you time out.

I've been informed that timing out even if in a position that is theoretically impossible to lose (like if facing a bare king at chess) is always a loss here!!

The laws of chess are clear that this scenario should be a draw.

It is insane to reward a player with more than they would get, if their opponent made the theoretically worst plays.

Also why isn't auto pass extended to all games will only one legal move/no legal moves?
On a related matter I don't need to acknowledge that I've lost the initial dice roll any more than I acknowledge that I go 2nd in other games.
Passing and making only moves is a big waste of time.

Bernice: And another way would be, go to the Player List link on the left side. Click on the "Level" column. It will then list by membership level. If it starts with pawns, simply click it again, and it will reverse the list for you.

When searching for ponds to sign up for, if you click on the Fellowships ponds, there are many ponds waiting to sign up that are 2 to 4 years old... wouldn't it be great if those were simply deleted from the site?

Gabriel Almeida: There has been Team Tounaments with the winning team receiving brains for their win and also many fellowship team tounament that have brains for the winning team. However you must set up the tournament. Currently the brain system is inactive but I hope it soon will change.
