I think you may be the first person ever to have suffered a timeout defeat on RHP.

I think it is absolutely shocking 😲🙄

Adam may be wrong I'm sure some guy lost on 'time' in 2005.

Good game by the way, you handled the Scholars Attack pretty well
and knocked it back in insrtuctive fashion.

Pity you forgot to move.

It seems apparent that you are relatively new here. A timeout win happens to a ton of people here. Have had a few myself. Here is the thought process though. Just like in a regular chess game, there is a timed limit. If you don't make your moves within the time limit, you lose.

pretty simple really

If you look at a players profile down the bottom on the right hand
side you will see how many wins/losses this player has had due to timeouts.

Your opponent Jazka has had 43 wins this way and lost none.

Adam (who posted earlier) has won 490 and lost 14 due to timeouts.

The Cavaliar has 379 wins and lost 31.

Your running stat is

wins on time out 0. losses on time 1

But you won't be able to see this until you have played 6 rated games.

According to the game info this was an unrated game anyway.So no points lost or gained by anyone.

Thanks everyone ... I am new on here and that was the only game so far I have played.
I was just a little surprised by his attitude, apparently he only plays 1 day games with no extra time. A new experience for me ...
If anyone is up for a game let me know
Thanks again
Martin

I can't play one day games, not being here weekends. I prefer 7 day games over 3 day games... a bit of time to think. Always view the terms of a game's time to ensure they are in your range of being able to make moves before time runs out.

Click anyone's profile, you'll see most users have suffered a time out here or there.

mwmiller's RULE #1

Before ever starting any game, review the game info and the time rules for that game. If you're not happy with anything, delete the game immediately.

he is not a subscriber and can only play a limited number of games at a time, so maybe he just wants to play more often than you.

also, someone noted the game was unrated. so it's not like he's out to get your rating points.
