Originally posted by flexmoreGroup 60, through a fairly bizarre set of circumstances, isn't complete yet.
it comes up as:
"Status Round Complete
Round 1 "
yet also:
"1677 2007 Championship 1 590 In progress "
i guess the remaining games do not affect the winners.
so when does the next round begin? does russ have to do something?
And branco still has a couple of days up his sleeve... or I could stuff up.

Originally posted by orfeoI've been moving as soon as I get my turn for the last 2 weeks of my timebank. good thing I've had insomnia and slept only 3-4 hours a night. the games have been won for ages, but I'm still in danger to lose on time 1-2 queens up against his lone king. 1 day left for both of us.
My opponent is now preventing me from claiming a timeout by being on vacation. While still moving, of course.
it feels like I was blitzing 5 0 and losing on time. for a month. this is not what correspondence chess should be like.
I really, really, REALLY hate this hard 60 day limit. and probably won't play one next year.

Just completed group 60. Opponent ultimately resigned both games, and I think I owe him an apology for any suggestion that his vacation behaviour wasn't genuine.
The remaining game I claimed the timeout, on the grounds that my opponent has barely been sighted for a couple of months and will make the next round anyway.
Group 36 is also complete, so does that mean we're done with round 1? Then roll on round 2, where I can get squashed like a bug!
