Hi folks,

Since the applet problem is fixed, timeouts will resume on Sunday. Any games with overdue moves will time out on Sunday morning UK time!

Hi,

If you timed out, it was because you went beyond the agreed time limits for the game. That's really easy in ultrafast tourneys.

The timeouts mechanism has never, in over a decade of use, incorrectly timed-out a game. In the first several years, I checked literally hundreds of reports. It simply doesn't happen.

The timeouts mechanism isn't confused by DST changes, no.
