Let's hope TorpedoRun is right
I think one of our players has got a problem. A few weeks ago, TorpedoRun has had a heart attack. And now he is not to be seen online for about a month. He is starting to lose all his games on time. I hope he is well and will give us some news from him very soon.

Re: Let's hope TorpedoRun is right
AFter a vacation, then eight days after his clock started again, TorpedoRun came back and made moves in each of his two games with me, but that was nine days ago, and his time in both games is now about to run out. TorpedoRun is a real gentleman, and a very strong player, and I hope nothing tragic has happened to him. Thanks for attempting to make this contact, EELDROP, and please let us know if you find out anything.

TorpedoRun is a class act, he turned 82 not to long. I'm saddened to hear of his heart attack, i hope he recovers quickly.

Re: Let's hope TorpedoRun is right
yep i get a lot of challenges where people don't play, it's annoying i've told admin about they said they put a time limit where if players don't move with a certain number of days the games would be aborted, but they haven't done so, why do you mention it?

I think Caissa should create a new section with all the unfinished games after a minimum of moves. It is not correct to say they have 400 results if 75 of them start with 1 e4 and that's it.
Also they shouldn't give any ratings points to the winner. They used to do like that in the old site.
 
I think the minimum number of moves should be at least 10 unless one of the players got mated before move 10.
