Change in how Game Clocks start
Sort:
Jay, what about the people who still have 3 days left and still haven't moved in the current tournaments ?
In all of these games, you should NOW see their clock is running.
yes thanks Jay, just seeen the time adjusted on the two games..
What about people who wont make the first move in tournament games they have to open?Im playing a guy who timed out the game i started and hasnt moved in the second match. Its been about 4-5 days now and he's not going to move by the looks of it. What happens now?
His last login date was March 9th.. is your opponent aware his tournament games have started ?
We have just recently changed how games begin on Chess.com, including tournament games. The clocks now start the moment the game begins, and the player has the fully allotted time of the time control to make their first move, the same way it would work on any successive moves. Prior to this, we always just allowed 3 days for someone to make their first move, but realized this doesn't make as much sense. So now you should see all your (FUTURE) tournament games begin right when the tournament starts.
