Here is Game #2 from my ICC correspondence quad. This is a game that I should have won on time forfeit. My opponent overstepped the time control on move #9 and I am sure that I complained about it. However, it appears that he was never warned about it. When he overstepped the second time control on move 36 I complained again and tried to claim the win on time forfeit. The TD said that my opponent was not warned before and thus no win on time forfeit! I had to settle for a draw in a game that I should have won! Why have time limits if you are not going to enforce them? Why let a repeat offender off with just a warning each time he oversteps the time control? My record at ICC for correspondence chess is 9 wins, 10 losses, and 3 draws. This win that I was robbed of would have had me at an even score!
