How can your opponent delete the game but still allow your timebank to deplete?

Thanks for any help.

That statement is contradictory. Either your opponent has trash-binned the game (available first 2-3 moves only) in which case the game no longer exists and its associated time control has also disappeared; or you can still see a time control which means the game is still in existence. More details would be useful.

If you're talking about Game 8262040, your opponent has attempted to promote a pawn but apparently not finished the job, so it's showing "incomplete game history" on that game in the Public Games page. Try sending him a PM, he may be able to access the board, otherwise sending feedback may be necessary.

Many Thanks, sorry my explanation was somewhat garbled and unclear.

It is Game 8262040 . What concerns me is how can this happen, there must be a flaw in the RHP system to allow this.Mammal has already moved,promoting the pawn but they now have a second move!!! Mammal also gave the impression by message they not would lose the game or at least prolong it further to avoid defeat!
Messaging them will serve no purpose as I'm convinced this is a 'trick' they have performed in order to prevent them losing the game, and while their timebank is depleting I feel they now can move a second time by Queening the promoted pawn which they have alreadty moved! It should now be my move not theirs!!!

In fact after hitting submit on a move when the pawn hits the endline you get a new window asking you to chose your figure. It seems however that this can be used to stall a game infinitely.

So there should be something in the programming code, that the skull will appear anyway. But how? The default piece should be a Queen. BUt if the Queen would give chekcmate we would be in a tight spot (not the case here)

Since the pawn promotion move is a two-part process, the initial moving of the pawn to the 8th rank should be ignored until the promotion process is completed. Once the pawn is moved AND promoted, the move would be considered as completed.

If the promotion selection part of the move is not done, the clock should continue to run as if no move has been made at all, which would be technically correct.

I'm not a "code monkey" like Russ, but it would probably require adding a subroutine that kicks in when a pawn-promotion move is encountered, since it needs to be handled differently than other standard moves.

thanks guys for the replys, I have sent feedback about the situation.
As has been said, as my opponent has not completed their move, their clock should still be run down as it was with the skull but since moveing the pawn to the 8th rank their clock has reinstated time and the skull gone!
