I accepted one battle with player in this site and maked move like white, my competitor don't make move in 3 day timout, and he haven't any day of timebank. Why I can only delete game? Why I can't claim win? Someone who invites other people must be alert to play match. Can I do something, except deleting game. In status is written "opponents move" but his/her time is spended. Thanx for response.

Its good rule really, it means that if someone doesn't move you can just "bin" the game.

It keeps the site clear of clutter.

Otherwise you would be able to challenge inactive people and claim the win after the timeout period. You need to work for your points ;-)

So you read the site rules, chose to join up, now decide that the site rules are unfair on your poor little ego after all, and leave in a huff?

Good riddance.

Other sites have a similar rule, it's quite sensible in an online environment where people come, look, make a move or two and then leave the site.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Why is the grass always greener on the other side?

Why do you always find what you have lost in the last place you look?
