Chessrascal - Terte +:-

Hi guys The Statutes (Section 10(F)(i)) states “At the Agreed Game Time both players are expected to be logged in to the chess server present and ready to play…” The automated players’ ICC logs clearly show that chessrascal was on line and available to play the game at the agreed time 18:30 5/15/08 and for the duration of the 30 minute grace period and that terte was not logged in to the ICC server. Furthermore the Statutes (Section 10(F)(iii) states “A player who has not logged in within the 30-minute Grace Period forfeits the game” This statute guides my ruling and I have no option but to award a forfeit loss to terte. The score for the game is +:- In addition, and in accordance with the Statutes (Section 17(A)(i), it is likely that terte will have his reliability rating adjusted by -1. If terte, or his captain, believe that the statutes have not been applied correctly then they are to make a declaration to that effect in the forum within 24 hours of the time of this ruling being posted.
