Why am I seeing "last warning" with 31 d on the clock ?

Post by henk » Fri May 24, 2013 3:56 am

Hello, I'm a bit confused by this:
I got a reminder by mail that I hadn't made a move in 5 days, and in the my games list
today's date appears in the "last warning" column for game g1105155304.

In fact, I am well aware that I haven't moved for a few days. I don't have enough time
to analyse all my games properly so I am concentrating on a few of them and leave the
analysis of some of them for a little later, maybe this weekend or next. I wouldn't
have expected this to be against any rules.

If it's just a reminder, fair enough, but seeing "last warning" with today's date looks
worrying and after reading some related posts here I am having this creeping suspicion
that there might be a forfeit axe dangling over my head.

Can anyone please shed any light? Am I in danger of being forfeited with 31 days on the clock?
(I do know about the first move in 10 days rule, I read about it in a post, but this is not the
case in any of my games).

BR, Henrik (henk)

I understand it as "latest warning". RamaWolf

No worries, it's just a reminder.

Yea, the concept of "warning" is that you may have forgotten about it. You can use all the time on your clock.
