Yesterday afternoon, I'm sure I had more than a day left for one of my games (the one against GoodKnight). This afternoon, around 20 hours later, I came back to the game to find it marked `time exhausted'. Luckily, my opponent had not claimed the game on time and I've made my move.

Hmm, this is maybe [as a result of..], the "two clocks running" ["deadly"] effect... :-(

I am sorry to agree.

I am sure I had 1 day left before wake up in the next day and find out that I lost by time in this game:

Thanks for looking to this problem.

I'll run a test tonight when I have time to watch the site for a while.

No, no way 8-) , look at this: http://www.queenalice.com/playergames.php?id=2922
Member Losloper, he is super-strong player, he was lost 11. games in series [!!!], all [of course] => "time expired" status...
It is a very obviosly, that this "two clocks running" system, are wrong...[or something else...]

Please, don't forget this a free site and don't forget also that Miguel uses his free time in order to offer he possibility to play free chess in our free time.

Also, there is a simple solution: Don't wait to make your move until you have less than one day in order Miguel can have time to fix the problem (if there is one) without causing you any difficulty.

I have had any problem.

Thanks. Manuel.
