How long does it take to win a game by default? I have two opponents that have ignored repeated game reminders. This has been going on for almost three weeks. :-O

I think it is 30 days. Can you not claim the game (clock icon)? I realize that each only has a single move so perhaps there is no claim option(?).

Your first page of games is all challenges, which can also be cancelled during the first few moves, if that seems a more honourable option. Why not try to find a new opponent who is into making moves with some regularity?

On your "My games" page, the games that have timed out should have a little ringing alarm clock next to them. Click on that to claim the game on time. However, given that the games in question have only had one move each, I suggest you just click the red cross icon to cancel the game. Claiming a win just because your opponent never responded to 1.e4 doesn't seem right to me.

The win does not work automatic.
You have eigher claim the win by clicking on the alarm clock or cancel the game.

@Sorim: It does work automatically, but only thirty days after the game times out. That's thirty-seven days after you made your last move, on average. Note that this site doesn't tell you the time that has passed after your opponent goes over the time limit, once he does.

I believe I have also seen the option to delete a non-tournament game due to time overruns later in the game, so there's still room for the chivalrous to forgive the reluctant.
