I lost the British championship title match on time with one stone of a Canadian overtime period to go.
I found that rather more annoying than losing on KGS by time.

Let's substitute a pass for not playing in time! I hate to see games at KGS ended by time. |

So they pass, and then what? They still have no time left. |

I don't particularly like the idea, but with Japanese style byo-yomi, they would pass, and then be left with a single overtime period (or say 12 seconds for Fischer). You could even give them a whole new countdown period for Canadian timing. Sudden death is where this doesn't make sense to me, but that's less frequently used. |

Why? I usually interpret losing on time as a sign of improvement. It's when I lose and there was plenty of time on the clock that makes me upset. The latter, means, I have to reevaluate my fundamentals, the former just means, I need practice, with clock management. |

I lost the British championship title match on time with one stone of a Canadian overtime period to go. I found that rather more annoying than losing on KGS by time.

Sugiuchi Masao forgot about his clock and lost on time in an as yet undecided position during his game against 15-year-old Yao Zhiteng. So it seems like neither practice nor improvement solves the problem.
