Unfinished games question

Post by kirkmc »

Another thread about disconnection made me think of something. I have a bunch of games in my Resume list that are counted as unfinished, but that were games which were parts of lessons. I guess the teacher set them up as private games rather than teaching games. But I'm wondering; is one of us (the teacher or myself) going to be considered eventually as an escaper because of all those unfinished games?

no, to my knowledge only R games are counted against you. You can escape all the F and T games you like without risking forfeiting games.

In T games it often happens that the teacher, at some point, takes control to review without the game having finnished. if neither player resigned these games end up looking as unfinished games.

They're marked as P games... I guess that's the same as F though.

I thought P games could be anything except R games.

P games can be any type of game, to my knowledge, even R games. Only way to know is to open them up and look at the game info.

I just tried it.

In a private room you don't have the option to play R games.
In other rooms, if you check the private box, you can not select R game anymore either.

Good experiment. I stand corrected.
