Yikes ! Given the newness of this online tournament one would hope the
participants would adopt some flexibility in anticipating internet problems.
If anything he could lobby to play the entire match over starting tomorrow.
This way he gets the rest and the white pieces again, given the first game

Are there any pre-tournament rules that cover online problems?
