Probably >all games of yours, as you won't be able to even maintain 1300 level without >it. I used computer in all the games that I played but it is not considered to be cheating. But more important: how many corr games did you win because >of a time claim from you? I won no correspondence game because of time claim. There was one case when my opponent(GM abir har aven) got warning but he lost because of a forced mate and not because of a time claim. The rules say 30 days for 10 moves but I need to believe the opponent about the time that he got the mail because I have no way to check it. In the case of har aven he used 32 days for 10 moves. He got a warning and the rules say that if a player get a warning counting the time begin again and only second warning is a loss so practically he had 30 days for moves 11-20 and he did not use more than 30 days for moves 11-20 so I did not win on time. Future championship of Israel in correspondence chess are going to be played only by email. Uri
