I wonder if it wasn't possible to "adjourn" the existing game as some commentator suggested. To explain better the procedure the following excerpt is from FICS: (...) "adjourn" is a request to your opponent that a game be discontinued and saved for later play. If a proposal to adjourn is pending for you, then typing "adjourn" (or "accept") will accept the offer. Adjourned games are saved on the chess server. The "adjourn" request is used in two situations during a chess game. (1) You wish to adjourn the game for some reason. "Adjourn" sends a request to your opponent that your game be adjourned. Your opponent can accept or decline your offer. (2) Your opponent has run out of time and you believe that a problem has occured with his/her connection to the chess server. Rather than "flag" your opponent and claim a win on time, you can "adjourn" the game. The adjourn request is accepted automatically (a courtesy adjournment). Games that are adjourned can be resumed later when your opponent is logged on by using the "match" command. Adjourned games can be resigned even when your opponent is not logged on. You can examine adjourned games using the "examine" feature. They can also be adjudicated by an admin (see the "adjudication" help file). For more information on these options, see the "adjournments" help file. Use "stored" to view the list of your adjourned games. (...) w.b.r. Otello
