Subject: FICS and expired time

Author: Eric Oldre

I've had my engine playing on FICS for about a week now and have had several
games where the opponents clock runs out but there is no end to the game. I
expected that if the opponents clock runs out that FICS would declare the game a
victory.

My question is:
do i need to have my engine detect if the opponent has gone over the time limit
and report a result? or do i not understand the rules on clocks correctly?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric Oldre
