Vacations

I want to use my 20 days of vacations, but how can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Just stop playing. Once your time runs out in a game a vacation days is triggered and you get 24 extra hours on each game.

You dont have to do anything, it all goes automatically.

You don't have to do anything, but if you prepare for your vacation by running down your clock in just one game while staying current in all your other games, then while you are on vacation, that one game will have from 0 to 24 hours, while all the other games will stay within 24 hours of whatever they were. That way, when you get back from vacation, the only game you will have to build your time back up in, is that one game. All the other games will be just about the way they were when you left.

I don't think you actually win anything with the tactic of David...

If you are able to play all the games but one, you can as well play that one... Let say you wanna leave in a certain month from 11th to 30th. Like David puts it you could prepare from 1st on by avoid playing in one game. That way you would actually get 20 triggered days of vacation. If you don't, the first time a vacation day is triggered would be 19th or 20th, resulting in 11 days triggered. So you have left 9 days. The chance that you loose one or 2 days by not be able to 'build' up in one of your games is greater that way, but if you happen to not be able to build up that one and only game in Davids' method you loose it by time out, which is worse.

The bottomline is... keep all your games ongoing before you leave.

People find it polite if you at your vacation to your username (like :"Hjallti (away till dec 28th)"), it is less frustrating to wait if you know for how long.

Games do not win themselves.

In this game the vacation time never was applied to it..the reader will have appreciated that all that technique offers is the; [Do we have any problem with time vacation?]... that, that..., the reader should notice that in some position will have appreciated that all that technique offers is the information that there are possibilites. What the possibilities are must be worked out imaginatively, or laboriously with a counting of fingers,and possibly, an abacus or/and maybe use during the 21 days vacation time. (It has never been decided whether there were an option for me resign/draw/vacation or any consious or unconsious act or any intentions for this action to take place); it has never been decided thru my email notification or any choices of options to decided whether there is a penalty on a a chess player <

One of the great advantages of chess technique is that when you begin to see it, you can begin to apply more of your effort toward analyzing and preparing for situations realistically.

Please I request an a RETR0-Investigation of circumstances that force this outcome, and/or explain "WHY" the 21 days vacation time never... was not applied "NEVER" to this time event.
