Why/How are so many people cheating on yahoo chess. 3 out the 4 last games I've played should have ended with?

Question

3 of last 4 games my opponite ran out of time in a rated game but they continued to play with no time. Can you not fix this. I'm through with yahoo unless this is fixed. I'll get new e-mails and never turn yahoo on again.

PS If I don't here from you I'll take for granted you can not fix.

Answer 1

Ray: take for granted we cannot fix.

Answer 2

It's been like that for many years and isn't going to change people behind an alias do what they want online when they aren't paying a hefty sum of their own money to be part of any server.



Forget about online chess play with real people!
