I am playing a game in WBCCC 2012 thread which is dead drawn,however i have 22 days on my clock whilst my opponent has less than 2 days.In a few moves time i could post a move that would be lost to me in long term,however my opponent  has so little clock time that as i have a lot of alternative white moves down the line,conditionals would not work.
A similar thing happened in 2007 when Rybka played Zappa and lost due i believe to 50 move rule.

want you an honest answer,Paul?

Of course.

well,if i were your opponent and you play a lossing move against me,just because i have 2 days in my time,and just to make me losse on time,i will take an easy strategy against you;i will program my phone to receive the emails from the server as soon as any move is made from you,dont matter the hour the move is made,and since is 1 hour of increment,and thinking you will play a lossing move,i can asure you that receiving the email in 'real-time',and puting my computer to start analising the game in 'real-time',and adding 1 hour to each one of my moves,you will end lossing the game

Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2012-05-09 23:01
Indeed.
Parent - By Barnard (Bronze) Date 2012-05-09 23:10
i need to be clear,i hope you will understand why

I would resign both of my games and play at a cc site that gave me four days per move! :yell:

The clock play too.  If you think you have chance to win, play and try win.
I am in identical position, but i have 2 days... lol and i am sure, i will not lost.

It's part of the strategy. Tal make unsound sacrifices. Lasker plays not objectively the best moves against his opponent. It would be more interesting if you haven't told us this now and only after the game. This is supposed to be a blitz game :smile:.

I think that it is up to you to try and win the game. If that means you try to run your opponents clock out, so be it! It has been done loads of times in OTB and CC. That is really the main reason that clocks were introduced into the games. If you play a losing move that runs your opponents clock out; it wasn't a losing move but a tactic to win. My take on the whole thing. If he wants to win bad enough he can use conditionals to outplay you; if he can. If not he loses. fini! :wink:
