MadMonkey:Aaah! Now i can see _your_ point at least and yes, this should be fixed in a way!

But i still believe my request was a different one: if a player _accepts_ to move by clicking on the game, then the countdown counts
and the timing out may happen within that move, e.g. after 10 seconds for _oned_ backgammon-move or three minutes for one logic-move. or lets say there is a 7-day time-limit for a chess game but as soon as you move, you can not exceed ten minutes moving time for the whole match.

And fencer, i agree that the option "no vacation" excludes the discussed problem - but tell me what dou you think of the mentioned idea of mine!
