TCCMB Chess Quote of the Week
"If your opponent cannot do anything active, then don't rush the position.
Instead you should let him sit there, suffer, and beg you for a draw."

Message:   Hi Gino,

I don't think your answer is sufficient here. In any case the rule applies that during a tournament the playing rules cannot be changed, which means that the former webserver rules apply in Robin's case (tournament started before 2007).

In these pre-2007 server rules it is required:
1. to inform the TD about the delay
2. and the TD must have agreed to a reflection time longer than 40 days.

No informing of the opponent was required at all but, more importantly, the TD must have agreed to a longer delay.
Exactly this latter requirement #2 is omitted in the 2007 webserver rules, when it was necessary to convince the TD of the necessity of a delay longer than 40 days. It has been replaced by a weaker version in which a player only needs to announce (to the TD and the opponent) that he takes more that 40 days but needs no explanation for that.

In my view in Robin's case he only needs to wait until more than 40 days have been passed without a move of his opponent.
And then he should simply claim the win because the TD hasn't indicated that he has agreed to a longer delay.

Best wishes,
Wim
