Description Quim Gil (reporter) 2011-09-11 08:20:03 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION: 
master

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Join as guest (since your registered user might have the autoflag enabled
already)
2. Join from your PC, also as guest. Launch a new "seek 1 0 m"
3. Accept the game and do the first 1-2 moves on each side.
4. Wait until the PC player goes below 0 time.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: 
Miniature player wins.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: 
The counter continues -1, -2... also in the FICS server. Miniature can't issue
a flag so who knows how long that might go. Eventually the Miniature player can
run out of time as well. If the PC player calls flag manually or automatically
the game will be resolved as 

"{Game 169 (GuestBZJB vs. GuestYYMR) Game drawn because both players ran out of
time} 1/2-1/2"

REPRODUCIBILITY: 
always

0.4? The implementation seem simple, just tell the FICS server "set autoflag 1"
after logging in.

Proposing for 0.5 - needs to be confirmed.

Comment 2 Quim Gil (reporter) 2011-09-21 00:37:22 UTC

I'm finding myself in this situations quite often. There is no way of finishing
the game unless the opponent decides to move or go away. Increasing severity.

I sweat a lot to recover a piece and even snatch another one, then opponent
runs out of time... The only option for Miniature player is to close app or
resign.
