- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. abort ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Command : abort Args : none Sends a request to your opponent to abort the
- game in progress, thus discarding it. If your opponent issued a similar
- request at most one move ago, the game ends with no ratings adjustment. If you
- want to save the game (in order to continue it later), you should adjourn it.
- If your opponent is out of time, you can use abort, and the game will be
- immediately aborted without waiting for the opponent to type "abort". Aborted
- games are listed in your history, for examination or mailing. See also:
- adjourn, pending aics% help abuse Indulging in any of the following is
- considered cheating or abuse and will result in deletion of your account, loss
- of games, or loss of rating points. (Special circumstances may occur that cause
- an incident described below to not be abuse. These cases will be handled at
- admins' discretion). 1. Disconnecting in a lost position and failing to return
- to finish the game: People doing this are placed on the "abusers" list. They
- automatically lose any game from which they disconnect. The above applies to
- rated games only. This list can be seen with "=abuser" or "help abusers".
- 2. Refusing to resume an adjourned game when the opponent asks. If you are a
- victim of this, read "help adjudicate". 3. Intentionally losing games to
- another user so as to inflate the other person's rating. Accepting the wins
- from the player who is intentionally losing is also abuse. 4. Playing the
- same player repeatedly during your provisional period in order to get an
- artificially high rating. Try not to play the same player more than 4 rated
- games during your provisional period (first 20 rated games). Playing most of
- your games against provisional players. 5. Having more than one account on ICS
- without informing the administrators about it. 6. Using a computer without
- telling the administrators and without putting a note in your finger: People
- have the right to know whether they are playing a human or a compute r. 7.
- Directing profanity at another user. Please note that lag-flagging is NOT
- abuse. Read "help lagflag". See also: abusers, computers, atmosphere

- Command : accept Args : <player> "accept" can be used to start a match
- against the player who challenged you using the time controls he proposed. If

- an argument. See also: match, pending aics% help ACM The ACM's 24th
