WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GAME WHEN A DISCONNECTION OCCURS?
-----------------------------------------------------

In most cases, the game is stored (adjourned). However, these special cases
apply:

 o For games between two registered players, a game where less than a certain 
   number of moves (currently 5) have been played is aborted.

 o For games with an unregistered user (either registered-unregistered or
   unregistered-unregistered), if the unregistered player disconnects he/she
   forfeits the game. If the registered player disconnects the game is
   aborted.

 o If both players have their noescape variable set, the disconnecting side 
   will lose the game.

 o If a user on the abuser list disconnects, his/she loses the game
   automatically. 

WHAT DO I DO WITH A STORED (ADJOURNED) GAME?
--------------------------------------------

If you get disconnected, try to log on again as soon as possible and resume
the game. If your opponent is the one who lost connection, please be patient 
and give him/her a chance to return. If you do not manage to resume the game, 
please follow the instructions in the adjudicate helpfile.
