Yes you can do that. But the beauty of the 'resume' command is that it issues a continuation request for "all" the unfinished games. It is quite tedious to have to first figure out what your unfinished games are, and then issue a 'match' for each one.hgm wrote: I think that to resume a game, you simply have to match the opponent with which you had an adjourned game. The adjourned game than takes precedence over any new game you were trying to start.
This is especially useful for hosted engines (bots). I is very difficult for the bot to get the list of unfinished games. It is easier to just issue one command (regardless of how many unfinished games there are).
As Matthew has said, in FICS and ICC, when you send an abort command and there are very few moves in the game, the other player does not have to agree. The game gets canceled.hgm wrote: Abort requires both players to abort the game, and WinBoard does not automatically reciprocate an abort proposal. So when playing against a bot, abort does not work.
This is very useful for situations where you make a mistake in accepting a game. You thought you were playing against Anand, when it was AnandX (a computer account).
Without this auto-cancel behavior, one ends-up with tons of unfinished games.
Btw, I'm not expecting you to fix any of these. I'm just giving feedback.hgm wrote: The "seek f" thing sounds as a genuine Lasker-2.2.3 bug. I am not sure if I will be able to fix such bugs; I have only looked at about 10% of the code, only the part involving the actual game (parsing moves and checking their legality).
