ICC Help: stored

Command:  stored
Examples:  "stored" -- shows a list of your stored (adjourned) games.
 "stored Fred" -- shows a list of Fred's stored games.

This command lists all of the adjourned games of the specified player. If the player is omitted, it uses your name. Games are stored when one player quits, the players agree to adjourn, or the system is shutdown. Both players must be registered for a game to be stored.

If you have a stored game with Fred, for example, you can use any of these commands:

"match Fred"           to offer to continue the game, if Fred is logged in.

"resume"               to send an offer to resume any of your stored games.

"resign Fred"          to resign it.

"draw Fred"            to offer a draw to Fred (he will get a message with
                       the offer, and if he issues a draw command also,
                       the game will be a draw).

"abort Fred"           same as the draw command, but offers to abort the
                       game.

Please use "resume" frequently to resume your stored games.

Please make an effort to finish your stored games. Before playing a new opponent, check "stored" to see if any of your "stored opponents" are logged in. If you are clearly losing a stored game, please resign it. You can do this even if your opponent is not logged in.

If you are clearly winning a stored game, and you never see your opponent logged in, you can ask an for an adjudication. But please read "help adjudicate" BEFORE sending a message to the "adjudicate" account.

You can view the position of a stored game with the sposition command. You can see the moves of the game with the smoves command.

If you never want to have to deal with adjourned games and resuming, please read help noescape.
