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

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. accept ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
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
you want to ask for different time controls, use the "match" command. If more
