:h1 res=5500.abort
:p.
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.

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".

:h1 res=002.accept
:p.
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 than one player challenges
you, you need to supply the desired player's name as an argument.
