A possibly difficult ruling to make, so maybe some assistance required to come up with the right decision according to the laws of chess.

Ziah first over-stepped the 7 day time control, but I did not notice it before Ziah made his move on day 8. Now Zwischenzug has over-stepped the time control.

Neither player has claimed flag fall in this game.

Now according to the laws of chess.


6.9 A flag is considered to have fallen when the arbiter observes the fact or when either player has made a valid claim to that effect.

6.10 Except where Articles 5.1 or one of the Articles 5.2 (a), (b) and (c) apply, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player.

I have observed that both players flags have fallen, with Ziah's being the first.

Therefore, the correct decision seems to be ??

It is most fortunate for all concerned that I am blessed with the wisdom of Solomon. Forget both instances. Issue a warning to both ... and play ball!

[Zwischenzug]

Play on? Or is the game forfeit? I'll play on anyway. I hope it isn't a forfeit, this game is getting interesting.

[Garvinator]

Play on? Or is the game forfeit? I'll play on anyway.
If both players want to play on, I will allow it, but I will be watching for the next person to over-step the time limit.

[Shark93]

I'll play on, i'll edit my move in when I get home.

[Garvinator]

Ziah has over stepped the time limit and therefore has lost.
