(e) When a stale-mate occurs.


TIME LIMIT.

The penalty for exceeding the time limit is the forfeiture of the
game.

It shall be the duty of each player, as soon as his move be made,
to stop his own register of time and start that of his opponent,
whether the time be taken by clocks, sand-glass, or otherwise. No
complaint respecting an adversary's time can be considered, unless
this rule be strictly complied with. But nothing herein is intended
to affect the penalty for exceeding the time limit as registered.


ABANDONING THE GAME.

If either player abandon the game by quitting the table in anger,
or in an otherwise offensive manner; or by momentarily resigning
the game; or refuses to abide by the decision of the Umpire, the
game must be scored against him.

If a player absent himself from the table, or manifestly ceases to
consider his game, when it is his turn to move, the time so
consumed shall, in every case, be registered against him.
