+adjournments
+
+ Adjourned games are stored by the server until one of three things occurs:
+(a) the game is later resumed and completed, (b) one player resigns, or (c)
+the game is adjudicated. Adjourned games can also be examined for purposes of
+analysis. Typed "stored" to view the list of your adjourned games. Games are
+adjourned either by agreement of both players or if a player disconnects
+suddenly; games are not adjourned if the server crashes, however.
+
+
+RESUMING AN ADJOURNED GAME
+
+ Your game can be resumed when your opponent is logged on to the server.
+Type "match opponent_name" to request that you and your opponent continue your
+game. Your opponent can either accept or decline this request.
+
+
+RESIGNING AN ADJOURNED GAME
+
+ Your game can be resigned even when your opponent is not logged on. Type
+"resign opponent_name" to do this. Your opponent will be notified of your
+decision.
+
+
+ADJUDICATION OF AN ADJOURNED GAME
+
+ If you have difficulty resuming your game with your opponent after repeated
+attempts, you can have your game adjudicated by an admin. The "adjudication"
+help file outlines the procedure to follow for requesting an adjudication.
+
+
+EXAMINING AN ADJOURNED GAME
+
+ You can examine an adjourned game using the "examine" command. You will be
+able to analyze possible continuations of the game. For the most part, this
+analysis has the same restrictions as adjournments for over-the-board chess
+games: consultation is permitted. However, when your game resumes, you must
+play without consultation or notes of any kind.
