Current scores: GB 1093, AC 808, TG 60. AC can't claim again until 07:52:57 tomorrow unless another player makes a valid claim in the meantime.

It's going to be difficult, though not impossible, to win from this position!

It's 18 hours, not 24!

It's 18 hours of playing time, which including the 6 hours downtime is 24 hours of actual time.

It should be 12 hours real tine next game. Hopefully I'll win though (I have a strategy).

Well, you did propose the rule yourself! I agree that the current arrangements are unsatisfactory for a two-player game. Let's discuss them when this game has ended.

How about you claim, and let me spoil it? I might win then!

Current scores: GB 1093, AC 808, TG 60 (unchanged from yesterday).

There are now 18 hours of playing time left (24 hours of real time). Unless another player makes a valid claim, AC can only make one claim during that period. My lead is 285 and so AC needs to make a successful claim of at least 286 points to win. Unlikely but not impossible!
