Gather a sufficient amount of people, and you will find someone willing to do anything. FL's player base is large enough, and the requirements for a chess-match are low enough (read: almost nonexistent) that, if there's a way to abuse it, it will be abused every now and then.
What I can't help but wonder is why would that be "abuse", since IIRC even if you lose a match you gain some rewards - and I don't remember any accompanying menaces, qualities tracking losses, or other penalties. So the only reason to run from a match would be to spite your opponent. I honestly wonder whether that's a real problem, or whether FBG are just over-engineering to fix things that don't need fixing, to the detriment of everyone's convenience.

For what it's worth, I don't think the player's been online at all for about a month, so I think this is less malice than forgetfulness.
It's still really frustrating, though. I hope support gets back to me soon.

For I was hungry, and you gave me rats. I was thirsty, and you gave me rats. I was naked, and you gave me rats. The rodents were gathered together, the cats slept in the Sun’s blindness, and the rats rose like the Moon, in the light at the edge of the cheese.

Honestly, you should ALWAYS be able to drop a chess match. I was stuck in one for a long long time.

The same mechanic is used for Sparring (lethal or not) and also for the election debates. And in those cases there were penalties for losing, so I understand their reason for blocking withdrawing at the last step. But it's still a problem with these mechanics.
