My opponent left the game thinking he had won the match 6–5!! He failed to take Rule 5.3 into account. I sent a message immediately, but got no response. After a 30-minute break—per Rule 5.5—is he normally declared to have forfeited?

It seems like a misunderstanding, but you still have one week to finish the match. Please communicate with your opponent to play the remaining games. Make sure that you play the right colour (the black player from the last game must be white next).
