I know a lot of time has passed since this question went unanswered, back then I was not willing to share a ilttle secret I have but things had changed and here is the answer.
When you save a game and later(days or hours) both opponents meet again in a room, yahoo sends you an invitation to join the table were the other guy is at. This inivtation is also send if you left a room and left a game pending and then you come back to that room. And guess what? This is the same invitation that Yahoo sends for tournament games.
YaY Ultimate 3 (to be released in x-mas day) now includes an opcode that detects this invitation. If a new variable called "schedule" is on, YaY will automatically observe that table and Yahoo will automatically sit you in the corresponding color. By default this "schedule" variable is off. Be aware that if you received one of these Yahoo Invitation to join a room (not to be confused with other user's invitations) while you are observing/playing a game and the variable "schedule" is on, then YaY will automatically make your ID stand(if seated) and leave that table to go to the scheduled table.
This is also a very usefull tool for those playing long games and get disconnected. If your opponents waits for you and does not let anybody sit, then when you comeback you can automatically come back straight to that table to continue the game.
Now, to make your engine continue a game that was left pending is another story and well beyond the scope of YaY but I will give you hints: In polyglot I think all you have to do is enter the command "refresh", in chessbase is more complicated and you are in your own here.
YaY Ultimate's team hates cheating and cheaters but I know for a fact that 99% of people playing in Yahoo Chess Tournaments are using engines and moving manually.
Cheers,
more time you did a great job in 3 yay hope to be ready as soon as possible, I do not see many as the time to enjoy all potential yay 3.
