does anyone seriously think it's "fair" to do nothing but try and force a draw when you find yourself in a losing position??? and the "people do it to me" excuse is pretty weak by the way...
Originally posted by fatherdeathWhy resign when you can force a draw? Not only is it fair, any true chess player lives to do that very thing.
why not resign if you won't try to win? you spend the entire game trying to win, then the second you have 1 less piece then your opponent you go for a draw?? thats more cowardly then anything else to me.
Originally posted by fatherdeathWell, your opinion is more ignorant than anything else to me.

Learn to protect your King if you want to win with your extra piece. Or take up something more your speed, like checkers or knitting.
Edit: Yep, found it. Game 10416783. You screwed it up. You had a win, and blew it. Suck it up and take the draw.
Originally posted by fatherdeathForcing a draw when you can't win is part of strategy. Preventing your opponent from forcing a draw when HE can't win is part of strategy. Nothing to do with fairness.

Originally posted by fatherdeathOf course it's fair. If you find that you can force a draw, you are not in a losing position.

Originally posted by fatherdeathI made a list of things that are considered rude, unfair - in general against sport spirit, and I made a list of in/to/do things, recommended thing.
