Christians aren't perfect just forgiven. I believe that's a lie that Satan uses, is to think that Christians should have to be perfect. And another lie he uses is I need to get my life perfect before I can follow God.
Some quidelines for you on how the game is played:
Your opponent decides what opening moves they make,
Your opponent decides how much of the agreed time limits he uses,
If your opponent decides to resign,he decides when

No they don't. It's not a good move, but it's not losing.

Under masters games it only has 3 matches of Qh5 non for Qf3.
Originally posted by RBHILLI don't think Paul was saying you had to be perfect. If I may, I believe he was suggesting a statement like that was unbecoming of someone who appears to be Christian, and I would agree with Paul's statement. Also, we are called to be imitators of Christ which is the process of sanctification. You need to revisit sanctification 101.

I apologize in advance for blurring the spirituality and chess forum. lol Just couldn't help myself.
Per this thread-you owe your opponent an apology. He is entitled to play within his time controls regardless of the position. The only one who showed bad etiquette here is yourself.

Originally posted by RBHILLPercentages don't tell you a move is losing. Say there are 100 games in which black does very well in an opening. However, someone comes up with a novelty that gives white the better position. So all the masters stop playing that opening as Black. The stats in the database remain overwhelmingly positive for black, even though the correct evaluation of the line is favorable for white.

Originally posted by RBHILLWhy are you looking at databases?
I wouldn't because Chess databases have that at a losing position.
You chess knowledge should tell you that 2.Qf3 is not the best move
in that position. But it's legal and it has won games.
If you cannot see why then give S.G.a game and play it. A free lesson.
Look at the RHP database.
http://www.redhotpawn.com/gamesexplorer/index.php?movelist=&flip=0&co=-&u=-1&c=1400
White wins some. White losses some.
The % scores high for Black.
Not the full story - Checkmates under 10 moves (it may be higher)
are not stored in the RHP database.
Look got my 2010 mate in Game 7205939 it's not there
and the DB has been updated since then.
I can tell you this - in this position.
There are 698 White unrecorded RHP wins 10 moves and under on here.
Too few moves to go into the DB. That would tip it towards White.
Databases - Huh!
