I have no idea what motivates other players and its ludicrous to think that I do. Furthermore i am responsible for no one but myself and my clan. Furthermore you can resign any game, at any time, for any reason you like, it is not against the rules of this site, the rules of chess or anything else. If you do not not like that or understand it then ...[text shortened]... challenges that are numerically won so don't give me any of your wash about it. Capiche? good.
Sir, That is a 24 game match with 12 players each having two games each. When Mctayto resigned his two games it gave an advantage to Easy Riders...Had he won the both game like he should have the Clan match would be tied at 3-3 right now.
It was not like Easy Riders had the Clan Match all won, the Clan match had just gotten underway. The clan match was not decided at this point. UNLESS OF COURSE IT WAS....Lets leave it at that.
This has nothing to do with FIDE this has to do with teams on an internet site in collusion to beat one team. I would like every player who reads this to go look at that clan tournament in question.
IF the clan match had already been decided and easy riders had already won it, then of course that would change everything, and I would see no harm in Mctayto resigning his games, as the clan match would have already been won....THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!!!!
The conduct shown is absolutely disgraceful!!!
