I've never accepted a lopsided challenge in my opponents favor
we'll just have to wait and see if you can escape being embarrassed
if you ever make or accept a challenge
Originally posted by lemondrop the real embarrassment lies in their incompetence to begin with
This coming from a clan leader (sorry about misuse of the word in this case) who had their
entire clan bolt on them for tossing clan challenges to carrobie's previous clan a while back.

untrue
it was a single challenge between robbie and me
and I deselected my clan members and none that I am aware of bolted
these are the facts, spin them anyway you want

Why the hell did you draw this game? You have it in your pocket, you just took his queen and then you draw? Why?
Oh, and btw, because of your cheating and your boasting, your karma has to be sucking the bottom of the barrel right now.
Oh my dear one, after malingerer55 takes my queen not only will he be up a pawn, but has the very real prospects of creating a passed pawn on the queenside where he has a two on one majority. For me to try to create enough counter play elsewhere to compensate for this would be quite difficult indeed, i was lucky to get away with a draw. Have the game in my pocket? Wow, you must try to be objective. Objectivity is paramount in chess.
Originally posted by Wycombe Al some of the clan leaders who accepted these challenges have now realised what is going on and dare to say feel a bit embarrased about being suckered in
Thats strange i feel no qualms of conscience, infact we welcome all challenges. If people wanna play chess they should not be stopped because of these Puritans.

This is a much more interesting case. Here my opponent and i had talked of a draw for some moves and with accurate play the game should have been a draw but we decided that we should play it out. I blundered badly but my opponent offered a draw in what i consider to be a winning position. See below, black to move.
Lol white should win this I think but Karma saved me when my opponent offered a draw.
Infact here is the game against the same opponent where I blunder a piece early but Karma saves me when my opponent traps his own queen.
Originally posted by mghrn55 actually, this was a draw.
The queen capture is a front end of a queen exchange.
Then leads to equal material and position.
Now that I look at it, you're right.
I guess that's why you're 1700+ and I'm 1000 on a good day. 😕

All that is sheer luck and has nothing at all to do with "karma".

You don't welcome 'challenges', you only welcome sucking up points that are handed to you.
You feel no qualms of conscience because you planned all this to get an immoral head start on everyone. And oh, yeah, because you're a scumbag.

sorry i was talking about leaders that have taken up challenges with Anti Metallica not Easy Riders challenges against other clans
