...In game id 158090 there is only 2 kings left and the 50 half moves sincs the last pawn move or capture has past and even though ive offered a draw every move he wont exept.

I know this is cruel but i am asking you yo boycott him untill he accepts the draw.

Sorry Zach.

I thought the software had been fixed so that 2 kings would automatically be recognised as a draw - obviously not 🙁

Anyway, do the decent thing zach!

But why didn't you accept the draw immediately? If there were only the two kings left, what could you possible achieve by playing on other than the frustration of your opponent?

Yes, that's a bit stretched and ridiculous.....not to mention child-like!

Let's not be too hard on him though... I've had players do this against me more than once. A long time ago when I was playing a top ranked player (doesn't play here now) he did the two King waltz I assume because he didn't want to spoil his, up to then, record of always winning.

Manipulation of the system and VERY poor sportmanship.

This is so sad...kinda like "Unit, Corp, God, Country"

I hope everyone reads what type of a player our friend here is and avoids him like the plague...I know he will never get to play me.

Zach-Don't do something like that again. MAP is a thing to take cheeky potshots at, and nothing more. That game was and is a draw.

You crossed the line with #2. That's a cheap shot and it's blatantly ridiculous. What a sportsman we have here eh folks?

Thanks Zack. Let us all remember "http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/viewhistory.php?gameid=67345"

I think the difference beween Zack's game and the one above it that in the other game both players continued for the sake of becoming the longest game at Red Hot Pawn.

OK Zach, I'll be the one to put out the hand of sportsmanship. You are more than welcome to challenge me. I agree with you gentlemen that it may be poor sportsmanship of him not to stalemate, but hey...you have to give the guy credit for putting up a good fight to the end. Le us all be gentlemen about it and let it be another lesson learned for us all. 😉
