Well said, it's got nothing to do with ability. If it's not too corny; I've got more respect for the worst chess player in the world with a good attitude than the best player in the world who throws their toys out of the perambulator when they start losing. That was a bit corny, wasn't it....?

I suspect that your purpose is to blow off some steam and you are not seriously looking for any changes in rules here.
Also I realized after posting that a person might have an elevated "wins by timeout" because their jaded opponents failed to complete lost games, not just because they'd chain-dragged opponents to death, so it's probably unfair to make that a chain-drag indication.
Again, I've appreciated the various reflections. See you on a board sometime.

Originally posted by hopscotchNo, you don't. Well, maybe you do, but this is not an example of it.
I wish this site had a chess forum where people could go and discuss matters relating to chess. Seem outrageous, I know, but I like to think outside of the box.
Now if you advocated discussing anything in any forum, or even not putting restrictions on a forum called the General Forum (everyone thinks they know what the General Forum should be), then you would be thinking outside the box.
