Cheating

Yeah, that would work well. One offer per term, but the person has to
move.

Problem here seems to be that folks don't actually have to move, and
can just keep offering a draw.

Hopefully it will get fixed. At least 3 people are having problems with
this.

Oh, by the way. Dave is just a fine name 🙂

I wont waste my time looking at the game. Anyone with the gut to
insinuate someone is cheating by not accepting a draw does not
accept that chess is a game. I can't agree that someone offering draw
offers to stall is a cheat also. He is a sore loser.

That sounds like a reasonable idea. I've been offered several draws
in one game being up a queen and a rook. I laughed, and wrote a
polite message back saying "I think I want to finish this one, I'm too
far ahead." A polite note was all it took to bring my opponent in line
and finish the game. He didn't resign, but I worked on my endgame.
With the new limit on the number of games non-pawn stars can play,
it is rude not to play in a timely manner. Draws are part of the
game, but you shouldn't offer it unless you're ahead, or there is futile
play (Keeping the opposing king in endless check.) As far as those
two games are concerned, I'd love to be in those "obvious draw
posistions" that Inc is in in my games. Inc has fairly higher ratings
than R Kelly too. It would damage his rating to accept a draw from a
lower rated player. I hope R Kelly will play on and allow Inc to start
some more games by finishing those two.

Finally, someone agrees with me! You know what, R Kelly hasn't been offering draws on every one
of his moves, he's been offering many draws ON THE SAME MOVE! Isn't that against the rules even
now?

PS thanks for the vote of confidence in my playing abilities.

I have the same situation with the same player!

The solution is to modify the system to prevent a player from making
repeated draw offers in a given turn. They system should only allow a
single draw offer per turn. I have emailed this suggestion to Chrismo
and Russ.

Hopefully they can make this modification without too much difficulty
and prevent such abuse in the future.

I have it on good information (on the grapevine, yunno) that
incompetent regularly uses a chess computer engine. This chess
computer engine is one of the new variaty, one of the superhuman
plus processers. Apparantly his chess engine is one of the new 'colin'
processers - highly mathematical, logical and designed for challanges
such as this. This sort of cheating should be stopped straight away.

The grapevine is not "good information". How would you like to be
accused on what someone told someone who told someone else?
David, Care to comment on what you consider good information. John

LOL. Chill Winstan

I rest my case - I am playing against a cheat.
Kill the cheat, kill the cheat, kill the cheat, kill the cheat!!!

I have looked at both games, and R kelly is clearly a wanker. He has no chance of avoiding defeat
in either game.

I resent that!!!
There are at least three wankers here - stevens, incompetent, and now you, spellbound!!!
