Originally posted by divegeester Nevermind the intellectual self-flagellation Robbie, what is more satisfying to you, a checkmate or a resignation? It's a simple question.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie The question is a little bit narrow because there are other factors. One can win a game not because of ones good play but because of ones opponents poor play, these are never quite satisfactory. Its also the same when one plays a game that one should have lost but ends up winning it by sheer luck. Sometimes losing is even preferable to winning if th ...[text shortened]... heir opponent play out a mate even though they know the outcome because it is a thing of beauty.
Just come out and say that you prefer they resign the game on move 1. Then you can go make another challenge for them to resign that one, too.
There is one thing in what you say and another in the way you play it. Clearly, you don't care about the "epic struggle" when your clan needs the points to stay ahead.

I wont be taking any advice from a sandbagger like you with more than 500+ lost games due to time outs.

If possible can we please not turn this into a "clans" thing? I honestly think there is a subtle preference of satisfaction in winning one way or another, which may be worth a little conversation.

Checkmate brings it home. I always play out the game even when my opponent is winning just so they can have the same satisfaction. Although I may have resigned a few. Sometimes there's just no point.

If you don't mind, could you not "persuade" people into not disagreeing with you for once?
Free Speech comes with the possibility that people might say what you don't like.
Of course, you're against that.
What is the purpose of these crap topics polluting the forum anyways?
Anything to keep your name in front of people, I guess.
