Do you ever feel sorry for your opponent?

noo..500 has inconsistency...he said he only SOMETIMES feels bad so that means quite clearly that othertimes ( which by percentage could be 96 percent ) he feels perfectly ruthless and uncaring.....i think you are getting to old to pretend that you can still think gramps.

"i think you are getting to old to pretend that you can still think gramps."



You may well be onto something there, maybe even the breakthrough insight of the month. So shoot if you must this old blond head,

at dawn, but please don't presume to coddle or patronize. Still more than capable of ripping little and big macho squirts a new one.

"In chess you have to be ready to kill people"

I think that is from a GM

Maybe chess isn't for you?

Just because I feel bad for my opponent when he loses doesn't mean chess isn't for me.

My mistake. 🙂

Usually when I play I always want to win.

But sometimes I feel sorry for my losing opponent and I even have thoughts of hanging a piece to make it a draw or even worse just blundering the win away.

With online chess it only happens once in awhile but in real tournaments it happens a lot.

Anybody else think like this sometimes?

No, not me.

I heard you have to on here, otherwise you get accused of being an engine user. Especially if your rating goes up fast or something like that. Sucks to do it but I don't plan on being labled.

I have to agree with you on this one.

I haven't reached 20 games yet so I am not sure if I should be worried.
