Coward. You challenge me and then delete the game when I am given the white pieces.


Edit: I don't care who plays white. 3 days time control.

Man up!

Don't know why he did that, I have white against him and he didn't delete me. Maybe you have bad breath?😉

Think it may have been to change the time control.

Ah, I have been caught out in that bit before. Make it one day no increment. Forgot to even look at that bit. Cleverly designed to catch people out taking even only 2 days to move, game over.

Yep, he rigged it for failurel considering most folks do 3/7. I would not have started game had I looked. Doesn't matter much, considering how much money is on this game😉
Once in a club in Jerusalem I started playing a dude who rigged the rules, if opponent claims win, you either give up and pay more than the original bet or go on and get deeper in debt.
The guy was probably 2200 player and he was strictly business. I of course lost and then met him on the streets a few days later and I said hi and he looked down and shuffled past without a word. Lesson learned about that scam though.

I like 3-day time control as my job can at times be erratic.

Yeah, I can see that. What is your job? My position was 'eliminated', company not doing so well, They lost 5% of their employees when they canned me...
Have gotten a couple of job interviews though, one asking me back for second interview and other folks calling me up and emails. Hopeful I get job soon, running out of unemployment.
I see ALL XXX's games are 1 day. So that's the set up, catch people unawares.

So are you saying you get bored after doing something for awhile?
