I claimed a win and I feel terrible about it. But it was against my brother so I feel kind of good. He shouldn't have been beating me like that. I would never do that against anyone else but because he's family and younger than me I feel completely justified. I have done a bad thing. Conscience cleared now. Carry on.

Originally posted by mokkoExcuse me,but how could you be down to just your King and win? If you had no mating material,then the best you could get was a draw,unless you timed him out?😕

Originally posted by sundown316In a OTB game, if you time someone out with just the king or king + bishop/knight or anything you can't mate with, then you get a draw. No matter if you run out of time or now, or your opponent. I think so anyway.

Originally posted by mokkotell him you did it to teach him a lesson. when you need to get your win ratio up, you take the wins you can get, so dont not move and get yourself timed-out. and if you still feel bad about it, you can play me and ill try to beat it out of you.
Brothery what? I don't know about your family but ours is shoot to kill. Which is what he'll want to do once he's found out what I've done!
