Should I CM?

I been on a big music tour the last month, so my games been timing out, and my moves are limited, but I got a CM in 1 with somone rated almost 1900. Should I do the checkmate? or would it be rude with my greatly deflated rating?

Yes, it would be terribly rude to win a game. Resign instead.

Now that your rating is so deflated, I am afraid you'll have to continue to lose forever. It's the Christian thing to do.

If this person had the decency not to claim a win, you might want to thank him / her to hold the checkmate until your rating is improved to a 'normal' level. If that is not applicable, just continue your games as you would normally do. I take it you don't hold the checkmate for a 1200 player?

Don't ask for advice on games in progress!

Thankyou, you gave the best advise, however looking at my game, I realized it wasnt CM, In fact I resigned.

Learn how to make links. Your link won't work for anyone other than you. Game 1642703

Also, you were asking for advice on a game in progress. Whether or not you checkmate an opponent is up to you (and the opponent).

Also, next time ensure you aren't in check first.

I still say checkmate him. The laws of chess are overrated.
