Obtain, nothing.
Only saying it's too bad.

I love fast games too, and am irritated when I have to wait.
But I like fairplay, too.
And I wait, even though I'm not a subscriber, because like someone said in correspondene games you don't see what happens.
And IMHO the lack of patience is not a good feature for playing chess.
I love to win when I am superior, not for an accident. It tastes bitter.

You are also adviced to claim timeout wins moderately when you register here.

If I fell aspleep while playing live, ok. I wouldn't complain.

In any case, you're right, it's a matter of experience.
Not used to this. Did not think I was dealing with war.
I'll no longer care the third time it happens.

chess is war over the board. the object is to crush the opponents mind.

Isn't the full quote something like:

"The object is to crush the opponent's mind with invisible thought-lasers designed by jews working for the KGB"

?

And didn't he said that shortly before fleeing the country to avoid shape-shifting aliens who looked suspiciously like medical health professionals?

I happened to have an urgency and I had to leave for a 7-hour trip. So the timeout passed.
The nice guy did not wait an hour. Did not send me an email reminder. Did not decide to consider the fact that he had never waited before, and that something must have happened.
He ...[text shortened]... to ostracize this guy.

Sorry for the probably unsuitable post, but I'm really p***ed off.
I click on all skulls as soon as I get them except in exceptional circumstances. Get over it. Play time controls you can handle without offering up free wins to the other guy.

He was three moves from losing....you were one hour. Your time was up before he made his three moves. History shows him winning and you losing.

I git mad at my mortgage company when they actually have the nerve to charge me a late fee for paying late! 😛

I'm certainly glad you guys have had the chance to hash this out. I don't expect it will ever come up again, but if it does we'll be able to use this discussion as a reference point.

It seemed nice to me. He never called him an idiot, idiot.
