Went on holiday in a hurry, no internet access and forgot holiday flag - has cost me over 500 points. In case anyone noticed or wondered what had happenned to me.
Don't worry I'll be back and will now time people out - ALWAYS!

Originally posted by APBThat really is a bitch! And of course you are now going to struggle to play people of the calibre you need to climb back up! I would avoid you like the plague, guaranteed rating points lost 🙂

I lost to an 1100- rated 13 year old who I was giving advice to in a drunken moment of madness on Saturday, but that was 32 points, not 500. I can still share your pain of regret though

Good luck in your climb. I shall wave supportingly as you pass me about half way back up. I'll be sitting on a rocky plateau deciding whether to climb or jump today 🙂
Originally posted by APBYou already have in effect. By posting this thread and bringing this to the attention of the forum, many folk will click through your games and see who timed you out.
It would be spiteful to name and shame!
For those doing the timing out, a few of you (you know who you are) should be ASHAMED of yourselves. Shocking behaviour. Tut tut.
Originally posted by PolicestateNo, no, no! I'm not saying timing people out is bad in any way. I'm saying APB is changing his chess style towards EVERYONE based on the few people that did time him out.

I don't often time out by choice, but I have been timed out. I'm not the kind of person to get upset about stuff like that, it's my fault if I'm timed out.

Originally posted by APBThen you display quality of character in accepting the approach of others whilst retaining your value system, which is not to time out unless absolutely necessary.
I'll probably still be nice - depends on who it is. More angry with myself actually! At risk of starting the old debate - we all feel guilty when we win on time OTB, but rules is rules!
Sadly that doesn't give you rating points, but if it did....
