I was blamed to have lost a lot of games so I would get a lower rating in order to attend the tournament MOAKT, which did not have a rating restrictions. I am thinking about resigning the second game in order to please my opponent.


Hi Harri, I enjoyed reading your posts and seeing how you lose games before a tournement starts. I sure hope it makes you feel good doing what you stated was not a good thing . You said, a 200 point differerence is a miss match. you worked around it by losing games until your rating was low.. I'm going to bed now with my wife. I hope you can get the same satisfication playing chess the way you do.

I don't like to be called a cheater! I did loose games because I left the site for a while!

Give me some opinions, if I should continue the game or resign. I did win the first game!

Harri / Luck

The good thing is if you resign the game, you do make it to the second round, but you lose rating points if you resign...I think you should continue the game. Even though you are called a cheater, you aren't one, so just ignore him and finish the game to its entirety.

Dear Harri,

You MUST continue!
*that* is not a person. Simply put, is a piece of crap. A sick "person". So put *it* in the trash can. IT and ITS offensive opinions are totally out of place.

what i don't get is why would you enter the under 1300 tournament for 'lower rated' players when clearely your rating is far superior than it currently stands.for my money the point of this tournament is to give the rookies a chance to play against other rookies,not someone who intentionally decided to lose however many games you lost because of your 'exile' or whatever.where's the challenge of winning this tournament for you?

It's the MOAKT.There are no separate rating sections.

I do not think it is ethical to reprint in-game messages, or private messages in the forums, regardless of their content. If the person in question had wanted the bulk of the RHP membership to read his comments, he would have posted them in the forums himself. It didn't take a lot of detective work to figure out exactly who it was you are talking about. Personally, I think reprinting his message here verbatim is a worse crime than him calling you a cheater.

I believe it was almost the only way of Harri getting his point across about how the other guy was calling him a cheater. 😴

I understand your point and it is a good one, but I disagree. I don't believe in any unwritten "code" that expressly forbids anyone from speaking of a private conversation to other people. While the in game message system is a private means of communication I fail to see it as a "confessional" type of communication where either party is forbidden relaying the information. If they had a gentlemans agreement of confidence that is one thing, but I do not agree that because something occured outside of the publics eye that it should have amnesty from being brought public.

Any time dialogue, private or public, upsets someone I firmly believe that the RHP community should be able to counsel them in the matter. That's my two cents. 😉

rwingett,
So you think it is OK to have someone call another one cheater, but it is not OK for the other person to prove it.
This sounds like UNIONS, the laborer can do what ever they want and they will be protected by Unions, regardless of what they did, horrible practice.

My dad said that will resign from that game. I am sorry that he did NOT include the persons name in the message.

I am not the first one to do that, but I see your point.
I will resign from these tournaments. When I entered, my rating was too low ro enter the higher range tournaments.

Harri,consider he over-reacted.I have seen that in over the board games.It dawns on someone the game is hopeless and they react in a way that no one expected.5 minutes later they are back to themselves.

If he over-reacted and you resign then that is loss/loss situation for both of you.

Go for win/win for both of you.

He might regret now,so give him a chance for second thoughts.
