I recently saw it posted by a game mod that if I tell someone during a game in progress to NOT take a draw or to go for the draw that this is breaking the rules.
Here's the problem.
I am the clan leader of our clan. Recently we had a player in our clan who was matched up against the clan leader of another clan in a clan match. After 13 moves in the games our player accepted two draws against their opponent in this clan match. Our player was up a pawn in one game and a minor piece in the other. These two draws gave us a clan loss in this clan match.
If our player would have won just one game we would have won the clan match!
I asked our player why the He!! did they accept two draws in their clan games when they were winning both games after only 13 moves. Our player informed me that their opponent asked for two draws because they needed personal time with their family.
Our players opponent ( the clan leader of the other clan) continued to move every day, several times a day on all their other games. As I suspected.
I told our player from now on to consult me first anytime before they accept any draw offers. Is this cheating??? Or is this considered consulting a third party during a game in progress?? If so ? How the heck am I suppose to run our team or clan, or be the clan leader if I cannot even tell one of our players NOT to accept a draw in a situation like this??? 😕
