    You are RUINING the great game of chess.... And I have a PROBLEM with THAT!!!

    Oh boy. Barely 3 weeks on the site and he wants to stand in the tall grass and pee with the big dogs already. Check out his blog - it's ...... interesting.

    I give him about a month - tops - but lets not feed him in the meantime, present post excepted but that is my last on this.

    Your opponent is obviously thinking you will resign to get another game on the go being a non subscriber cos his rating is going take a hit, but then again is perfectly entitled to continue the game no questions asked

    I enjoyed the part about how he has issues with those who are "anti-rules", when his profile has his myspace link where he talks about how his own "anti-rules" persona has manifested itself in so many ways. At so many levels, he needs a metaphorical mirror.

    I am still waiting for my copy of The World's Best Rook-and-King vs Rook-and-King Endings to come in the mail.

    Perhaps, but teacher1, not you, are having opinions about how to cunduct a game, and yet still haven't made one single move since he joined RHP the July 3rd, why does he care?

    I don't think you read me that carefully, because I was agreeing with you! My "enjoyment" was the joy of contempt. I shouldn't be that way, but some people just bring out the worst in us!

    From your myspace:

    Remember, people, my FIRST and FOREMOST goal is to reduce chess to the status of checkers. I WANT TO be the man responsible for ruining the game of chess.

    Hi Boiledcod.

    You have lost 107 games by timeouts. He has lost none.

    I think that gives you an idea of his game plan.

    If he wants to play it's his choice I'm afraid

    He makes perfect sense (for once). He doesn't want anyone ruining the great game of chess before he has a chance to do it. 😉
