Sure it is wrong, it is a pre-planned draw.

But this should be in Chess Forum

If it is in a group and a tactical move to ensure both players progress, to the detriment of a third party, then I think it is morally wrong. I don't think there is anything in the TOS to stop this kind of collusion, but it is still wrong in my mind.

That's part of the game like it or not

Finding a way not to lose

Game 7096831
Game 7096830


edit: User 487975's profile states he/she is looking for even material draw offers to cut down on game load. Unusual -- but I guess it's worth a try if you're overwhelmed with your game load.

yes thats the one ,and it means technically they have a bye in the first round .
now if we all did that the second round would become the first, if you are not going to play fairly in a torny why bother at all???

as for trying to find a way not to lose chess is about winning not drawing , a drawn position is a last resort not a first...
