Bah,
This whole post is clearly a bid to shame Gaskit into a rematch.
I thought you were chess players.
Do you really suppose I thought the magic Chess Fairy was going to flitter in and reverse the outcome of the game?
from your profile: "My strategy for victory is without mercy. Weakness will be hammered away. In my mind a system of play will develop before which my opponents will crumble. My game will be brutal, domineering, fearless, and cruel. My game must be that, and yet I too must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle.
The fearsome beast of victory will rage across the board, and all will bleed.
That is how I will eradicate my opponents. That is how I shall play."
if what you describe above is chess, I hope no one ever becomes a chess player. and you come talk about chess sportmanship, etc. what a shame.

To lose and then whine makes this guy lose all face too!
I have a line in my profile where one can read: "I never remind, I always take skulls." This means, of course, that I deny any right to whine if, and when, I lose on time. Or I too will lose face.

Or put the vacation flag up. I did the same thing here: Game 4047560
Lesson: If you can't handle the time controls of a hardcore grand tournament, don't even enter.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
ok, happy time is over...

I was loopholed.
There was a long weekend where I live that was spent with family.
As I mentioned, at a mate in I thought I could be confident that no one would stoop as low as claiming a time out win.
The way I would like to "deal with it" is a rematch.
Which the outclassed player is refusing.
I don't think you could seriously say that taking ...[text shortened]... is an very sportsmanlike thing to do.
This is chess, not "collect wins any way possible"

Nice try, but you're still wrong.
And yes, as I have already mentioned. I do realize that I lost the game within in what can only be called a legitimate fashion. In hindsight I realize that I have made my profile entry too scary and it is obviously the reason for Gaskits scooping of the skull. If it had been more along the lines of.
" Hi, I love chess and rainbows and knitting bible scenes into decorative shawls. I hope we have a really fun time playing together!" He probably would have restrained himself.
3 days per move is a little different than OTB with a clock though. And regardless of all the hardcore stances I am seeing here I still do not believe that many of you would have done this. But that is only an article of faith.
Originally posted by diskamylLOL, I just looked at his profile too. I have to say that if I were his opponent, based on that, I would expect him to skull me immediately "without mercy" and so I would do the same to him. There is no longer any debate here imo. He got what he implied he would do himself.

Originally posted by ben mossbergThis may turn out to be a life-altering experience for you after all. You're beginning to realize that rainbows and Bible scenes can sometimes be mightier than brutality and the fearsome beast of victory.
Nice.
