Did it accidentially to one person. I was defiately in a compromised position when I thought I came up with a mating move on him and so I sent the following message with the move. "Was tempted to resign a couple of moves ago. Glad I didn't." About as soon as I clicked the "move" button I relized that it wasn't mate and thought "man is he gonna think I am a putz" Low and behold the game shows up in my list as won. He resigned! Kind of felt guilty about it. Unless I really am a putz and did not see that I had some sort of forced mate. 😳

This one I presume? Game 1763394

Easy enough with a new player, the other resignation in check I can see is a very obvious mate. This one looks like white should have played on.

Some time ago I've sent an intimidating SMS to my opponent during a game.
He got so distracted he lost in few moves (ans soiled his pants as bonus).

In another game I've sent sexy photos to my opponent cellphone (mm-msg) - again, distracted, lost quickly.

Muwhahahahahaha...

Haha i just had an idea for OTB.

Take a mini water gun in your pocket and spray it on his "area". Then he will be too embarrased/scared too go look at other games so will be worried and cant concentrate!!!

Yep there was no mate for black there.. white must play kh1 then blacks only hope for mate is on the h2 square with the other rook, so lets say black plays Rg5 with the intention of playing Rh5 the next move to threaten Rxh2#. white would just have to play Rg1 to force a trade of rooks and thus end blacks chances.
Or Qa7+ Kc8
Qc5 and blacks screwed
