Originally posted by celticcountryI used to be upset when people did this to me; then I realized that I do it, too!
If I was peeved about loosing my queen..I would thank my opponent and resign.
When going through my game list I've got "easy games" where my move is known and I can play quickly (doesn't necessarily mean an easy win - but if I've got a forced move I can just play it without really worrying too much about the rest of the board). Then I've got the hard games where I need to set aside some time to think - I don't even *LOOK* at these when I don't have a long time lest I lose my will power and make a move just to keep the game going. Finally, I've got the "oh no!" games, which I don't look at for fear of reminding myself of the blunder.
So, the intention isn't to drag the game out. It's just that I play through the easy moves before getting to the hard ones.
