I find it sad that not one contributor has considered that civil behavior is as important on the chess board as it is in "real life". I hope that you do not insult your friends, members of your family, and business associates treating them (or expecting them to act as incompetent ninnies.

A small stroll through the games of kingboss030 will reveal he has
been stalemated 3 times when he was totally lost.

(did not see thread from kingboss030 about players not resigning.) 🙂
Compared with my game with Kingboss030, please see my game with toledosteele 9288916.
Originally posted by RJHinds I have only made a couple checkmates, but apparently RHP does not like them because they have never appeared on the home page.
Those are recent mates, usually just happened that instant, and are randomly chosen.
I don't know, you started a thread about lack of good manners at this site. Then bitch and whine about your opponent making moves in a lost game. There's a thing called ettiquette and honor.
If you don't like people making moves, then maybe poker is more your style.
Just sayin'
Originally posted by Aldan I deem it very bad manners and insulting for a player who has an obviously lost position to play on in the forlorn hope that his adversary will commit a childish blunder. RHP appears to approve and institutionalize these bad manners in the posted diagrams of checkmates appearing on the home page as almost all of these diagrammed checkmates involve games wit ...[text shortened]... as to indicate that the games had been lost many moves before the checkmate. What to you think?
What you deem and do not deem is of no consequence here your honour!
I cannot imagine why you think playing a game according to the rules can be construed as bad manners. You say "in the forlorn hope that his adversary will commit a childish blunder." well that is the essence of chess - blunders. Else all games would be drawn. How else do you win?
Originally posted by ChessPraxis Those are recent mates, usually just happened that instant, and are randomly chosen.
They claim to be recent mates but they are not and some of the same ones keep popping up over and over. There was a period when BillyDean had a mate every time I looked and sometimes when all three listed was by him.
I can understand why they did not like my first checkmate since my opponent did not play well. This was the 3rd game I finished on RHP.
My next checkmate however was against a stronger opponent and it was the 5th game that I finished on RHP. At this time I was playing like OTB chess without moving the pieces around for I had not discovered the analyze feature yet.
Originally posted by Long Barrow I don't disagree, but many players here are products of the internet blitz age, have never played tournament OTB or serious correspondence chess in the postal era and are simply ignorant of these conventions. Some will identify that they are losing but be unaware that their position is hopeless, lost or resignable.
Others believe that because FIDE ru will be a blitz tournament somewhere, sometime, when we will be glad of the practice.
So did Bobby actually swindle him?
BTW, Aldan, welcome to Red Hot Pawn! What is your OTB rating if you don't mind me asking? Also, are you in the US, if so, what state? Not trying to get your address just wondered if you were nearby. I don't get much chance for OTB play. I think we are rated fairly close to each other, at least here. You may be on your way up to 2000, you are relatively new here. I am a genuine old fart, 71 yo and so am not going to advance much beyond 1700 where I am now.
From my experience in air traffic control, developmental controllers tend to perform far worse just after a huge rush of traffic that required strong focus... They perform spectacularly with 15+ airplanes in their airspace but once it dies down, and they only have a few planes, that's when they make stupid mistakes. This same phenomenon happens in chess and it is for this reason that I take no offense when my opponents opt to continue playing in lost positions. It is easy to get lazy and make mistakes after you have secured a winning position, and so it is often possible for the losing position to capitalize on that and turn the lost game into a drawn game, or even a win.

Yeah that happened to me recently in OTB play. I had just got a rook up and was sitting back gloating over my win and in a couple of moves later I found myself in checkmate.
Originally posted by Aldan Manners are what separate man from brutes apes. Yes, I will most definitely play on but not knowingly with brutes. I am glad to relate that several of my recent adversaries have demonstrated good manners by resigning in lost positions. I have done this myself and will continue to do so.
So if I have manners while punching the crap out of you , that's ok?

Here is one of the games that I quit analyzing the game assuming I had an easy win now that i was up a rook. This was a rated OTB game at the Columbia Chess Club in South Carolina played against John P. Zeimetz who had the black pieces.
1. g4 e5 2. Bg2 d5 3. d3 Bxg4 4. c4 Nf6 5. Qb3 dxc4 6. Qb7 cxd3 7. Qxa8 dxe2 8. Nxe2 Bc5 9. Bc6 Ke7 10. f3 Bf5 11. Nbc3 Qd6 12. Ba4 Rd8 13. Bg5 Qb6 14. Bxf6 Kxf6 15. Nd5 Rxd5 16. Qxd5 {This was the point that I sit back and started gloating over my win with a rook ahead} Bf2 {I thought he was just trying to get some material back} 17.Kf1 {I played this quickly only seeing that Kd1 allowed him to get another pawn at b2} Bh3 0-1

Also, there is often consequences when grabbing material as there are other factors in the game besides material.
