Players say silly things after a loss, you often get an apology a day or too later.
I think I have the game. He may have had more to complain about if Black
had not taken the perpetual. (you may have better than the perpetual.)

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI love the perpetual check. And when somebody pulls one off against me I'm more likely to applaud them. I think it comes down to my father never trying to checkmate us kids; but always tried to stalemate, perpetual check or draw us -- he said beating us was too easy.
Why do so many opponents complain when you put them in perpetual check? Even GMs will use such a tactic to salvage a forced draw from an otherwise lost position.
Really gets my goat.
With that said, I had a game not too long ago where I was so intent on finding the perpetual check against a much higher rated opponent that I missed a winning move. Rh8! I think would have won me this game.
