..well, I've simply had enough. After anaylising my 209 current games there exists no less than 82% that are absolute wins. I mean that these opponents are significantly materially / positionaly disadvantaged and, by not resigning, annoy me.
So I am going to post these games in this forum to show up those RHP players who, when defeat is enivitable , will not do the honourable .
So first up is Lord Byron Game 287925 My dilemma is simple - which of my four passed pawns should I queen first?? Hmmmm??

It's the same old story, the rating thing, the unsportive players, the timebank suffering, etc, etc.
You can be a warlord, but you will have a never ending battle.
It's time ( Russ ) to have an independent jury of players who can give penalties to those irritating players. That's the only answer.

Originally posted by hypermo2001I say again!
All those who think it is ok to not resign when you're down 3 rooks and 5 queens owning only a king are morons!!
Stop defending those idiots!!
It is utter stupidity to say they have the right to wait until mate...what a waste of time on a site like this!!!
MORONS!
I posted a reply in the other forum when this issue arose.
There is NOTHING in the laws of chess to cover this.
One is fully entitled to play on until the game is finished by a mate or stalemate etc.
Yes, it can be annoying and frustrating, but it is a matter of UNWRITTEN etiquette!.
It could even be considered gamesmanship..nothing wrong with that...
Hmm, I have a few suggestions:
- Play shorter time controls.
- Stop complaining.
Personally, once I've won a game, I don't even count it as active. It goes into my archive folder and I check it every once in a while so I can continue administering the ass beating I've already analyzed. Doesn't really take any time. It's not like OTB where you actually have to sit there waiting for your opponent's clock to run out.
