Originally posted by ChessPraxisMaybe he's hoping for a stalemate. Don't know why he would think you would let that happen, because a good player always watches out for something like that. Still, even though the odds are not in his favor for a stalemate it never hurts to try. A 0.001% chance of winning (or not losing) is better than a 100% chance of losing.
Oh the apathy!!
Can I not get a shoulder to cry on?
Edit: DAMN!! The crying smiley doesn't work??
AAAAaaaaaagggggggggg!!!
Now I know how Tom Brady felt last Sunday. π

The worst win for me ever (at a another game site) was when we both knew I was going to win, and he used the entire 30 day limit per move for each of the next 8 moves. After that I would only play for 3 days per move... occasionally 5 or 7, but never more than that.
Edit: The crying smiley stopped working after they moved to another server... so one more thing to cry about. :,(

Originally posted by ChessPraxisIs he throwing pieces away or chasing you around the board? It didn't occur to me until after I logged off that it might be the latter. If so, and he can get the same position to occur three times or get you to agree to a draw, then it's not so hopeless for him. I can understand your frustration, but I would do the same thing if my position was hopeless.

For the record:
CP is a joker.
He is well aware of the rules of the game.
This thread just mimicks the ones which frequently surface where people complain about the opponent playing to save a draw or just not giving up....
Hey! My opponent is attacking me! Is this allowed? Is this FAIR?? I'm sure there was nothing about this sort of thing in the FIDE rule book. Can I have the baloney back now please? C'mon CP, you've had it for over a week now. I want some too before it gets green fur growing on it.
And you changed your avatar again. You tryin' out new Photoshop plug-ins, or what?

Thanks for the salami. Let me know when you need it back.

All this reminds me of a letter in Chess Life:Chess is a game. Cowards who want to memorize and calculate can't really play. If the system has rewarded them with high ratings and titles in the past, they are only fooling themselves.I have no idea if the guy was serious. π
