In game number Game 260940, I am 2 moves away from being up a bishop, knight, and queen when my opponent discovers the oldest trick in the book and wins the day.........

You actually had me spending a few minutes looking at the position trying to figure out what possible move white could have in store to have compelled you to resign! 🙄
That's untill I actually read what the true cause of your opponent's glorious victory was... 😴

"Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentation of their women."
I love movie quotes. Especially gems like this one. Hey P, maybe I'll start a movie quote game in the General forum. Interested?
Originally posted by Bobla45Positions like that are why you should be able to resign on your opponent's move. I would have been embarassed to time you out in that one!

My teacher was particularly incensed about one game where I won an opponent's queen and had mate in two. The opponent ducked out when the queen fell. Then, after avoiding all my attempts at continuations, he asked to be awarded the game when I was offline. The ICC rep gave it to him, apparently without a glance at the game.

Originally posted by Chuck SmartI'm an ICC member and I'm very surprised to hear they adjudicated in his favor.I've had a game adjudicated and they took their time and judged fair.To their defense I must say that they get a massive amount of games to deal with.I guess things like you experienced can happen once in a while.It's a drag,but such is life.One tip,next time ask for adjudication yourself.It might help! 😉
