    When a skull comes along
    You must click it
    Don't wait until it's gone
    Hurry click it
    The site's a happy place
    If you click it
    A smile will cross your ...[text shortened]... st forward - - Jump ahead
    Why hesitate - - And lose instead
    Just click it
    Click it quick!

    I have clicked the skull on occasion but most times I do not. I'm here to learn chess more deeply and if it's still interesting I prefer to continue. In tournaments the skull now clicks itself after 2 days (IIRC).

    In the following game the skull was up a long time at move 41. I was just about to click it when my opponent moved! More analysis work for me - but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't click as the final move turned out to be a real beauty.

    Pretty, the rook can't be taken due to 45. Rxf8+ and checkmate next move, and after 44. ... Qc7 you have 45. Rbb8 and white has no checks and can't defend both f8 and g7.

    If the number 1 player on here can do it then why should us mere mortals worry?

    I have spent countless time waiting for a player to move and know they are dragging their feet by the tone of the game. I consider myself a very sporting person, but I never hesitate to take a skull. Time is a real part of the game, and psychologically, the foot dragger is usingn that against me.. I not only take all skulls, I relish it. I am saying, you have no respect for my time, I have none for yours.
