Game 2167553
On realising his move gives me a mate in 1 (Qxf7), he resigns. Would this be considered unsporting?

This is an example of unsporting:
Game 1829578
The first game I started on this site. Since then I've started and completed 38 others! This guy kept moving once a week, just before the deadline, and now is in the process of using up the last few hours of his two week timebank.

I do hope they said good game or something, if I don't have time in the game to say it I usually PM the message to the winner.

Just in case anyone's interested, the winning line for me in Game 1829578 if White swaps rooks is:
61. Rxf3+ Kxf3
62. d5 g4
63. d6 g3
62. d7 h2+
63. Kh1 g2+
64. Kxh2 Kf2
65. d8=Q g1=Q+
66. Kh3 Qg3 mate
I had to get out my real life chess set out for that one, something I almost never do in online corresponse games!

Have a look at
31. ... Rb1+ (instead of Rxa5)
32.Kxb1 (forced) Rxa5 and unavoidable mate with Ra1.
edit. My apologies for commenting on a game in process(I didn't read evrything). The point I made, however, is completely irrelevant to the game continuation.
