Quitters

There should be a designation on someone's win/loss record when someone just quits and refuses to move in one game while continuing to make moves in other games.

I know that life happens and sometimes people lose their access to computers and can get timed out - I'm not talking about those situations.

But when I've got some punk beat - and I can clearly see that he's making moves in other games, while refusing to move or concede in my game, that's bullcrap. I refused to claim the skull, but a win by timeout was eventually "awarded" to me. I deserved a checkmate victory or a submission. More importantly, the punk in question deserves a clear, distinguishing blemish on his record for acting like a coward.

You could have taken the win with 30. Nd8#

You chosed to refuse to time him out. That's your decision, not his. Don't blame him for that.

He acted according to rules, he didn't do anything against the rules of chess nor RHP. Yo won and you're not happy?

What if he gave up the game, and you didn't get the well awarded check mate, would you be as angry as now? You shouldn't. Exactly the same s ...[text shortened]... Why would you want to punish him more than that?

Don't be angry. You won. That's it.

Then again you have 71 timeout losses so you obviously refused to move within the agreed time limits. Maybe you were also moving in other games at the same time, yes/no?

Is so no different to this.

Move on

See, your problem here is that absolutely nobody cares.

I see where he is coming from though. There a lot of bad losers on RHP. I have claimed many timeouts where the game was won but my opponents have stopped moving in my games and choose to run out the clock.
It is never the same skulling as mating but either way the win is nice.

This is why timeout wins must pay off exactly the same as checkmate wins.

Dumb ass - those were games that I lost when I temporarily did not have computer access. I was not moving in some games while wimping out and refusing to move in others.

I see now why people consider these forums an absolute waste of time.

If he gave up and submitted the game, it would be a legitimate win on my record. By refusing to move it goes down as a "timeout" win. Do you not understand that there is a significant difference? And that I earned a legitimate win not a win with an asterick...

My advice is to get over it. Try it, it might work.
