Originally posted by RavelloI disagree. Players circumstances do change from round to round in tourneys.

By offering draws looks like collusion no matter how good the intention may be and its possible you may still progress. Besides its my understanding and obvservation, that if you do resign without moving there is no loss of rating points.
Yes,in my opinion this is very poor sportmanship,however I wonder why he didn't want to play out the games,I mean he passed to 2nd round and should be happy to play a lower player and have good probabilities to pass to 3rd round.
I don't really know what to think.
ReelEmInReid resigned ALL of his games in the Gamma Grp'd A AND and in the Gamma Grp'd B without making a single move and without the loss of a single rating point and no-one said boo!

Originally posted by skeeterI have to agree with skeeter on this one, the decision to resign is the players decision only. he probably knew that he didn´t have good chances to win the tournament so he decided to resign without it influinsing his rating nor his opponents rating.
