    Thanks for Chess.com.

    Don't know exactly why, but it's a good rest in between programming sessions.

    Why should the brain rest from programming by playing chess, I still have to understand it.

    When a player [TENGU23] is 'REMOVED' 4 days into a tournament why does the completed games stand while all unfinished games are 'RESIGNED' ??

    Even after 4 days in some unfinished games TENGU23 was ahead on major pieces, surely if a player is "REMOVED' all their games in that tournament should also be removed ? If not, why not ?

    I love chess.com but some Admins are bit weird, after being insulted by my opponent and  He wished my death and hoped I went to hell. Then I win over him I just said chicken out, and then followed him and said cock-cock-cock, and then I got kicked of chess.com, why??? He wished my death and hoped I went to hell and he didn't get kicked?? I just made the sound of a chicken and got kicked??? This must be a joke! It is not fair!! Surprised
