WHATS WITH ALL THE PLUMS THAT LET THE TIME RUN OUT WHEN THEY ARE LOOSING ? IYS ONLY A GAME.
iEpicFail
Right, it's only a game and there's no point in getting mad over how your oponet choses to finish.
SeitelJN
Yes just a game, but what is irritating is when you're in a tournament, you're one move from mating your opponent so he stalls the match for a day and a half and when he gets down to a half hour left on his clock, he decides to use some of his vacation time to further prolong the inevitable.
mosqutip
Yeah real problems with those loosers. Goin' around, making things less tight.

Sounds like you got amazing opponents who wants to show you the art of patience.
Have a nice day.
LOL.

I keep hearing this complaint. Why not just let the time run out? Go read some articles a while.

Sometimes they make a move at the last moment in hopes that you arn't paying attention and will lose on time.
whos mad I am just discussing the topic .INTERESTING.is that your style?
I thought patience was a virtue not an art ! you learn somthing new every day . Thanks

spell check..losers not loosers
Who? Well from the pure caps post I assumed you were. Actually, my "style" is making bad moves with no over all strategy, while losing very quickly.

"I keep hearing this complaint. Why not just let the time run out? Go read some articles a while."
As strange as it may seem some individuals come to this site purely to play chess. Reading articles would entail doing something they didn't come here to do.

stalling is unsportsmanship like

While you wait, you could practise bringing your spelling up to a third grade standard.
When you start the game, you agree to the time constraints. If they aren't to your liking, don't start the game. If your opponent is abusing the vacation time, you can report it.
Or you can waste your time posting stupid complaints in the forum about something that nobody has any control over except for you. Correspondence chess is not a game for the impatient.

you guys need to stop over reacting about what someone chooses to do on their time. If its a forced mate, just stick it in the conditional moves and get along with your life.

To rovingeye...
Spell checkers will not catch the bad spelling of "looser" for "loser" as both are legitimate words.
This is one of the most common misspellings among chess players who never bothered to pay attention to their elementary school education. For those whose native language is not English, well, they get a pass.

on a pedantic note the spell check will actually pick up both "loosers" and "loosing"
Too MM78...
Good point. If "loosers" is caught in a spell checker, even the feeble one here, it doesn't say much about the person leaving the message, does it ...
