What to do when your opponent plays an opening you don't like.

    Don't you hate it when your opponent plays an opening you don't like? Well, here is a solution for that. But you must have the bag to put the pieces when the tournament is over.

     

    Say you don't like the French Defense:

    The Magic Bag Trick works like this: First, you put the bag over the opponent's king and other pieces. Then, when you lift it up, hold the bag tightly so the pieces don't fall out. If the French Defense was played, the position should look somewhat like this:
    You now win because your opponent has no king.
    Don't try this against a serious opponent. They will probably not know about this trick, and think it is cheating.

    I'm reporting you for cheating. I watched your games, and saw you pull this trick on at least 4 unsuspecting online opponents.

    I prefer just to smash the board when I see the French Defence, and btw, what's the Eco for this trick?

    You now win because your opponent has no king.

     

    Wrong. Now the best you can do is draw because your opponent has no King.

    Your opponent can't play without a king, so he/she has to forfeit.

    You cannot checkmate him, you cannot win.

     

    Besides, once the arbiter discovers the contents of your sac magique, you'll be heading out the door in short, jerky movements.

    You don't need to. Running out of time counts as losing. And since your opponent cannot play without their king, eventually, they will run out of time.

    You live in Colorado and I live in California. I doubt you would travel to CA just to go to a chess tournament. And I never went to CO to go to a chess tournament.

    I didn't steal it, I made it 'magically disappear'.

    I didn't got to Cali. I'm saying I watched you do it in an online game. The mods should be deleting your account any day now.

    This is definitely surreal, echecs06! So Jason is saying that Lego somehow made his/her opponent's pieces "disappear" while playing online here? WTH?! Really? You saw this Jason?Laughing

    This is actually not cheating. Since he touched his opponents pieces he legally has to move them since the rules are touch move.
