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:

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

is this really post worthy?
You can't do this trick online.

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.

I saw you do it.

Silly post:P
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.
It's no good quoting rules Sunshine, you stole the other guy's King!
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.

Is this thread real, or surreal? Can the OP write the same"thread" with, say, the sicilian?
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?
A word of warning to all land lubbers, this LegoPirate is a bad sort and will make you walk the Lego-plank:

You have been warned.

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