FIDE rule 12.6 for OTB play.
"It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever. This includes unreasonable claims or unreasonable offers of a draw."
Not sure how the staff would respond to this specific case but see here for general information.

So disable chat.
I do find it quite funny it makes me laugh everytime he makes a comment, so i dont want to disable chat. haha. Thanks TadDude. :)
Sometimes players come into games that last weeks without saying a word. I wish there would be at least some comments even if it was meaningless banter. It makes the interaction more entertaining.
Just my thoughts.
cat_of_chess
your opponent is a luzer if he did not wont 2 play wy did he join the team a mach!
Exactly. Hes obviously jsut trying to make up an excuse.

Hi guys,
I like it when my opponent talks to me. It makes the game more fun. If he is offensive (so far has not happened to me) I would disable chat. I dont mind trash talk, like Mickey07, I find it funny. Would I have given this guy a draw, no, probably not. But if it was a legitimate request, such as, 'my game is glitching' or 'I have to go up to dinner' I probably would, unless my opponent was losing badly and I thought he was just making an excuse.
Watch your backrank.

If it "really annoys me!" how do you "find it quite funny and makes me laugh"?
But yeah, it was a stupid excuse.

I have no problem chatting, (except that Chess.com's chat window doesn't auto-refresh) just don't get offensive. Trash talk is, in my opinion, more funny than anything else, partly because a lot of the people who talk that way have no way to back it up when you call their bluff. But trying to get a draw to avoid a loss is just being a sore loser.

Have you never been annoyed at something and then look back on it and it is funny?
