What did you write back? LOL?
New Excuse for a blunder
Sort:
I first wrote "you lost it on move 36, it happens to all of us, you're still in a great position for a win." he then responded, "no, you must have gotten an extra move." I was going to write "check the 'move' list," but I decided to just disable the chat at that point. I don't have the patience I used to have.
there is a facility that lets you check all the moves in any game, just click the right & left arrows.

LOL. Good for you. I think you've hit on the correct answer. This sounds like a good game for you to recall Nimzowitsch's famous cry of woe: "ohhh how can I be losing to such an idiot!?"
What you dont know?
It's clearly a black hole of some sort which has swallowed his Bishop.
Never happened to you?
LOL
You did the right thing.
thanks. think of it; I just lost a game to a sore winner.
lol
maybe they were joking ........ they couldn't have been serious.
i hate when that happens.
sore losers,sore winners

he or she was definitely serious because after I politely pointed out the situation,and suggested he check out the list of moves, he insisted that I was wrong that I must have had an extra move. unfortunately he was indeed very serious. oh well.
Is he suspecting of a bug? Or is he suspecting you received an extra move from an engine?
his dog ate it
Haha, sounds very much like a joke I would personally make after blundering, though :).

Hah. Good excuse for an OTB game. "Hmm, my dog must have jump up here while I wasn't looking and eaten my bishop!"
"No, the bishop is over here with the other captured pi--"
"Yes, I'm sure it was the dog."
usually for me i miss click with the mouse............
Just imagine the fun of playing this guy OTB.
I'm playing a game right now and my opponent (who wil ultimately win the game) blundered. He wrote in the chat area: "I lost my bishop and I don't know how." He then wrote, "You must have received an extra move, I could not have lost it." I suggested he check the area that lists all the moves. I've been on the site three years and hadn't heard that excuse before.
