Why is sportsmanship even being discussed? Only gamesmanship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamesmanship) applies to chess.

 if someone tries to take unfair advantage of me, why should I let him get away with it? he'll just do it to someone else. come to think of it, he would most likely be trying the same scam in every single one of his games already.


 Let the person try!Does it really get on your nerves!

player 1:: ''hi there! im not being funny or anything, but i just thought i would make a polite request for you not to talk to me during this game :-) if you want to talk, we could talk after the game and that would be fine :-)''

player 2:: ''you hypocrite!!!! you just talked during our game yourself!! and not only that!! you actual broke your own rule whilst telling me not to break it!! how ironic is that!!?? ''

Whereas sportmanship is the practice of using legal though dubious methods in order to win sports?

or

Sportsmanship is conformance to the rules, spirit, and etiquette of sport. More grandly, it may be considered the ethos of sport. It is interesting that the motivation for sport is often an elusive element. Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmanship
