Now you bring up another guy : Savage ? So far you haven't answered him. Am I missing something here ?

I've answered Savage implicitly. Read and understand what I have written "After I managed to win the game, I did not run, but that does not mean I was a brave player, such an interpretation is too naive and funny."

Why should you run after winning (drawing or losing) a game ? Where should you run to ? Do you mean : run = abandoning and not having a rematch ?

The term "RUN or RUNNER" is used to describe the situation when the opponent has just won on time (he had lost on the board), but he left the game immediately and declined the offer of a rematch.

Ok , this I understand. Well Partogi I am not a Runner.When I lose I lose ! Whether it's on the board or on the clock. When my opponent has played well,I even congratulate him and most of the time I request a rematch.

In the situations where I have won a game , I always wait for my opponent to send a rematch-offer which I will accept.

Wow.. It's so amazing !
I agree and I also like your style. You are a player who uphold sportsmanship. Keep it strongly. Cool

This thread is a complete and utter joke.  God I feel like I lost brain cells reading this utter garbage!

That's what I thought in the beginning,but now I start to understand what he means. It's just the horrible way he expresses himself : it is the language. His English is terrible,but at least he tries. Don't forget it is not his native language ( and mine ).

I'd like to define a different type of player:

Whinging Baby: A player that loses the game through one or more of:

 - getting trashed badly
 - very unfortunate means
 - losing on time, but in a "winning" position on the board

Repeated consecutive losses can have the same effect.

and then, mad that his opponent didn't give him a rematch, then goes on a rant about his opponent was just a coward/time player/runner, "when I was clearly the stronger player!" Often creates a pointless forum thread trying to rationalise it and appear unbothered, when in actual fact the opponent in question has gotten under their skin.

Readers, ask yourself, do you have any tendency towards this personality?

You've said that my thread is garbage due to a conflict of interest or your brain isn't able to understand the complexity of my idea. You may have noticed if you're represented by the terms.

Check out the glossary above (Unskilled Player usually is a Time Player, after won once, they turn out to be a Runner suddenly and they run like Cowards). Simple formula is Unskilled Player = Time Player = Runner = Coward. Do you understand?

Ok, forgive me! 

I've a bad grammar because I'm not a native speaker and I just have a little bit of english.

I want to highlight an important point of your comment above:

It's clearly !

If you take more time than you are allowed to play your moves, and end up losing on time, blame no-one but yourself. Also, many people might have other things to do rather than rematch necessarily; not rematching does not indicate that your opponent is a coward or a runner or whatever other crap terms you define.

You are still too "young" to understand this complexity.
Remember:

1. You have to understand how the connection quality factor (lagging) affect the speed in moving the pawns so that they seemed slow and inefficient use of time.

2. I don't judge a person recklessly. A player is said to be a Runner or Coward, when he ran away and declained an offer to rematch. Firstly, I follow him and later learned that he played more than once to face a new opponent. (it means that he has accepted offers the rematch from other players

Do you understand?

Maybe they're not a coward.  Maybe they don't feel like rematching a player who whines about losing "unfairly" when the time / rules were agreed upon before the game started.  Maybe they play other games in hopes of finding more mature opponents who understand the nature of speed chess.

I find it amusing to read threads like this over and over again. The definition of "sportmanship" by the OP is quite funny. I think I can create my own formula:

time player = fast(good) player; runner=coward=person with hobbies except chess.com; whinging baby (precise term!)=Partogi_Tambunan

Now I would like to suggest how to "solve" problems like runners, cowards etc.

time player: get a better mouse/internet connection/more skill with your mouse (play senseless FPS)

runner: win the first game?? (not sure of that because some people even call their opponent a runner after they won the first game)

unskilled player: stop being one on your own so you play better players

I can't believe I really commented on this and expect an answer from the OP who will say that I don't get his complex idea and have no cue of how to play chess.

All the best to his opponents

Do you understand?

Oh, give over. You care way too much about this. I'm going to assume, since English isn't your native language, that you don't realise how patronising you're being.

1) I have no idea what connection has to do with anything. In internet chess, if your connection is poor, again, your problem. That's always been the case.

2) You didn't actually make the distinction, that the player has accepted other rematches, before. I suggest you edit your definitions to reflect this - as is, they're not accurate. But really, anyone can refuse rematches to certain players, and accept others. Maybe they didn't like your opening. Maybe they had more time than they thought. Maybe he had agreed to meet this other player beforehand and declined your rematch to keep his appointment. There are thousands of reasons. Yes, some players might refuse a rematch because they think they got lucky. There's nothing you can do about that, so I suggest you just accept you lost and move on.

If your definition of a coward is based on an internet chess match, you need to sort your life out.

I will not make an issue of the pace of play if I know that the connection quality that we have a relatively balanced and I will test it through PING index.

Ok, If you don't agree to the use of the term "coward", therefore I ask you to look for a more appropriate term to describe the phenomenon that I have said above. By the wat, Don't just be protested or denounced the opinions of others without providing a solution or give arguments clearly.
