When you get someone on the ropes and they resign but you lose points instead of a checkmate.Is this really fair?No they take away the fun of checkmating someone.
Castling should it be allowed?Well I castle at the oppurtunity when the opponents queen is gone (either I killed it or we traded queens then I castle but is it fair?we have divided opinions but yes you should be able to castle it is in the rules so how is cheating is en passant cheating no then neither should castling.
Is stalemate fair.If there king cannot move and there are no other pieces that can make legal moves shouldn't it be checkmate.It should be yes but if i stalemate when I can't move i challenge them to a rematch and automatically resign so he they get the win
Letting time finish when you are 1 move away you should automatically be banned and lose about 100 ranking points but if they are a repeat offender ban them from playing for about a day should be a fare punishment.I was playing a 15 10 match against a 1600 I was 1 away from checkmate and he he had 17 minutes left yet he left and i had to wait 17 minutes to get the win yes he was issued with a warning but i will never get those 17 minutes back yet he played the next game and he beat me so i lost all those points
anyway hope you enjoyed the issues
