I resign in 8/9 games - even in 1 min blitz games - out of 10 in hopeless positions UNLIKE so many other players. After returning to chess.com I find that many even only play for time for 3 min games. That's really bad - if you only exchange pieces and never try to improvise and do combinations you should stick to shoot-em-ups. That's not to say that I won't play for time (a part of the game as everyone knows) but I really try to play chess.

My two cents, show some some sportsmanship and respect for the GAME and the real masters for that matter. Btw, I think that the chess.com handling of the Ukraine/Russia is a cop-out the "shadow flag" is too often used together with symbols of the Russian military and/or similar symbols.

Currently I will not play anyone from Russia. So all-in-all Da Trump for Riker's, Putin for The Hague and well all other dictators and religious zealots, too numerous to mention can visit the very hot place they believe exist. BTW; how come chess.com do ABSOLUTELY nothing about the Russian players using the Russian flag AND similar symbols used by the Russian fascists? You really s-k big time chess.com!

...and btw, sad to see so few saying hi or hello ... when so many try to win the game in 2-3 mins anyway even if you play 10 min games. Oh, the humanity...
