Those players are just trying to keep the game decisive.

Yes, but then poker might be a better game for them.

We are ALL insults to chess, to a greater or lesser degree.

Suggesting a completely different game over having a slightly different philosophy is bizarre. The two games are scarcely comparable.

No it isn't. Playing a delibrately inferior strategy in a game is a sign that the person might not have found the game that matches their attitude yet. Poker and slot machines might match better.

It's deliberately inferior until you lose to it multiple times in the same day.

Hence the slot machine.

Frankly, if you're gonna be disgruntled over something people are gonna be doing all the time in blitz, play a different time control.

All the other time controls at my level are at least 30% engine users. Not possible to play a real game.
