Mouseslip Fairplay

Sort:
Avatar of QueiMatti

Why my opponent are so unrespectfull and decline draw when I ask? It happen more time that I mouseslip (and it was clearly a mouse slip, from mate in 2 to lose the queen) but my opponents declined. I'VE NEVER PLAYED AGAINST A SPORTSHIP OPPONENT. This is the worst chess app about fairplay for my experience.

My opinion is that mouseslip is part of online chess. They are completely fair players, it's not written anywhere that it shall be a draw if one of the players mouse slipped. Cry if you do it, laugh if your opponent does it.

Mouse slip is the same as the touch move rule. You touched it you have to move it if you legally can. And how is your opponent supposed to know the difference between a mouse slip and a blunder?

Guess where is the mouse slip... about the move rule: I "touch" the rook

An opponent is not responsible for your mouse

Tell me, if you play a brilliant game and a mouse slip ruines the game, which is your reaction? From mate in 2 to an unwinnable position... hypothetically do you prefer your opponent draw or let you lose, aware that you mouse slip?

I'm not talking about RULE but about MORALITY and SPORTSHIP!

My morality does not allow me to blame my opponent for my mouse

Please post an example of a game where you gave a draw to someone who slipped against you.

So, you asked for a draw in this position after the "mouseslip" 30...Rf5?

I would probably say that OK, 30...Rf5 does look like a mouseslip, but on the other hand Black is completely busted, and he is about to be checkmated soon. It seems that an intentional mouseslip (and asking for a draw) is Black's best move here, by far.

But, it has been said before in the thread, that mouseslips are an integral part of online chess (you can avoid them by turning on move confirmation, which of course costs some time during the game), and this is 100% correct.

If I make a mouseslip, I resign after the opponents answer. Period!

My fault, my consequence.

No, you were close... 32... after Bc8 I knew the winning move was Rg5 but mouse slipped in f4.

Anyway move confirmation is not an avaible option because in every match I end with less than a minute and I don't want lose for time

You maybe know the meaning, but do you know how to apply it?

You mean begging my opponent to draw when I could not handle my own cursor?

If you are really your skill level, you would be able to get back to your rating, no?
