Is abandoning a lost game rude?

I've encountered several players who, when it becomes clear that they're going to lose, just disconnect. That forces us to wait the 30 seconds until the system registers the game as abandoned. I personally find that disrespectful as it forces the victor to wait while the other player gets to move on and do something else.

Am I wrong? I'm still kind of new to this community and to playing against others.

It is and players that habitualy do it are flagged.

Good to know. I just give them a thumbs down and block them. I encounter at least one a day.

It's very rude. At least have the courtesy to resign.

why would it be rude bro if you think you cannot win anymore just resign

The people you are playing can't take responsibility for their own bad moves. They blame you for doing some kind of magic trick to swindle them of their rightful victory and they stomp off in a huff. They are completely immature and deserve both pity and scorn.

It IS very rude. But don't worry, every time a guy does that he will go into a "list", and if he doesn't stop chess.com will ban him.

That is rude. But that is life. I mean, it's free elo, so might as well wait while doing something else. Sometimes, I just play other video games while waiting for time to tick out.

It's really frustrating though. But I'm very sure that chess.com do take this seriously and punish those that stall time.

They still get banned for stalling.

Nobody's saying it's a misjustice - no need to resort to hyperbole in an attempt to discredit the point.

Here's the thing: they are going to lose so they disconnect. Fair enough at that point. But then you have to wait until the system confirms that the game is abandoned because there is a chance that they reconnect. That's the part that's inconsiderate.

It's not a big deal nor is it likely to be the most inconsiderate thing any of us see in a day. Still, I don't want to play with them again.

This happens in many rapid games.

You're not wrong to feel frustrated by players who disconnect when they're losing. It's considered poor sportsmanship in most online gaming communities, including chess. Disconnecting to avoid a loss is known as "rage quitting" or "rage quitting," and it can be seen as disrespectful to your opponent.

By quit you mean resign, right?

It's of course resign. Are you going to uninstall chess for blundering your queen? Maybe me.

Lol @GabGarbage , that question was meant for another person

I'm answering for him. No sane human being would uninstall chess for blundering.

👍

It shows poor sportsmanship.

It isn't.
