Is abandoning a lost game rude?

It's just poor sportsmanship. If they can't win a game then at least they can waste your time.

Looks like they spend it by reading smartass comments in the forums

Something thats even worse than this? Offering a challenge to some lowly 500 elo plyer, then rage abandoning when losing.

I wish I could manually send a written report for that, maybe I can somehow?

Yes

I lose my doodoo when someone plays a sneaky sideline as white, or when my opponent wins by blunder and won't rematch.

I haven't fallen out of my chair and had a seizure... yet

You shouldn't abandon it. It is rude. You resign if you want. That's different and accepted

Yes. Players that do that to me get down voted.

hey look who is here

its not that rude to abandon but it can reflect on how others see you tbh

ya, you can also say that

If you resign right before someone checkmates you then you are lame

Its beyond rude, its cowardly and utterly pathetic. Its the equivalent of a boxer who, rather than throwing in the towel, climbs out of the ring and walks away. He would be booed, vilified, would lose the respect of everyone and would likely never compete again.

But of course, its the internet, and people can behave however they like with impunity.

yes

Hey! So what I do if it's a lost lost game is I resign. But it's not before checkmate happens, usually when I find there is no possible way to win anymore or no point in trying.

Also, I have a question for everyone, if you look at my profile, you'll see I resign a lot but most of the time, it;s because I have to leave. I tend to come on and off online. It's usually my mom calling me, or I have to go for dinner, lunch, etc. Whenever I give them a draw in that situation, they decline so I have to resign to leave. In my opinion, abandoing a game is worse than resigning. I don't know what to do in that situation.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!!

Doesn't have to be life-threatening to be something people dont want. I think you're just someone who doesnt this yourself and thats why you're so fixated on this.

Yes it is very rude. You are handling another human being as as a machete.

as a machine. .

here is the game where i had to wait 20+ minutes because he refused to resign.

bruh i would never wait 20+ minutes for somone to resign. i wouldve left tbh...

trust me i was conflicted but i had just got back to 1100
