If I face those kinds of players, I just get a drink from the fridge and relax while shaking my head at my opponent who is just wasting their time.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to flood the forums and be deprived of all the important stuff such as "How many achievements to you have?"

Truly the most important of questions one must seek the answer to to achieve supreme knowledge.

Surprised that nobody pointed this out already but... you agreed to the time controls in your game. In a 15|10 game you agreed to take out at least 30 minutes of your time to play a game.

Guy was irritated . That's it. Brother, let's put this way " World is like that" happy.png ..@IM Bacon, that was too harsh.

     You have no idea what happened at the other end of the line. Your opponent didn't just walk away and let the time run out, they did come back and let you finish the win. Was it a parent whose small child had some sort of crisis? Was it a kid whose parent demanded they do something "this instant"? Was there a meal on the stove they just realized was burning? Did a neighbor pound on the door and start raging about something the family dog had done to his property. Was there an important pone call they had to attend to? Did they knock their mouse on the floor and have to fix it or dig out a spare? Perhaps it was a wireless mouse whose batteries died and they couldn't find the spare batteries immediately. Or any of a hundred other circumstances immediately required their attention for a few minutes.

     Believe it or not, an online chess game is not the most important thing in the world. Believe it or not, everything someone does that inconveniences you is not done out of spite or deliberate intention to harass you. Your conclusion, with no proof, that "this player must do this in every match" is ridiculous. Demanding that they must be punished for not letting you win quickly enough is ridiculous. Get a life.

Can you imagine the impatient, "I gotta have it now" chess players back in the days before clocks, when a game would take HOURS.

The Hindenburg is a somewhat left field entry amongst the others listed in your great disasters of man:

WW1: Estimated 20 million deaths

WW2: Estimated 75 million deaths

Hindenburg: 36 deaths

911: 2996 deaths

But perhaps the shocking image of its demise is a metaphor for the combustible reaction which occurs when one is forced to wait whilst an opponent wastes your time in a hopeless situation.

In much less than 8 minutes it was completely engulfed in flames.

Actually it is pretty cowardly.  Sitting at home behind a monitor, knowing you aren't confronting the person, and requires absolutely no intestinal fortitude.  Yea...it is pretty cowardly.

Stalling is illegal. And I disagree with u on the gender thing but people r probably gonna report me if I say my opinion on that so I would rather NOT

I was being ridiculous with the 79+ genders thing.  Never be afraid to speak the truth.

Now though people actually believe that. And people hate you if they disagree with you....

When people react emotionally they aren't thinking.  If im going to be hated because of ignorance?  Thats on them.

Interestingly, I had a game recently where my next move was mate in 1 for my opponent. I sat and waited for him/her to land the killer blow. I waited and waited, wondering why the hell they weren't... When in fact, I had played my fatal move in my head and not on screen. I thanked them for their patients and apologised for my senility. Sometimes there are reasons, and sometimes it just bloody-mindedness.

These types of posts are right up there with lag posts.  Ever notice that the person whining is always winning when they are disconnected?    No one ever posts how they won in a lost position due to lag.

Position won, 17 minutes on the clock. In the next move is mate, the victory is already mine, just take my points and go home happy, right?
Wrong! The player [remove player name mod SB] made me wait for 8 minutes until I won the match. Note that I even asked in the chat for him to leave and threatened to report him, and it doesn't matter to him. continued to wind me up endlessly. Chess.com says that if we report it, it will solve the problem, how? This player must do this in every match and has never been punished. Too disappointed! This type of person does not represent chess.
(PS: And after we lose our minds and offend such a player, the punishment comes to us...)

(PS2: Him have 4 minutes in o'clock in print, but him make me wait in this position at 9-10 minutes).

[Mod Stumpyblitzer] removed game name and shame 

had to deal with this today D: I know how you feel. Only problem is that even though I report them they can probably just create new accounts.

You’re right @IMBacon! This lag baloney needs to be fixed and i mean right now, today! People are actually winning due the lousy lag problem. They are winning and not saying a single word about it. It’s a shame, and outrage i tell you.
