Have you ever...?

Please add unto this, or describe which one fits you best...

Have you ever....

-seen someone quit at the very beginning just because they lost one pawn (or piece)?

-lost the overall match because you didn't kill that stupid pawn?

- won because you had good pawn structure

-used pawns to get most of the kills, even the checkmate?

-trapped your opponent in a family fork? (rooks, king, queen)

-felt your opponent somehow was knowing your every move?

-played like YOU knew your opponents every move?

-talked on the chat box during a game and lost because of it?

-used your chat box to annoy or distract your opponent?

-defeated someone extremely higher rated and wondered how they got that rating?

-felt like you just survived the most hectic offense from your opponent after moving alll pieces back to protect the king, and then they blundered, winning you the match?

-made your opponent become defensive, and then after all that attacking power, you lost? (lol)

-looked at your live chess recently played list, and all you saw was "lost, lost, lost..." (lol)

-looked at your live chess recently played list, and all you saw was "draw, draw, draw..."?

-won 10 or more games in a row, and then disappointingly lost back all the same number? (lol)

-created an amazing checkmate at the bUZZER-- when you had nearly nothing left?

-played the whole match wonderfully to the very death, and then lost because of one itsy bitsy error?

-played someone who knew they lost and so they left you hanging for the rest of the match hoping you would close the browser? (lol)

- been begged by your opponent to let them win?

-begged your opponent to let YOU win?

-seen your rating drop from above 1500 to below 1000 all because you were frustrated the whole time? (lol)

-made your eyes go red because you stayed up all night playing live-chess? (lol)

-argued with your opponent on the chat box, and finally had to agree to a draw?

-felt your opponent was somehow cheating??

-have you ever cheated? (sad)

-gotten in trouble by parents, employers, or friends, because you should have been doing something more important than playing chess? (lol)

..

well that's what I got for now, please discuss and comment haha!! peace!!

Well, By using the chatbox to annoy an opponent you mean disabling chatbox to piss off a newcome that says go you idiot! then yes I have

As to the making the opponent feel like I knew every move, I once, after a stint studying openings, conditional moved(is that a phrase?) my opponent for about 12 moves for each side. It was actually quite funny to log on and see every one of the moves I predicted come true.

defeated someone extremely higher rated and wondered how they got that rating

• join tournaments that you will never play at
• quitted work for chess
• offered a draw when you know you will be mate in 1

Absolutely not, pieces in chess are captured, not killed. If they were killed I would probably not play.

That's pretty sweet. I think there was a game in the Game Showcase a few months ago of somebody who conditional-moved his way from move one until checkmate, due to some smothered mate trap. It was impressive as hell.

I'm pretty sure I've done half of those things. Also, I frequently use software to fix hardware errors. Sadly, I cannot do the inverse.

The only way you can use hardware to solve software errors is by using functional hardware so you know the software is the problem. I don't really know how you could then "use" the hardware to solve the software bugs.

Yes! I was playing against this guy a very long time ago. When he lost his rook, he just quit!
