1. i was being sarcastic. all i'm learning from these people is the lengths some people will go to avoid ever resigning. the only thing that seems to reliably work is to let my clock run down. then it gets boring for them and probably around 25% do resign.
3. i was speaking to 'them' not you. more people will join this thread and a lot of them are going to be talking about stalemates. i was pre-empting those arguments.
4. never in my life have i seen a website say something is against the rules and give you a bright big button you can press to break the rules. and i'm quite confident, i will never see that. and that there is not one on this site. yet you claim there is. ok.
It is funny that in your first argument you admit to breaking another one of chess.com's rules, purposely prolonging the game for no reason and stalling are both not allowed.
For your third argument, I attached an image just so you can reread what you said and decide wether or not you want to stick with that obvious lie.
For your fourth argument I suggest you reread what I said because that clearly wasn't what I was talking about, you mentioned 2 rules during this argument and I'd like for you to show where on chess.com it says that what you claimed to be rules are actual rules.
You have to be trolling. I finally checked your rating. No way someone 1441 rapid actually believes the things you are saying.
Man what are these games that you linked, chess is a game of elegance and sportsmanship.
You possess neither skill.
Please stop disrespecting your opponent in games.
They are disrespecting me by thinking I can't mate them - after watching me dismantle them in a game.
ah yes the person playing out the game till checkmate (like chess.com's fair play rules tell people to do) is the one who is disrespectful and not the person wasting opponents time who like previously mentioned is following chess.com's fair play rules.
I am pretty sure the only thing being dismantled here is your intelligence.
They are both disrespectful. The difference is, they started it. I am merely giving them back what they gave me.
And once again, can you just remind me, in which way were your opponents disrespectful?
When I have a queen, a rook and 3 pawns and they only have a king, and they do not resign, they are implying that I am a horrible chess player. this after watching me destroy them to get into that position in the first place. That's very disrespectful.
You might not agree - but that's ok. I find it disrespectful. And nothing you say will ever convince me it isn't.
I imagine you aren't the type of guy to read the chess.com fair play rules, which is fine I will just tell you them now.
In the fair play rules it says to play every game to the end and not resign.
You find it disrespectful that people are following the TOS of chess.com?
You either aren't reading those rules very carefully or those are some kind of tips for noobs, not rules. Nobody gets punished for resigning and it would be absurd if they did.
(Resigning after getting beaten badly. Resigning when you're ahead or it's very early is against the rules. That's not what is happening here.)
Please show me the rules which say you can't "resign when you're ahead" or you can't "resign very early".
Attached is also an image of the fair play rules you agreed to when you first opened chess.com, it clearly states to play out every game you play and just for you I drew a big red circle around it.
If you get your rules from pop-ups in 32 point font, you are doing it wrong. Read the actual rules. It's not against the rules or they'd have to ban most of this site.
what???
This is the first thing you see when you open this app, you agreed to those 3 rules otherwise you wouldn't be able to play chess on here, the pop up literally says that these are rules and it also states that if you don't follow these rules and I quote "your account may be closed and labeled publicy as Fair Play violator".
I have shown you the rule that you are violating and your response is claiming that that specific rule somehow doesn't exist.
Interestingly you still haven't responded to any of my other points or shown any proof for the rules you claim to exist.
Almost like your entire argument is being run from the bs you can string together at the moment.
Ok, so explain why there is a resign button. It's against the rules to click it, but they feature it prominently in the UI. Explain that one.
It's a rule but they don't actively enforce it, furthermore if someone has to leave all of a sudden without a resign button opponent would have to wait the clock out before being able to play another game.
They would not have it large and bright right there in front of you, if it were for unique circumstances. It would be buried some place with warning pop-ups and disclaimers and notifying you it's against the rules. And they would put limits on it.
You're taking this random pop-up way too literally.
