Three challenges, three aborted games all within 10 seconds! Ryzen777, kardisandor, mohdramat36--all rated >100 points over me. I guess I should have just conceded as soon as I saw your rating, right?

I believe that aborting games all comes down to a player's choice, which is never an easy choice to make.  But better to allow games to be aborted than to put the players' ratings in danger.

Oh, I get it. Another abortion parody. Eh. Joking aside, screw the ratings. Can't be afraid of losing.

If you think a player is too inferior, maybe aborting  is justified. But to abort a game when you are in a losing position I think is unsportmanly and cowardice. There is what we call: Resign in chess the honnourable thing to do.

Letting the clock run, then resigning just before time is up, is the same as aborting.  Though I assume you had to go at the last minute.
