Abusing the timer?

 I'm in the middle of a game right now, I'm playing black and this is our position. He has 8 minutes left on the clock, I have 18 minutes left on the clock. Once I moved my king to take his pawn, he disabled chat and I assume went AFK.

 My question is: Do you guys think he gets some sort of personel victory out of this?

 Because to me, I think I would have more fun just leaving the game and playing a new one instead of being stuck in this position.

The OP isn't really asking a question as much as getting some kind of revenge by publicly airing  Miker555's jerky behavior.

While it might be fun to watch others pigpile on your adversary, nothing is gained, really. Better to just move on, move on.

 I apologize, I guess I shouldn't have used his name? I was being sincere with my question, not trying to humilate someone or gloat over a victory or anything .

  It just seems like an awful decision to wait a game out, so I don't get why people do it. Not only are you not gaining anything out of it, you're actually "milking" the win for your opponent.

I'm having a hard time believing that anyone here doesn't recognize what a sore loser is and the main ways and reasons why he punishes his victor.

That's why I said that there wasn't really a question. We all know about sore losers, right?

That's rather prosaic, maybe we can have a competition to come up with something better......

Yes, and we can change LOL, ROFL, BRB, OK, AFK,  to something new. You start the project, and I will be first to go against you... Wink

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.  When an opponent loses contact and refuses to return until the game times out I get charged with a loss.

You should clearly win this game, not matter what he does. He is allowed to disable chat if he wants to, and he has....no problem with that. If he proceeds to take long to move or abandon the game...he's allowed to this as well. So stop stressing on stuff when your opponent has done nothing wrong.

Why do you think he has done nothing wrong?

I used to do this and loved doin it, cuz there ws NO restriction.

But later; I got bored and stopped behaving tht way cuz I realized tht I ws also wasting my time.
