Bad Sportsmanship

Premoves are a live chess feature that lets you set up your move before it's your turn, and once it is your turn, the move is performed instantly.

The bad dude described in the OP uses the feature to set up a quick 3 move queen grab in hopes his opponent blunder their queen away thanks to premoves, and if it doesn't work and he loses the bishop, resigns the game. However, since the game is shorter than four moves, it will not be rated. In this way, he can ordinarily never lose rating points at all, since the only games he will ever play beyond move 3 are the ones in which he is up a queen for a bishop. (I imagine being an idiot he will lose the odd game of that from time to time, but not enough to make it "not worth it", rating-wise.)

This scheme really relies on people using premoves a lot in the opening, which is really only the case in bullet chess. This emphasis on making quick moves rather than actually smart moves using software technology is what causes opinionated duffers like me to dismiss online bullet chess as "not real chess".

 What do you mean?

Can you imagine what a complete waste of time it is, to keep playing the same trappy ...d6 and ...Bg4 moves, in hopes of getting lucky? Can you imagine further the embarrassment of losing even after being up a queen?

It just strikes me that some people will really spend their time this way. It's like the old puzzle: if you had an infinite supply of 1$ checks, how many of them would you cash? You have to sign them legibly, and you have to deposit them in the bank. And you have to fill out the deposit slip. People who play ...d6 and ...Bg4 would deposit their 1$ checks until, well, until, hmm I don't think they would ever stop.

One of my opponents aborted after this happened in a 1 min bullet. I did not get any points though.

 How many checks could you cash in an hour?  I dunno about you but I work $10.25 an hour washing dishes..

i would just sign the cheques and hire mexicans to fill in the forms and deposit them in the bank.

Serves you right, the Alekhine is awful and you never deserve to win any points after having played it. Also 1.d4 d6 2.Bg5 is dubious at best and so you don't deserve those points either.

This is true, but there are people using just plain shit connections, who lag all the time. This eliminates this. Remember nothing is perfect.
