Why swear words cause timeout: Chess is a game that has been used in place of warfare on numerous occasions due to its convenience and lack of bloodshed. The intent to kill and dominate is still there yet players must remain civil as it is, after all, simply a game. ;)
ban on swearing

How about we kick the guys who call me a coward for winning on time. When they sat there and castled, and I sacrificed a bishop or knight to break the castle giving them an advantage. Coward is a offensive word also. Chess.com should implement fischer random chess or something that doesn't involve castling. I don't play online chess to play against guys who castle and castle over and over and talk "smack". I would of used another word but swearing isn't allowed on this website.
