Hi. Almost every person i play just abandon the game if they are loosing instead of resigning. Almost all of them do this every time they are loosing. Why are you not banning these people from your site chess.com ? Its totally unreasonable that people who break fair play are allowed to do it over and over again . Just look at my past games youll see how many people are doing this every time they are loosing. Are you not going to do anything with these accounts ? Just let them ruin the experience for people playing fair ? can someone answer me this plz cause if nothings being done then i see no point in staving on Just to play bad sports. im sure youd get a lot more paying members if you could Just weed out the people abandoning lost games. My guess is many dont want to commit to paying membership till you show you do something to fix the problem . What say you ? 😃Have a great weekend all 😃

Stallers are the best.

When they stall or abandon instead of resigning, it's your chance to have actual fun in chess (rare). Because you can work on your calculation... Even if everything wins, calculate all the winning lines, all the way until mate, try to see 6-7+ moves in to the future positions in every line... if it's mate in a few moves-- calculate every single king move... and if it's easy try to really visualize it in your head, try to imagine the entire sequence with eyes closed and triple check the king has no squares... you can use this time to your benefit

not to mention sometimes people quit in just -2, -3 positions, where you can calculate a TON of stuff, think of plans for both sides with no stress at all..

to be angry at quitters is just you wanting to "do another game fast", so you will play that game probably not so great, as you could if you calm down etc...

The staff also blamed me for a different issue. The staff are trying not to get exposed because if they do get exposed they might lose a ton of profits because people are not going to come to chess.com and on top of that they might lose more money in a lawsuit. Why does the chess.com blame others when you know it is your responsibility. This is my case: I disconnect every day and chess.com blamed me for the the problem.

Your flag says that you live on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. I think it is amazing that you have any connectivity at all.

The Faroe Islands has 4g internet and that is good. So why did you say that insult before researching?

Dude Justbefair the Faroe Islands are not that far away from Scotland it’s only about 330 km away or about 200 miles away for folks from America!

And maybe you never heard of them so that’s why you would say that. Also do research and don’t get lazy so you don’t have to do research. The reason I complained about chess.com is because I have evidence for myself I experienced myself and you had NO experience at all. Haha!

Why does the site crash a lot recently I have been seeing the site crash a lot. So WHY?

That basically means that people are stalling, which is not allowed.

I know, right?

The app doesn’t crash that much though.

It’s the website not the app

It does look like you had 25 abandonment wins in the last month out of 898 games. That is a lot.

But you play an awful lot of games. 25 out of 898 games is annoying but doesn't seem to me to be an epidemic.

Chess.com does have a sportsmanship program in place. I hope you reported each and every one of them. When someone accumulates enough reports, they get penalized by having delays between games and they get put into a special pool with other players who do the same thing.

Here is another recent thread: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/chess-com-needs-to-address-abandonment-issues

Some of them are partly your fault.

 
How often does that work?

Very cool response 🕶️ 🕶️
