I think you would get disqualified for it?
Can you win by preventing your opponent to shake your hands?
Better yet just chop off your hands so he can't shake your hand, you'll become world champion after enough games.

without hands, how would you exactly move pieces?
anyways, I would imagine that no matter how nasty an opponent is - I would be willing to shake hands , provided I could immediately run to the bath-room and use a sink with soap and water....
Just read up about Nigel Short vs Cheparinov. First time I've heard of it. Apparently they had to replay the game after Cheparinov was ordered to apologize. I always thought it was a sportsmanlike respect thing to shake hands, not mandatory

Good idea. Or maybe wear a glove with spikes?
yeah. this just "reeks" of toilet humor. so.... is there a point?
or are y'all going to post fart jokes all day long?
Is it possible to cover your hand with feces so you automatically win when your opponent refuses to shake your hand?
Nigel Short won when Cheparinov refused to shake his hands - this is an official FIDE rule.
In real life, of course, it would ruled YOU are the one who didn't offer your "hand," you offered your hand plus feces and would be required to remove the feces portion or lose the game.
I would have thought that a game can't be lost if it isn't begun and so any interpretation that gives a win to a player who refuses to shake hands is bound to be incorrect. It would be the same as if a player became ill before a game began. He can't actually lose it and the FIDE arbiter who gave the game to Short, if this really occurred, is surely an idiot. There's a player in the N.W. of England whom I wouldn't play because I dislike him and I have good reasons for it. If we are scheduled to play his club, I'd find out if I'm scheduled to face him and if so I would declare myself unavailable and go home. Much better than an unpleasant evening.

<<<<Yesterday the game was suspended over a recommendation, not a rule, which is not a correct decision by the arbiter. Besides, this recommendation is not well stated. The players should shake hands “before the game starts”. However, if a player arrives after the game starts (in this case 1. e4), may a third party claim that both opponents are forfeited as they did not shake hands before the start? Going even deeper in theoretical analysis of the rule, is a greeting a month ago valid for the condition “before the game starts”? This recommendation needs serious rework before being approved.>>>>
<<<<13:37 Short is not behind the board. From Peter we read: “Cheparinov’s apologies have been published. At the moment, several people are trying to persuade Short to play.” Peter also states, that the incident could have been a testcase for tomorrow’s game between Kramnik and Topalov.
13:50 Short has arrived later to the hall as a sign of protest that the game should be replayed. We hope that the scandal ends here. Chessdom tried to warn about the danger with the non shaking hands durign the Anna Rudolf case, now it has repeated. We hope FIDE approves a general and sound norm on the issue.>>>>
Clearly the game should have been awarded to Cheparinov. It's an indication that he had good reason to dislike Short. Then there would have ben another appeal ......
