1) If you don't have time to play out the whole time control, don't play it. A player never has to resign to you.
2) There is nothing rude about not using the chat or not saying gg at the end. Plenty of people choose not to use the chat feature and are just looking to play some chess.
3)Disconnecting and letting the time run out is rude, but take solice in the fact that you'll get the win when the time does run out.
i wouldn't resign just because u asked me to, id play 4 a stalemate--if anyone asked me to resign, ever, i would show them how rude the english language can be!
I don't believe you have done a valid experiment to test the hypothesis that chess players are more awful than non-chess players. You would have to identify two groups of people: ones who definitely play chess, and ones who definitely don't. You'd have to do some clearly defined test to determine whether individuals in either group were awful or not awful, but you have not mentioned any possible way in which non-chessplayers can behave awfully. Then the statistical analysis to test the probability level that the null hypothesis is true. It should be less than 5% or so to justify the claim.
Uhhh, Sister ?....you mean it really took three years to respond ?....OMG !
They pray quite a bit Lola!....
hahahahahahahahaha
g nite sweetie!
Asking someone to resign is extremely impertinent IMO. In any case with fast time controls , time itself is a "piece". The fact that you used up your time to get a material advantage can be balanced against your opponent who expended physical material but saved "temporal" material.
BUT , there are some keyboard cowards on chess.com with all the trash talk etc. HOWEVER I genuinely find that OTB regular players are a cut above the average Joe in terms of being good company.
If all chess players are awful, and OP is a chess player, then OP is awful.
Sometimes logic tells one things that one would rather not know!
If you think chess players are awful, you have never played any other online game. Try, almost literally, ANY other online game, particularly like an xbox game. You have no idea how nice chess players actually are until you've done that.
Also, lol at asking someone to resign. Chess would be a very easy game if it was up to us when our opponents resigned.
Yep.

I'm not sure I agree with your comments. I can only go by how I interact with my opponents. While I try to never be rude to anyone, there's no way I would resign a game just because you asked me to. And also, I would never lower myself to ask an opponent to quit a game we are playing just so that I can win. There are some things in life that are totally uncool.

I reckon he will go with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense.
DO you actually play any other game aside from chess online? Your encounters with rude people probably have nothing to do with chess and more to do with the anonymity of the internet and the psychological effects that has on human reactions. Also you probably don't converse or interact in any way with 90% of the people you play; it is just the rude people you encounter that stand out to you and give you the impression that there are many rude people on the site. In reality, rude people are thankfully a small minority
You clearly never played League of Legends.
Kaynight play chess for 5 years now and have only 1300 ELO, so why is he so rude to new players? He plays like a new player.
If you think chess players are rude, you should try playing different game genres: League of Legends or Starcraft II. The Chess community is great and very respectful. Then again this is my opinion just as your analysis was by your opinion. My tip: suck it up and don't expect what you want.
Per capita I reckon chess has one of the highest percentages of immature, stuffy, cantankerous people. In no other game have I had a sizeable portion of players disconnect from a game, leaving me out to dry until their timer runs out; and if not that then just leaving without saying good game - YAH! without saying GOOD GAME, can you believe it???
Maybe it's because chess, unlike other games, seems to command some level of intellectual respect amongst people. So to a lot of players it's not about winning or losing a game but about being smarter or dumber.
That's no excuse though. If you don't have common courtesy you're a big fat doo doo head. Comma.
The other day I was playing a game in which I ended up with 2 rooks and a pawn 1 move from promotion against a king and 3 unpassed pawns. I had about 2.5 minutes on the clock against his 11. Something came up and I had to go and so I requested that the person resign since the game was clearly over. Well no resign came or any acknowledgement of my request (I guess he was thinking diligently about what to do with those 3 pawns??). I ended up resigning and went on my way. Geez Hamm, again?
Ever since I started playing chess online I've made a point to say "gg" (good game) after every game, win or loss. The void of any kind of sportsmanship I've experienced while playing here has made me even more determined to keep this resolution.
I've actually never recieved a gg before I've first given one and I've played a good amount of games by now. I think most chess players would do well to ease up on the tactics trainers and brush up on their human training a bit.
Peace!
