So I started a unrated game earlier today ( as Black ) where White played Queen's Pawn to e4 and then I played my Queen's Pawn to e5 and then the Clown leaves ! Yup he runs away from the game ( no 2cnd move ). Talk about stupid and rude. I mean why even start the game at all ? Yes there ar

First time I use an en passant in queens gambit because the opponent sacced all his pawns protecting the gambit pawn, and his bishop in the middle was going to get too much staying power with a double rank pawn move.

Opponent rage quits over en passant, toplel:

Why would he quit??? You missed the obvious Nxb5 capture for two moves and he had plenty of oomph left in the position. The chess.com computer said you were only -0.77 ahead when he threw in the towel. That's how people don't learn how to struggle on in a bad or lame or even marginally worse position. Playing until it's truly hopeless is the way to improve.

I didn't actually know at all about that attack and that it would have opened up the rook for capture wow.

But yea he quit after the en passant. 3 mins 'thinking' then resigned.

Maybe he's one of those guys who think e.p. capturing is "cheating".

I mean yes his position was very strong, I basically gave him free knight development but it made him quit.

I very rarely get players that protect the gambit pawn so wouldn't have known what to do like the aforementioned knight sacrifice to get the castle.

The clowns have abandoned six games on me in two days, very sad, not even one move. Please go read Book !!! ( Quit wasting my time ). Mind you in some games they had Black, Oh Darn, some people hate Black.
