I'm 70 years old and just recently come back to chess as my first love in gaming. (I do like a good video game) Chess.com has opened the world to me that I would not have been able to access any other way.
Sportsmanship means a great deal to me. There is not a lot of room for unfair play in chess with the rules the same the world over, but I see a lot of accusations of cheating and cowardliness, etc, in the comments after the games, some are downright nasty. That pains me even though I understand the only requirement to chess is know some moves. I am working on offering rematch when I win but not when I lose. I do accept rematch request when offered if time allows.
I do admit to a few sharp remarks when someone just lets the time run out one move from mate but for the most part I thank my opponent win or lose, read their bio and look at the number of games played. I play lost games through to the bitter end or resign if obviously lost. I do not resign because I blunder away my queen and sometimes have even gained par back. I try to recognize superior play.
Please help me understand the finer points of sportsmanship in chess. What do you consider good/bad chess sport? Is a lost game well played more important than a game won on bumbling opponent?
