I wont say who he is and i won't say what he said, but i wanna discuss just one thing, is flagging unethical or part of the game? lemme know ur thoughts. thx
What does flagging mean?
Right or wrong, what's the difference with online?
Ok, but well, every chess player here who plays OTB tournaments frequently (including me ) (before covid) would probably playing online for practice.

What does flagging mean?
To make your opponent run out of time by giving trash sacs and checks (so that he loses time).

flagging is playing faster than ur opponent to ultimately make him run outta time

thats a misinterpetation. u gotta play tricky moves as well, not trash moves every time

I normally don't flag players, I play normally like how I would in real life.
well said!
Yes, when someone plays a non increment he should be ready for the same, but I disagree on the point you said on time management as most games have increment and so the pressure can be handled. In non increment games, an error is certain to happen.

Yeah I mean who doesn't want to win, if flagging is needed to win I am certain that some players would do it. Also why does putting your king in check make you run out of time?

FOA, his premoves get cancelled, secondly it takes atleast half an second to realize that you are in check and so after you make a move you lose time.

when u have less time, u premove, when u premove, u dont expect checks to happen, and when u check someone they have got limited moves only
Oh yeah, well I learnt something from this thread. I noticed that in my games as well, when your king is in check it cancels out everything.
is 8 shots of whiskey ethical?
WHAT? ASK THIS IN OFFTOPIC section xD
So at the EOD, we realize that we play online for practice, what actually matter is OTB.
Online? You can do that OTB.
flagging in OTB does not seem right to say the very least...
