Yeah definitely the bullet games lol. Does flagging happen a lot in blitz games as well?

I love to play blitz games.

hyperbullet isn't even chess. Especially under 30 seconds... That's how my score against @BlitzStreamz is +5

Bullet is more to practice flagging and obvious for quicker games.

so today, i was playing this FM and we had an equal ending but he had like 10 seconds only.I played for the flag and he blundered in time pressure. After the game, he was just so salty in the game chat, saying some rude stuff about me going for the flag. 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

It depends. If you are using a clock, or it's a timed game, then winning on time is ethical. Nothing wrong with it because it's part of the game.  But if you are playing a non timed game, then trying to win on time is unethical.

Dirty tricks that I did anonymously on another chess website. It was 10 second, and my oppo was trash, but this is one I still remember so I’ll post it.

he mouseslipped on his last move lmao

i was white btw.

the first move(b4) was to take the pawn if he played the sicillian, which he did.

Is flagging more common towards beginners or high rated players?
