Height of NOOBNESS

this is the first time i have experienced this on chess.com - baseless noobness. Though this led to "A draw by 50 move rule"!!!!! which was also a first.

I offered him a draw just before move 50 and he declined. After that 10 more times but then i had no idea why he was declining.....Its not like he is new to the site. I checked his profile and he has played over 4000 games!!Can something be done to prevent such a waste of time?

if you had made the same moves over and over it wouldve ended quicker by 3 move repetition.

I think 50 moves rule is only when one side have nothing but the king. Anyway, it's incredible how this fellow didn't want to accept the draw.

OIC he didnt want to take your knight lol how funny...

When you said height of noobness, i thought i would see you losing the rarest kind of checkmate: K+N vs K+N mate

This was comedic. The 50 move rule is for 50 moves without a pawn move. There are two ways to think about this:

  1. Play him again because he is not logical enough to think that he can't win in such a clearly drawn game. Therefore, you should be able to beat someone who lacks such logic.
  2. Don't play him again because he was playing on to spite you.

@fear

buddy, i tried that like 10 times but he never repeated. i thought he was trying to win on time but i had over two minutes left which are enough to make 200 or more moves in this kind of situation.

@randomemory

is that possible? i took it for granted that it isnt.

anyway i was angry at him for couple of minutes but now it seems funny.

I liked his move at 129

Shouldn't this be drawn automatically due to Insuffecient Mating material?

Here are some suggestions to avoid a draw, any type of draw

1) Play a gambit, or at least something that has less draw potential. 3.Nc3 allows a large possiblity of a draw.

2) Try some moves that lead to unknown, chaotic, or at least hard to figure out , positions - in other words, don't play it safe. For example, instead of 9.Bg5, why not play 9.Qc5, threatening 10.Qxc6+. It may not be best, or it might be at least as good as 9.Bg5. The question is, can he find a good move to counter it in a blitz game? Let chaos reign in a blitz game.

3) Just keep repeating moves, no matter what your opponent may do. He may just decide it is a draw after all.

4) If it does come down to a K+N vs. K+N, and the game is not rated, then just resign.

5) You can always submit this game, and any other, to chess.com for unsportsmanlike conduct. They might not do anything but you can email your opponent that you've done so and let them worry about it.

Hope this helps!

Next time try looking the rule up instead of making up your own rule.   http://lmgtfy.com/?q=50+move+chess+rule

xwarriour  you can block other members which will keep you from being paired vs them at least in open seeks.

Like I said in another thread, you should never resign or even settle for a draw, instead, play until blood spills from your fingers.

I also wish there was something that would prevent noobs from doing that 

Avatar of varelse1

Chess.com should shorten that to the "20-Move rule." LOLZ

Try looking the rule up. It doesn't stop where you do.

Avatar of Pre_VizsIa

50 moves with no pawn moves or captures, I believe.
