I do not disrespect my opponents in OTB chess anyway because I am friends with most people in my area so if i would troll them they would laugh about it. And to be fair in OTB chess people WILL actually surrender dead lost positions, only in Online chess people tend to play on even if its hopeless.

Honestly most people are extremely rude to good trolls.

Playing on is not considered rude behavior--except by good players. No one in required to pay tribute to your so-called "skills" by resigning. If you can win it, then win it. If you can't win it, then you can't. It's up to you. Just win the game and quit whining

People who get all hysterical and rant about their opponents not resigning never become good players, they're to busy flouncing around making fools of themselves

I don´t rant, I just disrespect them back in ways you can learn in this guide. Not resigning in hopelessly lost positions is disrespectful as you expect your opponent to not be skilled enough to beat you even with a huge material advantage.

Lets say I blunder my queen against you and still play on trying to trick you. What do I want to tell you with that? I want to tell you "hey mate I blundered my queen but I think you are bad enough to still lose being up a queen so I play on. Against a good player I would have already surrendered. "

Actually, I consider it POOR sportsmanship to resign just because you feel you committed a blunder.  It deprives your opponent the opportunity to beat you fair and square. Man up and play on.

Your being ruder then them, they think you are not a good enough player to beat them... Fair enough.

Why be childish? Why waste your and their time? Show them you can win without acting like a spoilt rich 10 year old. Just...Win. If you can, great! If not, well then they were right- you were not good enough to fully beat them.

OP shows the moral decline of society today. It's sad. In the past people had things to fight for (life, human rights). They worked hard for the world we have today. But all those spoiled brats care about is winning a little fight on the internet. Congratulations more power to you!

I think many or all the scenarios listed in the OP are silly. The opponent can do whatever he likes. Many of the scenarios involve the opponent putting themselves in painful situations rather than just being stubborn.

 

Scenario 1: Your opponent has few seconds on the clock and still tries to play on (to trick you)

Response: Why wouldn't he? If you can't beat someone who has only a few seconds left, that's your fault. You should be able to beat him easily.


Scenario 2: Your opponent is completely lost but refuses to surrender and keeps on playing.

Response: It's good to see someone who doesn't give up. A lot of people just quit out of frustration. I'm one of the quiters. I just can't bear to find out what happens next. It's too painful. If someone stays in the fight to be slaughtered, it shows guts and balls. You should be giving him a medal for this.

 

Scenario 3: You beat your opponent in at least 2 games and he still offers you a rematch.

Response: Same as Scenario 2. It takes guts to subject yourself to defeat after defeat, to come back and try again and again and again.

 

You call it rudeness. I call it guts and defiance. There are millions of chess players around the world. They play by the same rules as you do but just have different values. My question to you is, who made you the authority on chess? Why do you get to impose your values on everyone else? Who is to say that "manners" are more important than "defiance" and perseverance?

It hurts a lot more to get white gloved across the face by someone who knows how.

Exactly. A guy complains about "rude" opponents and doesn't have manners toward the opposite sex. I wonder how you can possibly have proper respect for the game if you can't help thinking about mating acts with the opposite sex. You could not possibly be taking the game seriously enough. Chess should be interesting enough that you don't have such thoughts when you're playing or thinking about the game. What I find even more bizarre is that a guy would post things like that on chess.com of all places!!!! You're thinking about sex and logging on to a web site about chess to talk about sex? What happened to the cognitive compartmentalisation that is characteristic of males? Chess and sex are supposed to be two different things. How can you possibly get them mixed up?

 

I don't have to have a desire for political correctness to see something wrong with such behaviour. Chess is for nerds and this is not the behaviour or attitude of a nerd.angry.png

 

Sorry to the ladies ........... I'm just trying to reason with another guy.sad.png

Why on Earth does one have to be rude? Is rude behaviour clever or grown up? If someone is not so mentally or socially developed as oneself, is it justifiable to be rude to them. It is not mature behaviour, please excuse my pointing out the obvious.

The one given in life is that people will disappoint you, by their actions or behavior. You can not control that. You can control your response. Most rudeness is intentional but sometimes it isn't. One choice is to react in kind, and that choice creates more strife.  Another choice is to find fault in the offense and elevate yourself to be both judge and jury.  Unless you have the means to enforce your will upon others, this too is rather pointless. Pointing out the offense does no good. The purpose of rude behavior is to elicit a negative reaction. It rewards them with the feedback they were seeking from you. The best answer is to ignore them. Keeping your goats safely tucked away in the barn where they can't be gotten is the best response in my opinion.

@MikeCrockett Wise words! People annoy you because you let them.
