Hmm, intriguing. I don't like the speed of that game or the attitude of the player. Lol.

I agree about the attitude of the player.  I couldn't see the tipping of the king clearly, but for tipping part I agree.  The topic of resigning has been discussed so many times on www.chess.com that it may have the most posts.  As I understand it if you are resigning that is the correct way to do it.  Although I doubt that it would change people from nonresigning to resigning, it certainly woud be in the spirit of proper chess to make a change so that when you resign your king is tipped.

You couldn't see the tipping of the King clearly?  Look at the time I told you - it flies off the board and right into the indian girl standing in the background.  An instant classic.
