deal with it and stop being childish yourself - it happens all the time. you should go and make a cup of tea and come back in 40 minutes to relish the victory.
u mean to say u need to have a jug coffee besides in case u get those kind of players again and again!!
I can't believe that all you guys are insulting and calling names to the people who had to wait for 30 minutes or so staring at blank space! Seriously guys!
1. It's not being "childish", when they had to wait for 30 minutes because some idiot decided to not move for 30 minutes. Think about it yourselves. Would YOU like to have those sorts of people as an opponent? Or are you one of them?
2. You can't just "start another game". I've once had someone purposely disconnect, and wait for me to start another game and get distracted by that, and he reconnected and played on.
So in conclusion, it is suffice to say that your insults are invalid, and what knightrider2000 is questioning is a good and valid question to the mods.
Guys I am also tired of the tricks some guys use at chess.com. I hope many have seen this one. When my opponent's time is about to become 0, suddenly there is a glitch in the display and their clock time suddenly increases by 10-20 seconds. If they use it once, its ok but they around 10-15 times a game and eventhough I am in a winning position with a piece advantage but i have little time on my clock so i apparently lose on time. Is there anyway to report this?
I just come to chess.com to enjoy playing good natured chess and learn a lot from my opponents and I don't want to learn cheap tricks they do on their and probably on my clock time.
Is there any other website where I can play chess...I mean normal good natured chess with no fraudulent actions?
Thanks in advance guys
What about a player using a program ?
Some people need to get rid of their anxiety in socially more acceptable ways like cursing in videogames. You should be proud that you have saved the lives of many innocent would-be terrorist victims.
You could have started another game...
No. YOU could have started another game. Ony premium members can play more than 1 game at once.
Just went through a page of troll comments with no real answer. Reporting system for those who let their time tick or disconnect should be an easy and obvious thing for all to find. Please don't encourage or perpuate the stero type that chess players are anti-social jerks. OP had a legit question and instead of offering help you all just trolled him some more.
And several that perpuate the sterotype that chess players are autistic anti-social trolls.
It's not. I know it's hard to find amongst all the trolling messages in the thread, but you need to report them to support directly by using this - https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new If you happen across another problem, you can find that form by clicking on "Help & Support" on the bottom of the page and then clicking on "Contact" in the upper right corner.
Also, FYI: the mods frown on "naming and shaming".
When I play my 10 minute game the game moves used to be displayed. They are no longer displayed. Why?
if someone writes a bad note at your blog like shit how to report
tell me how to report a player who sent me a nasty message after we finish the game
Light a bag of dog poop on fire on his front porch and ring the doorbell. Hilarity ensues!!!
It has to go to the "Player Report" Depart-inter-net-ment. I hear you can do it on your phone these days. I lost my last game so I'm reporting Eric to the Calif State Police as we speak

There needs to be an option to report a player. I just played one member and at the end when I won fair and square, he started to namecall and blame it on luck (lol, chess has nothing to do with luck, idiot...)
I checked his profile, and it turns out that NUMEROUS people left notes on his profile that they were having the same problem with him, so clearly this is an ongoing problem and mods need to take action with him to prevent this from happening, as, let me emphasize it again, I am clearly not the only person that he is not playing by the rules with.
I've found there's quite a high percentage of people who don't start the game so don't get any 'black flag'
Then I seen the pattern. If they're playing black they allow for a non-start game. And wait for the advantage of playing white. Pathetic? I think so. But watch for this and you may be suurprised to find it's true.
