I dislike that opening and will only play if opponent has under 1100 rating so I immediately abort.
Fortunately, most people open D5 or something else.
Anyone have any quirks that would cause a relatively quick resign or abort?

Your opponent will try to play moves you dislike for the whole game. That's the point no?

Worstplayer, I have been docked points on occasion immediately after aborting.

Strangemover, D4 always has me scrambling right off the bat. During the game any other move is fine by me.

I hate when my opponent plays d4, but I don't abort.
I've yet to meet an opponent who opened the game with d5 though, that's an impressive start for white.
D4 it is then. Looks like it filters out the pricks.

Ha ha. I meant E4 not D5. The purpose of this post as I commented early on was if anyone has any quirks opponents do that cause them to immediately resign, quit, etc

I tend to resign if someone takes my Queen and I get nothing in exchange for it. I've come across an occasional quirky opponent who does that.

Sometimes before I take their Queen for free I will put in chat "it is impossible to win without the Queen" hoping they will continue the game to try and prove me wrong.
