Utter cads are prepared to use perpetual check to gain a draw. Better players pull the wool over the eyes of novice players with the mysticism of "en passant"...

What about triangulation and "losing a move". Simple question:

White moves then black moves BUT eager to gain better position, a player may make a devious triangular manoeuvre to compromise his presumable gentleman/lady opponent. Within in the rules, yes ! Within the spirit of the game ? Open to debate...

That's alright mate. I'm preparing our Christmas thread by the way for this year after the underwhelment of last year.

Triangulation is most definitely unsporting. Just like hitting a home run, shooting a hole in one, bowling a strike etc.
