@CoffeeAnd420 admitting he's a low life, bad sport and run away pu$$y- hilarious
I saw that. That's so funny...
It’s time to ban people from leaving the board in OTB play

O.O

I did discuss it and said "it's allowed to leave the board"- plain and simple. They are the rules. Get over it.
Oh yeah and I promise you now, if you confronted me it would be a major mistake.
How is it going to be a "major mistake"? You're going to get tough with me? LOL. I'll just smack you in the face so hard you'll be unable to play the rest of the tournament. Where are you going with this?
Trying to act so tough and all
Ew
I would say this thread is getting out of hand or off topic, but given how stupid the topic was in the first place, it's hard to argue that really!
I don't think that leaving the board is rude................although, its very possible that that is because I am one of those people with the attention span of a goldfish 😅
I do it *occasionally* to get my mind off the board -- generally after I spent a long time thinking
I get up to pee when it is my move. If you don't like it, time me out. Chances are good, however, that you are the one that gets into time pressure.
I don't give a monkey's if opponents don't like me leaving the board. I sometimes used to walk round a tournament for five minutes looking at games and then come back and look at my position from behind my opponent. Sometimes I used to get up when my opponent moved and go for a walk to think about the moves in my head but some arbiters seem to think that is wrong. However, I think that some arbiters are wrong so that makes us about even.

if you were playing against me and stood behind me looking at the game, you’d have got an elbow between the ribs
What if he was standing 3 or 4 feet behind you? You'd look pretty silly swinging your elbow into thin air pretending to want to elbow your opponent. You would also give the impression that you are very easily distracted.
YES you are so right

Pretty disrespectful to your opponent but ok.
How so? And m not trying to be argumentative about this, I'm just curious how using MY time they way i want is disrespectful to my opponent? I do not disturb them. I will even ask them if i can get them water. or coffee. I like to walk around, go watch the top boards, watch friends games. I dont see how this is being disrespectful?
It is very rude not to give your opponent your full attention. They are taking time out of their day to play you, so show them respect! Besides, it makes it look like you are finding ways to go look up the position on a computer and cheat.>>>
If I thought very hard and very long and worked out a devious and clever plan to make you feel ill at ease, because I wanted you to feel ill at ease, taking time out of my day to do so, would you think yourself very rude if you ignored me?
Seriously, people do much, much worse things when at the board than leaving the board to walk around. They rustle packets of food and sweets, eat noisily with their mouths open, they vibrate, tap their feet, drum their fingers and if you ask them to stop it they can look at you as if you're crazy, they put their weight on the table and move it when it's your move. They smell of various things. Basically they do just about everything that autistic people may be expected to do. Why not be pleased when they're far away?

It's against the rules of chess to deliberately distract another player, unless they themselves are breaking the rules, and then it's within the rules to distract them by asking them to stop. But I would be at least two yards back. If such a person didn't like that and hit me, then hopefully I wouldn't react or I might even apologise to him but if I was tired or on edge, I might hit him by accident and cause a lot of damage, and then he'd probably be in hospital and I might get arrested and certainly I'd be banned from the venue, so all in all it wouldn't end well. It's best not to go around elbowing people in the ribs or over-reacting if they do so, but sometimes it happens. That's just life.
Apparently I am very easily distracting.
Is this chess or... _______?
There are a lot of total crazies on here that want to argue about anything and everything *but* chess. We were arguing about a topic but then you see what it became. Reports on posts of mine from 2.5 weeks ago. It's a zoo on here.
