I apologize to my greeter for resigning after three moves, but I joined the site to play against my friend. Won't happen again. This is a great site. Thanks!
Odd behaviour: Resigning every game

TheGrobe > please excuse my grammar and writing style (spelling is hard to).
I am not one for the writen word but like to try and put my thoughts across:))
I enjoy the interaction of this site and You are A Great Contributor > If you can help guide me on the way I should approach answering these post things I will be very pleased or if I should just shut up I will do (no offence):))
I was just messing around -- it struck me funny so I commented. The y and the t are right next to each other on the keyboard so it's a common typo and perfectly understandable (I'm sure if you dig I've done it here myself). No criticism of your grammar or spelling intended. Post away as you see fit.
Thanks You are great !! I will not loose the thread YO!
that person may have more than 1 account....

Woah, apparently there are people who are under 1000 who actually seem to try.
Possibly due to cheating. They don't wanna get caught
A few days ago I ran into a similiar player. It showed that he had a rating of over 200 at one time but it is now around 1200. He resigned after only 5 or 6 moves. Checking his profile he does this frequently. I questioned him about it and he gave some lame excuse. I then ran across the same person on a different dite and he does the same there as well.
God must love crazy people because he has made so many of them. 
I just think this type of play is a waste of time for everyone concerned.

Could be someone suffering from depression? They make a few moves, bouyed by the idea that this time it will be different, or that this time they won't make any mistakes (which may be imagined), only to find that the "perfect" game isn't materializing and then they resign.
I meant his rating was over 2000 at one time not 200. Yes, I guess it is possible to be looking for that "perfect" game but that is like searching for the Holy Grail.
Just to dump a lot of games trying to find that one game that is right for him is not depression it is "nuts". 
Could also be someone who's obsessed with playing a particular opening line and who immediately dumps any games that don't go down the path he or she wants.
maybe its so that they will take reenge on another player who is rated really high eg 2500 then that person will drop like a billion rating points.
By resigning to them? I'm not sure that's how ratings work....
I have had one opponent whom I played and I won by resignation > OK > then the same player challenged me to a game and said will you resign as I am new to Chess.com I need to have played (I think 5 games) so they could get into a YOURNEY > I refused and said> that is not the way to go about things.
Possible the player wanted to accelerate their games to enter.
I have a friend who has no home Internet access, I became friends after a team match and we have played a number of games (I think 3 or 4) her rating is about 900 > I will give this friend a game any time as that is what real chess and friends are about (the last time we played it was 10 days per move and it was still a struggle for her)
These for me are two different ways to loose a game.
For those who don't know, Yourney is Swedish for Journey, and it seems the best way to get into Journey is to try out for the position of lead singer -- they just can't keep one in the lineup. Anyway, I digress....
Another possible motivation for this is to get their timeout ratio down under a certain threshold so that they can get into a yourney -- er, tourney.
