how do come to that conclusion ichabod801, I was attack from all angles mainly from people with the stars and stripes beside their names. To me that was insulting at the first. See again you are quick to pounce.

Before your second post, no one attacked you except one who said that you had a low rating and so people shouldn't resign against you. They attacked your point, but that is not the same as attacking you. In your second post, you said everyone else the in the thread was stupid ("lower intellect than their rating"). Then people started attacking you.

 Right. If you give insults, you gotta get ready to take them.

I think the administrators should change the points system for people who resign halfway through a game because they are loosing and they know they can't win. I think they should be penalised heavy like a -50 to their ranking. That's my two bobs worth.

How about: taking the 50 points off their Member Points instead of from their ranking?

What good are member points, anyway? Why is it that half the time on here, people gripe when people don't resign when they know they're going to lose, and half the people gripe when they do?

well, I guess with some of the people in this forum their intellect is a lot lower than their rankings, and as for checkersgosu I play chess to win and not pussy foot around if I need to drop my rook or queen to get the upper hand, so be it buddy.

hahahahaha. You don't drop pieces to get the upper hand. You do it because you can't see that they're under attack and just blunder them away. "durrrr .... me no see bishop gonna taken me queen ... durrrrr"

well, I guess this topic has become null invoid due to the bombarding of crisitism that was centred this way. Who's perfect in this world and how I was to know that a topic could be as sensitive as this. Some people have mention my win lose ration. I admit it is not pretty but if you look at my log I have several victories in under 5 moves. Especially mynmsanthony (1200), me (649) in 4 moves, I think that's quite good for a chess hack like myself who hasn't quite mastered the art of chess yet, maybe I won't mastered it neither but I am going to have fun doing it.

LMAO. So first you start a thread complaining about people resigning early, and then you brag about the games where it happens. Those were your best games LOL. Beating someone in 5 moves is not an achievement at any level. It is always because they blundered terribly. And people with rating of exactly 1200 probably have new accounts. He may actually have been worse than you (maybe he was blind or something).

Many and maybe even most of the games in The Book of Chess end with one side resigning. I thought it was just proper to resign. I resign if opponent has a forced line to checkmate or sometimes if they are ahead in material quite a bit.

So I already missed all the good stuff. 

To the OP:  I think the situation we have here is that you don't understand chess culture or you're just pretending to protest.

He knows the rules, he wishes them changed.

goldendog: whoever said he was talking about the sky? I believe it's long been established on these forums that the sky is most certainly not blue.

Boring, yet another resignation post,

everyone has the right to resign as early or as late as they like, It is thier game too and if they want to play to the death to help them improve thier game they can, and if they want to resign half way through they can.

Well bear in mind that anybody who reads your first post is going to assume that you're trolling and just fishing for reactions. I mean, who gets upset by their opponent resigning? You won the game, you outplayed the guy, and he cut short his suffering. Geez. You should be happy. 1-0 to paulgeo. Yippee. Victory is sweet.

And then you want them penalized for falling on their blade and admitting defeat? Holy cow! Are you a troll? But here you sound kind of sincere, so, yeah..wha? I'm so confused. I'm going to go yell at some cumulus clouds now.

And yes, do have fun playing chess, win, lose, or draw. But I think the only way you can win in 5 moves is if your opponent disconnects before playing the 6th move or doesn't make a 6th move and runs out of time. Such is the nature of this game which enthralls us so.

Also, we get kind of tired of threads about resigning. On any given day, there's roughly a 17% chance that some newbie will start a thread complaining that people resign against him, and a 32% chance that someone will start a thread complaining that people WON'T resign against him.

I think we need to put all the people start both of these types of threads in a boxing ring and let them slug it out. Once they've beaten each other senseless, it'll be much easier for the rest of us to ignore whoever's left standing.

In the context of this thread, it's at least penultimate.

HAHA that's great, quote wikipedia!

"In reality WellRounded is the single greatest chess player to have ever laid eyes on a board, on rare occasion imbeciles like Fischer or Kasparov come along and attempt to claim the title, but the world will always know the truth."

Reading through this thread...we don't sound like the sweetest bunch of people ever. 

To the OP:  Forgive us...I think most people thought you were messing around.  You will see with a little more time that you would probably prefer the opponent to resign rather than to drag things out...keep us updated.  Smile
