I’m so tired of people who make a couple of mistakes and then just let the clock run out instead of resign. It’s like a child having a meltdown.That’s rude and they’re crybabies. Just resign.

lol that's so annoying especially in rapid games you'll wait for a whole 25 minutes hahaha

But still i dont see any issue. U seek here beatiful game not rating points.  If they want to cheat you let them do then. Real chess fan want to win by game not other methods

That's their "time" I suppose to use to have a meltdown, but it is a bit annoying.  I believe as players get more experienced, they use the resignation button more appropriately, give and offer rematches (not leave as fast as they can after a win), and use the chat respectfully, not comment on someones appearance or use vulgar language. If someone is out of line, I assume I am playing a child who is just learning chess and allow them their moment. Hopefully they learn from the rest of us.

Crybabies is the right word to describe you.

Well then your capacity for discernment is quite lacking.

The best thing you can do is to give up the game immediately. Everything else is a waste of time. lupulu

It doesn’t take any wisdom to spot a troll.

I just rationalize that it's their right - just like playing out a game when they are a Q + R down and there's no chance of a great mistake or stalemate.  That way, I don't get "so tired" of it.

Maybe they suffer from wanting to look better than they are and want their record to show they lost on time rather than resignation or checkmate.  I couldn't care less which way it is: they still lost.
