Refusing to Resign
Sort:
I think Erik should sell sense of humor at the member shop
Erik,
i would like to report abuse from this "Lil Chess Partner" to you. Apart from being unsocial by never chatting and a perrenial bad sport by never resigning, I have strong suspicions that there is some use of a chess engine on its part. This is a serious no-no in online play and should not be tolerated. Quit turning a blind eye on our most active chess.com player and address this issue now.
Thank you

Does that mating pattern have a name? Perhaps the harem attack.
Also intetesting pawn structure at the end of a couple of your most recent games, Alabaster. Almost creepy. Reminds me of crop circles!

I say challenge this "Little Chess Partner" (if that is their real name) to another game, purposely get yourself into a losing position and make them play it out. Turnabout is fair play. Ha- see how they like it!
OK Alabastercrashes
I think that you were wrong to ask me to resign when we were playing our game (it is just not sporting). What you failed to understand was we were playing the new "Chess Masters" Edition 6 (version 4, amendment 82) and i also had several Queens on the board BUT they were invisible and you were actually in check at that point. You only really had one move you could make and then my next move was going to be "MATE". I hope this clears up our little situation and i do believe a public flogging OOP'S Sorry apology is in order.
Yours

It looks like some people still don't get it. However, I have to admit that in the early days of 'Live' I was mildly annoyed by the lack of conversation by my opponent. His name was 'Crafty'.

With the realization that Little ChessPartner is a chess engine, the OP is pretty hilarious!
Here's another contextual consideration. Is alabastercrashes a space alien? Is he/she/it revealing something with those crop circles? http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=4057721

Two games in a row, against different opponents. What are the odds? And how many other space aliens might be playing on this site? Could that explain some of the offbeat posts, and unfamiliar play? Creepy, I tell ya. Creepy! Yet strangely alluring; the thought of matching wits against space aliens, across a chess board.
Awesome! Alabaster, you just became my hero
You could have checkmated your opponent a long time ago with two queens instead of spending all your time promoting your pawns so you could have 4 queens. I have a question. Do you know how to checkmate? Or do you just want to cry me a river. Make it long, deep, and wide. Be an adult. You could have checkmated your opponent if you weren't busy asking him to resign.
I once had 63 queens (yes I even turned my king into a queen) vs one king. But that king was commandeered by L. Bongcloud so I had no choice but to resign.
Hilarious stuff this! A sense of humour is worth millions.
Anyone notice that Little Chess Partner will always double pawns on the F and C files if you take the night with a bishop in the opening? Also, it will always force promote a pawn to a queen, which is too bad because I wanted a 4 knights mate.
hahahahahahahaha
lol.
It is more rude to tell someone to resign than it is for someone to refuse to resign.
Four queens???? He may not have been very accomodating about resigning, but you must have had something against mating him. The time it took to get those unneeded queens (after the first one) is probably about the number of turns you need to checkmate someone with one queen. Get a book.
