The problem of Children on Chess.com

This is really annoying.

There are a few problems, and my thoughts

1. The stalling in these pictures. Just tell them that Stalling is against chess.com fair play policy (it is) and they typically actually play a move after that. getting banned for fair play is really embarassing, especially if ur a kid and have to deal with ur friends jumping u after that.

2. Kids being annoying in general. Lets define kid. for our purposes, Kid is anyone under the age of 11 (starting middle or junior high school) who acts in an immature way. Some say that they should go to Chesskid. many problems with that. Ive seen my brother be on chesskid. its not even Chess. half the kids there dont know how to even operate the thing, and im betting that 5% arent even kids. however, Chess.com isnt the right place for them, because they are not mature enough to deal with themselves and their emotions(this is why i put in the "in an immature way", there are many mature 7 year olds out there). Just ignore them, or maybe teach them a lesson to be a better person. Parents intervene most of the time when one's this young.

3. The Gaming thing. This isnt really a problem, everyone games once in a while. idk why this is here

sorry if i textwalled, I tend to do that when i explain stuff.

Lol.

There's many reasons people play longer games, 30 or 60 minutes. It's a good way to improve

The only time anyone should play 30 min is in a tournament

or in practice for one

this isnt an issue of kids...

Grown adults stall lost games all the time.

Its part of playing chess on a live website. Deal with it, grow up. these people get punished if they stall, so its not like there's no action taken.

Also like many people have pointed out you literally went into a 30 minute game and only used 7 minutes. You're the most ridiculous person ever sitting here complaining that the other person is stalling.

thats no excuse for them stalling, time is there when you need it. if im ridiculous, then you should probably go to a different forum.

Yeah, I've had people accuse me of "stalling" after taking a minute or two to think in a critical position, that isn't stalling though.

no he sat for 3 minutes in that position, nothing to think lol

did I give an excuse?

I said them being kids isnt the problem. Grown adults do this as well.

Did you bother to even read what I wrote? You are putting yourself in the worst possible position to be stalled against. you literally queued up a 30 minute game, and used 7 minutes. You're a ridiculous person.

And omg you just said you had to wait for 3 minutes. Wow, we're all so sad you lost 3 minutes of your life. 3 MINUTES. WHO CARES

Was it a move away from checkmate or something? Or was it a perfectly valid time to be thinking about a move, three mins is not that long

Avatar of navinashok

actually, they fkn waited out the whole game and at the time, they made a move AFTER 3 minutes AND STALLED FOR 20 MINUTES. ITS NOT STALLING IF ITS 3 MINUTES IN A LOST POSITION LIKE DAMN
