The quality of human on this site is very low
Sort:
So i lose 10 in a row, and on the next game i finally get a winning position in, the opponent leaves the board and lets time run out, wasting 3-4 minutes.
hey on my very next win, again the opponent stops playing with a min left on the clock. poor quality humans, is this the standard?
Replicants are way more solid.
That's why i play bots... play against the server computers

they do if you pour ten cups of coffee into them ,,, this will obviously win v even the strongest chess programme but wheres the fun in that
You dont get "cheated", you arent annoyed by your opponent taking so much time to make a move, the computer never ragequits, leaving you to spend 10 more minutes just waiting for his move.

Quicksilverau - Another thing they do is resign the minute they lose their Queen. Unfortunately this lack of quality is world wide and certainly not restricted to this site. Take a look at Facebook sometime.
I agree with post #2, based on your page you do the exact thing you are bitching about so I guess that makes you one of the low quality humans on here that upset you so much!
Sometimes the players seem quite random, I agree

I know when I get down by too much material I will resign. I don't think it has anything to do with the quality of my person but I know what I am capable of. I'm not good enough to come back from that. My threshold is usually 10+. I'd rather learn to not get down that much than to try and prolong a game.

There is nothing wrong with resigning a lost position, and nothing wrong with playing on in a lost position, but for some reason the "poor quality people" here complain when either of those things happen.
I suggest you quit complaining and enjoy your chess. In general you will have a good experience, especially if you simply ignore those who don't behave the way you want them to.
Edit: Nevermind. I see now that you've played almost 12000 blitz games here. You obviously don't mind the quality of people here too much.
But no wonder it bothers you when someone wastes a minute of your time. You are in a hurry to play another game!

Giving up when you lose a queen is not resigning a losing position - it's analogous to taking your ball and going home when things don't go your way...

"Giving up when you lose your queen is not resigning a losing position" hmm...
Also why are you upset that people let you win quickly? If they played on they might have won if you blundered - would you then be upset that you lost when you should have won?

In fact, when you're down a queen is the ideal time to resign. Resigning when your opponent has mate acheives little other than annoy your opponent, but resigning down a queen saves time and is what the resignation option is for anyway. If you don't want people resigning down a queen, when do you want them to resign? If you say "never" then the question arises of why the resignation option even exists. Clearly FIDE had a clue what they were doing when they included it in the rules of chess, and the countless GMs over the years who have resigned (down a queen!) clearly know more about chess that you do or I do.
I do get annoyed by people wasting time, but then again I ended up playing mostly 1|0 so that's less of an issue. As I've said a few times before (mostly in regards to "rude/verbally abusive" players), don't let what strangers on the internet do affect you so much. It's pretty easy to shrug it off and not care if you set your mind to it.
