Can you think of an explanation for them starting a game that they aparently have no intention of completing? It happens too often for it to be inexplicable!
Time wasters

I would be happy to venture a few guesses although there really is no way to know....
1) they prefer white and they got black
2) the phone rang
3) they remembered something they needed to do
4) they feel their opponent is either too weak to play or too strong
5) technical difficulties
6) their kidneys gave out (trip to bathroom)
OK thats a few reasons i'm sure others can come up with many more.
I believe they are dreamers who think they have high intelligence and who, when they discover their limitations simply cop out. Sometimes they string out the time of their games probably in the belief that they might win cos the opponent has forgotten to play after such a long time! Lol!
It may be that they have discovered that its really fun to mess other ppl up! Never mind trying to compete with the swots just mess them up cos when the swots can't find any authority to complain to it'll really bug them and they'll run around complaining and pissing EVERYONE off!
I'm 'playing' a beautiful New Zealand girl aged 20 who never makes a move (at least in chess!) but has a lot of players waiting. I don't think she has played a single game to the end and its very frustrating!
why do you call yourself kaynight? how can i be sure that you are a person at all? in my opinion you are far from k and not entitled to ask questions on behalf of the community. so there!
Non players who never make a move are here! Does anyone know if their rating is effected? These games just seem to disapear without benefiting the would be player!
