If you allow your defenses to become such that perpetual check is possible, you get what you deserve. Same goes for allowing a stalemate.

... o.O

Perhaps your time spent crying about it could have been better spent learning how you can prevent it from happening in the future.

1Doc, here's a game where a repeat US champion is losing badly and then brilliantly gives away his entire army to force a stalemate:

By your logic he's some kind of poor sport or cheater for simply seeing further than his opponent.  He did not break any rules, nor "hide" anything as your post suggested.  He outplayed his opponent, who happened to be another top-level master with the maturity to handle such things.  Were he not, he would in fact be the poor sport here.

Good one. 

No. It means you are a poor player and just plain whiny.

I hate it when my opponent checkmates me when I have more pieces!

@pentiumjs: Nice use of perpertual check threats and final stalemate trap by Christiansen!

@1Doc: You could take up Chinese chess instead...

OP, regardless it is legal and they have the right to check your king if it is on. It sure can be annoying and frustrating but that's the outcome of a poor defence. You could always offer a draw, if it is not accepted ride out the onslaught or resign.

Logically its a draw because your king is never able to be safe

Stalemate on the other hand, is fucking retarded and should be abolished. It should atleast be a 3/4 win and 1/4 loss

There are way too many posts like this on the forum already. People complaining about some type of legitimate strategy because they have some weird, idealized way they want the game to be played. "Winning on time doesn't count", "You should give me a draw if I blunder", bla bla. 

As you said; it's just a game, but since we are actually spending our time playing this game and trying to be good at it why wouldn't we avoid a loss when we can? 

1Doc, I think you should stay away from this game if the rules are not acceptable to you. Your arguments are pretty idiotic, as has been pointed by others too. I often have cry baby opponents who rant at me when I get a perpetual on them. I have had people do a perpetual on me too, but I accept that as that is actually a part of the game. Please try to grow up or play something else with those kids in kindergarten. They might just appreciate your kind of thinking.

                     Its like when you ask out a female and she says no. Completely unfair. But I sapose if she almost said yes, then that would be a 1/4 win.

3/4's win? How is that even possible?

... And how exactly would you divide that up?

A win or loss or draw is an outcome from a game, you can't have a combination of fractional outcomes. Though you can have multiple outcomes if you have played a series of games/formats etc.
