Unpleasant otb incidents

We all have them. Sometimes I see people just really get frustrated when they lose, which is understandable.

Recently started otb again. In long time controls everyone’s usually pretty respectful. 

1) I was just getting into D4 at this time, around February. I played against a 1900 rated older man who basically smacked my behind in the kings Indian defense, proceeded to miss about five forced checkmates, and went into an endgame a good piece up. But he was low on time and I was able to complicate things when the end result was I sacrificed my knight for his last pawn, when he only had two minor pieces and the game was agreed to a draw. He seemed visibly frustrated, muttering curses at himself for being so stupid. I kinda just sat there dumbfounded. I set up the pieces and left quickly.

2) This one and the next are otb blitz stories. I was paired against a 1900 regular rated guy. He was joking to his friend about how they would both beat all their opponents and face off in the last round. In our game he was in time trouble, 17 seconds on the clock. I checked him with my queen. He moved his king. I proceeded to take his bishop with my queen for free. He suddenly seemed to be full of rage and said “sh*t! Could have taken your queen!” Under his breath. Two moves later he dropped his queen and resigned. He slammed the clock and got up really quickly (there was a small crowd around us) and left all the while muttering “could have taken the queen.” I had to set up both sides of the board.

3) I was paired up with a 2000 regular rated guy in the same blitz portion. I accidentally transposes into a Catalan but somehow managed to get a raging checkmating attack on his king. After he lost he stood up abruptly, grabbed his bag, and did an about face and left immediately, leaving me holding his pieces with my arms extended like a dumba**. I had to set up both sides of the board again. 

sigh.

Hahahahaha.

when I was in 5th grade, I was like 900 rated

i trapped an 1100's rook and he looked really sad, so I offered him a draw because I felt really bad

and he took it

and my coach kinda got mad ;w;

I can't relate, lol

On my first tournament, I was unrated and was about 900ish at the time.. the section was Unrated-500. Made 2 kids cry that day.. 

start lifting and intimidate them

The first two incidents were unpleasant and scared me a bit, especially the first one because it was the first time I saw and adult act like that. I find that the children are better at losing.

On my first tournament almost all of my opponents were afraid of playing with a clock.. it was weird. I had a clock and would bring it to the board and they would say "Do we have to use the clock" it has huge phycological advantage, no joke. I guess the fear of running out of time was what scared them

The clock is a monster. In the first incident I wrote about the time control was 2 hr 5 second delay. He had six seconds at games end while I had fifty minutes.

That's odd I always assumed kids would be the worst losers. I've never played tournaments.

I've found kids control their rage a lot better than adults do in almost every aspect of life, not just chess

The kids who are at least 1200+ usually are well behaved. Probably because all the adults are intimidating.

my only question is how...

how do you get time trouble in classical

Idk lol

aww... aza is kind person

That’s tough

:widepeepohappy:

:peepocomfy:

Imagine being a TD tho you'd probably see this happen every tourney or so

Honestly yeah I talked to a few tds in my state and they all say “it’s hard”
