Is there a way to stop getting alerts for this post? I can't believe people think they can add understanding to a dead horse. Read previous posts first before commenting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just after the final post, you will see a radio box with the words: "Tracking Comments!" Unclick that...something we should all do!
Nothing wrong with it. Same as being loads up on material and then your opponent getting stalemate. Part of the game. Serves you right for playing carelessly.
When you post, please be aware that the only reason this goes on is because the OP occasionnally necroes the thread with a restatement of his original position and calling others morons.
Be aware that you are feeding a troll, even if you like hearing it roar.
Who have I called a moron? I've been called a moron on this thread and other insults. I don't think I've insulted a single person on this thread. Please provide quotes.
Technically, you are right, I cannot find you calling others morons.
However:
Nah, I think if someone is beating me pretty good and has proven to be the better player, I'm not going to do a bunch of checks that lead to nothing just so I can collect points. It might be part of the game, but it's cheap and pathetic.
(...) and save his sorry a66
ok mr psychic. (...)
To OP: If you want sympathy, get a dog--unconditional love. You might even train him to resign dead drawn positions. Please do not share your DNA and perpetuate your stupidity. Please.
go F yourself. Man, remind me never to make a post on this website. Telling me to grow up and you post this?
Oh, god, I just had another one of these games (...) but if the idiot wants to perpetual let him lose on time.
Hope you appreciated the archaeology.
Would you resign in a position where you were 'losing' if you could salvage a draw by perpetual check?

lol that's pretty lame. For one, I called the tactic cheap and pathetic not the person that uses it. I guess we should all be more politically correct when talking about nouns. Telling that guy that advised me not to share my dna to go f off is pretty tame for what he said to me. Mr. psychic? Really? Ouch, he called someone mr. psychic.. And saying save his sorry ass was more out of frustration in the way the game ended. Nothing close to what I was called on here.

If I've gotten to the point where my only remaining tactic is to try and get a perpetual check then yes resign.
Less than 600 posts left. come on, morons.
Find someone else to get you your 600 posts.
Last post.

Just posting this as a reminder to myself not to make further posts in this thread. I'm sure the OP will celebrate breaking 400 posts. I'm sure he considers that a worthy achievement.
Say you're beating someone and aren't that far away from a mate. Say he somehow breaks through your defense with a queen and begins checking you all over the board. What do you feel about this? I was winning a game pretty handidly and my opponent sacrificed a pawn in order to give his queen open space to check me. It was in a position in the board where I didn't have a shield for my king and so he could have checked me as many times as he wanted. I think it's pretty cheap.
I think your opponent is a brilliant player.
Ever see a cat play with a mouse he's caught? He let the mouse run just to torture that mouse by "perpetually catching him, then letting him go, then catching him...til the mouse litterally almost die from exhaustion"....
I wish my cats would play with mice. Instead, they're napping upstairs all day (hot air rises) while the mice run rampant downstairs.

No.
"What do you feel about players that do perpetual checks when they are losing?"
- If they have a perpetual check, then they AREN'T losing.

End of discussion.
Well, it honestly is frustrating when something like that happens to you. It is your responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen, but sometimes things get over looked, especially at the end of a long OTB game. Can't say I think a whole lot of them though. I'd do the same thing if I was in their position. It's chess. Anybody who lets something like that really get to them needs to take up a different hobby. Maybe birdhouse building... Or perhaps rock collecting.
Or perhaps rock collecting.
My favorite hobby... even more so than Chess.
Currently collecting outer-space rocks. Lots of Meteorites, several Moldavites (gem quality Tectites) and a small sample of dust from the Lunar Highlands.
If someone keeps posting despite having lost the argument is this a way of "drawing" a forum discussion topic ? "Perpetual Posting" ?
