What do you feel about players that do perpetual checks when they are losing?
Sort:
I tell my opponents not to open a checking account and to put down the "Checks" mix.

He should have, obviously. Just joking. Repetition draws are an absolutely natural part of the game. The game has reached a loose end, as no progress is made, so the game is a draw. Getting to make a triple repetition when having a worse position if clearly part of the game, part of outplaying your opponent.

Time does matter. That's why it was a draw. One player couldn't win because he had insufficient checkmating material. The other player couldn't win because he was out of time. The only possible result is a draw.
don't get yourself into perpetual checks then...
If you can't win but are able to force a draw, shouldn't you?
It's all a part of the game. Do peolpe complain about castling and en passant?

50 moves without a take is a draw right? There is no difference between this and seeking a stalemate.

What do I feel?
I feel we are intelligent, witty, and pretty darn good looking to boot.
Thank you so much for asking.

They have a right to make any move they want; and they definetly want a draw
Perpetual checks annoy me to no end. Unless I'm doing it...I might not mind that so much. lol
The title of this forum is one of the dumbest ever.
another troll thread similar to the one like premoving is cheating i see.
perpetual check by itself is not a draw, usually it follows from the 3 position repetition rule or the 50 move draw rule.
in either case neither players are making any progress so their position cannot be considered won at all
I think its fine, its only due to mistakes that a perpetual check is allowed. Like a mouse getting into a hole, the cat just has to return another day
Only half way through...
And I loopooooove this thread
Such lolz
New favorite quote though.
What a little Btch... He beat you using the rules of the game?!
Here is a game I played some thirty one years ago. Black is certainly not worse, but he must be careful as his king is in some danger.
Finding no perpetual, I opted for another "cowardish" way to draw:
The game went on 44...Ra5+ 45.Kg6 Rg5+ 46.Kxh6 Bg7+ 47.Kxg5 Bf6+ and my opponent offered a draw without moving, and congratulated me for the elegant solution. I guess he should accuse me for cowardness- no?
