What do you feel about players that do perpetual checks when they are losing?

OK, then. Venting anger on thread, then getting bashed, then abandoning thread forever accomplished?

Commas can save lives:

Lets eat mom.

Lets eat, mom.

Amen.

you blundered the game away.

37.... c5

it isn't cheap it is part of winning to calculate deep enough to make sure your opponent doesn't have perpetual checks. knowing this is key to win a game. your opponent may have seen the perpurtal check 10 moves before it happened.

Very good point. Don't blame your many mistakes on a rule of chess, please.

So there I was in the ring. 5th round, way ahead on points. I dropped my glove, and my opponent somehow knocked me out. (I am told)

He prolly the same cheater who does the perpetual checks on us all the time! Why can't people just play fair?????

Funny, because I only ever win because of the rules of the game.

Hey, me too! Weird, eh?

I can´t even imagine how he would feel if he gets checkmated after a double piece sacrifice in a gambit line.

Indeed.

I'm looking forward to the day when I understand the comment "double piece sacrifice in a gambit line." 

It means giving away 2 pieces (for an attack) after a series of moves in which you give up a pawn in the opening in return for attacking opportunities, normally getting your pieces out more quickly.

I feel you man!!! SO cheap. like OMG. They're not supposed to do that. It's clearly being a bad sport. Just reading your story makes me so mad I want to puch a wall. I just did. Those pathetic players!!!!!!!!

And he ended up WINNING? Arghh.. i thoght it was a draw. He must be cheating, right?

Those pesky rules.

Here's the thing. If you listen to a Grandmaster analyzing a game where he - or somebody else - had a winning position, you'll quite often notice them saying something along the lines of: "Here white only has to convert his material advantage. We must be careful not to take the rook on c5 however, as that leads to a perpetual check."

In other words: When you're in a worse position and can no longer wish to realistically win the game, there might still be possibilities to go for a draw in several different ways. I do that. Other players do that. Your opponent did that, and you can do it too. 

Of course there are appropriate times for resignation but last resorts aren't cheating, nor are they a sign of cowardice. 

Don't allow your opponent to weasel out a draw. YOU must play smarter if you don't want to accept a draw. Its on you as a player, not on them. They are using a perfectly legitimate tactic within the laws of the game. Yes its cheap, but its legal.

"He was only able to draw due to the rules of the game." Is I think my favourite quote on this forum ever.

I think it is part of the game and find it more laughable that you have a problem with it. If you don't like it, defend against it.
