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


Think of it this way. The implicit aim of chess is to capture the opposing king. If you are 100% occupied with your king not being captured, how well are you doing? That's where you are when your opponent has a perpetual check.

But HEY, its still a game. For most of us no reason to be pissed about yourself or others... just my 5 cents.....!!

I think it's all part of the game. Anyway you can find a way to win or draw without cheating is Ok. it's the name of the game at the end of the day.

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.
they're not losing if they have a perpetual check lol
and it's your fault for not spotting the reason behind his pawn sac
If anyone needed proof that chess players are idiots this thread is it. 7 1/2 years of people talking about perpetual checks. Kind of ironic really.

I think he means people who yak on about perpetual check form the idiot bloc among chess players. I seriously doubt that many players commenting here are over 2200 OTB, and those who are are on the right side of this one.
Better to draw than lose!
