Too bad for you because you could not beat them in the alloted time.

Nothing wrong with beating the opponent on time.

You claim to read countless books all the time but could not bring yourself to read three paragraphs online. An interesting phenomena don't you think? How are we to make sense of it?

Human volition.

Perhaps you live in a world of internet memes, of pussy-cat gifs, glib tweets of 280 characters max and its made you intellectually lazy? Three whole paragraphs of words, such a mission.

How old are you?

Are you serious about your last comment?

I find such players to be trying to achieve a win, and thus, I opine them to be wise.

flaggers are just so unsportsman like, they will try anything for a win,

for example, i once had a game i was rook + pawn up in endgame but i had 1min 2sec left on my clock, so my opponent tried to flagg me and then did, but this is not realy chess becuese chess is about strategy and plans and things like that, not about flagging people for an unfair win!

Three paragraphs of well-written prose is a piece of cake, but three whining paragraphs on the topic "My mean opponent refused to resign when I was losing on time" is a long slog indeed

Indeed.

I see two paragraphs, not three.

I didn't read it because OPs like this are a dime a dozen. Some kid with a frail ego can't accept they suck, and don't think it's fair that [fill in the blank].

People complain their opponent played too fast, too slow, didn't resign, resigned, didn't chat, did chat, didn't say gg, did say gg, didn't offer a rematch, did offer a rematch, didn't offer enough rematches, and I'm probably missing at least a few more.

But I didn't completely skip the OP because I was scared of 3 paragraphs

OP''s who pose this question are all the same: they hate to lose because of inferior time management, so they want others to blame the players who actually won them. When the good people of Chess.com's forums point out that the OP's could have chosen a longer time control, could have chosen a time control with an increment, or could have respected the fact that they actually lost, they get mad and attack others for "attacking" them(!).

Actually, I thought this thread was quite reasonable until the OP started really fumbling the ball by blaming others. At that point, I must confess that I enjoyed seeing a bit of snark directed his way.

I understand like, in bullet or ultra-bullet, it's actually very much a part of the game. And even in blitz/rapid/classical when your opponent takes too long - you know that's part of the game. I am talking about situations when your opponent is dead, dead lost and they try and cheese out a victory on time. And sometimes they succeed. Sometimes not.

Here are my thoughts. I don't want to win like that. If it were me, and I were beat OTB. Positionally, tactically - whatever - I've been outplayed. I've been beaten. At chess. I don't want the win. In fact, I would resign if I thought I might win such a game. I don't expect everyone to be that way. That's just me. It's perfectly reasonable for anyone in that situation to take the victory on time. It's part of chess.

But people who don't resign, when they've been totally outclassed, hoping to win on time....I'm not talking about worse....I'm talking about dead, dead lost (down a piece in the endgame, etc), and they try and hang on and cheese out a win....I'm sorry. I have zero respect for that player as a human being.

s win by clock is a legitimate win and one of many wining tactics

i dont see why people who are dead lost on time keep trying to win with extra material.

I see statements like it all the time, 'too long didn’t read'. It really made me wonder what they consider to be manageable and why three rather small paragraphs might be too taxing. I suspect that if your intake of literature consists of twitter feeds, facebooks memes and youtube videos you will become conditioned to being spoon fed and end up intellectually lazy. To use laziness as an excuse not to read something and to flaunt it as justification for not reading almost beg belief. Don't they realise that its not a reflection of the content but of they themselves?

If you don't like losing on time, don't play with a clock. Dead simple.

Yep. If they have any honor, if they have a modicum of respect for the game, they should resign.

Robbie, I have done nothing to personally attack you or to belittle you, yet you continue to be uncharitable toward me -- an absolute stranger -- by assuming to know my motives and intentions and then attaching those assumptions to moral conclusions (e.g., "laziness"). It boggles my mind. Peace to you, brother.

I don't personally like it when it happens, but I don't get annoyed at my opponents. I agree at the beginning of the game to give them so much time. They can use it however they like. If I run out of my own time, that's my fault.
