I've noticed that many opponents abandon the game especially when they get into a losing position.I think it is lacking in self respect.

I have come across with them a lot and sometimes just not play them at all.

It is very unsportsmanlike behaviour. why not just resign. they always keep the time runs out.

very poor sportsmanship.

It's not true - it's just your confirmation bias operating. An objective analysis would almost certainly show that it's no more or less common with people showing other flags.

I also play a lot with these people showing their flag and certainly they do abandon their games and run the time out.

What sort of objective analysis do you need when you encounter players that abandon their games the moment they blunder a piece?

I have had clowns from all over the world abandon games. Some of them have just let time run out (2-3 minutes) instead of just resigning, or signing off from the site.

it is so annoying when people just abandon games.

You surely cant have played all the Indians, can you? Here is one Indian who is going to not support this behaviour right here.. By the way, Chess.com doesn't allow a player to abandon more than two times consecutively... Read the rules and come

Probably because they're frustrated and they close their device out of anger.

It's rather common - and people from all countries do it. I've done it, too.
