In every sport, there are always people who show poor sportsmanship. What you experienced is actually pretty common in chess, especially when someone’s upset about being in a losing position.
Letting the clock run down instead of resigning is usually just an ego thing. It’s like their way of holding on to control or expressing frustration, even if it’s unfair to the opponent.
Stalling is a punishable offense. Bannable if done repeatedly. Block and report.
What they do is (personal exp) like they blunder the queen, stall for 8 mins, then at 7 sex on their clock, they move
Anyways, the trick is they wanna make you think, oh he is gonna run the clock out, lemme grill a sandwich now, then after 20 mins u come back and see, they moved at 7 sec, but you lost for time, cuz u were 'grilling a sandwich'
I really don't understand why people would leave you minutes waiting in front of your computer before resigning a game just for a bunch of points...
I just don't get it and would like to understand.
It is really to punish the other player? Some kind of retaliation?
Are we not playing to have fun and not to hurt others?
If I win I'm happy for me, not for beating someone. And If I loose, I get angry with myself.
I just played a game where I blundered and went all inn. Somehow I managed to put the oponent in a position of a M1 (he was doing movements every 1 to 2 seconds). I guess he got so pissed of not being able to hold his advantage that he left me waiting for 1 min. What is the point?
I also don't understand why chess.com does nothing against it. You should loose a tone of points if you leave your opponent for 1min waiting if you are in a M1 situation. Whether you accept the mate or you resign.
Can some of you give me your thoughts? Maybe I miss something here?
