Has played more than 2700 Blitz games, and 7 daily games.

Complains about people winning on time.

People not quite clear on the concept:

Stalling is waiting so long to move, that you hope your opponent leaves the computer, then moving, and hoping the opponent loses on time before they realize it's their move.

Pretty much when a person is dead lost, it's a last minute way to win a game. It's highly frowned up, and I think you can report a person for letting his or her time run out when they're on the verge of losing, or at least  when you have a major advantage.

Pretty sure if a player does it too much, they get flagged as a poor sport. From what I understand, it sucks being flagged as a poor sport. Of course, there are other reasons a player might be flagged as a poor sport.

Agree with Caesar. I have watched my opponents clock tick down from 7 mins to 5 seconds then they move.

How come there ARE so many idiots who complain about people winning by time in blitz and other speed games? It’s in the name of the game, idiot: Blitz, Rapid, Bullet...Too bad there’s not a whiny idiot category for whiny idiots who complain and call people idiots. Idiot.

I thought stalling was a tactic in bughouse to hold while your partner meets a specific requirement. The more you know...
