You know what really grinds my gears ?

I'm in the middle of a game, and my opponent decides to take a vacation !

Imagine you are playing in an OTB tournement and your opponent leaves the hall to catch a plane to Timbuktu.

That's right, just gets up from the game, and tells you that he/she has a plane to catch.

" Vacation ? We're playing a game here ! Resign you ill-mannered c%$* ! "

Good, glad that's off my chest.

You know what else grinds my gears...................................?

Yeah, I hate those OTB games that take 2-3 months to complete 

If you don't like vacation, play in No Vacation tourneys or play Live. Correspondence games can take a long time, depending on the time control, and sometimes people have other things going on during that time frame.

I wish you would go on holiday, a very very long holiday. Get lost.

How did you win a K+R vs. K+R endgame?  Usually that's a draw, no.

you're right. there were pawns still.

Corespondance chess is slow.  Whether people go on vacation or not makes precious little difference in the scheme of it in most games.  If I want fast games I play live chess or 24 hour/move no vacation tournaments.

I dislike players like the OP and Americu. You know what the rules are before the game begins so if you don't like the rules then don't play.

The ones who write rude things in your notes (usually in broken english) if you beat them on time or refused a rematch, and especially a combination of both.

Also a guy who you beat 6 times in a row and keeps offering more rematches.

" so if you don't like the rules then don't play. "

Hey moron, I have issues with ONE rule. Not " rules " ( plural )

I don't like the offside rule, so should I stop playing football ?

I don't like the pass interference rule in American football, should I stop watching ?  etc. etc.

ROFL.

I'm going to make a sockpuppet and challenge Americu to 20 games, then if he accepts any of them, get into losing positions in each one and then one move from mate, go on vacation.

There's only one real thing to take from this, the OP must have an incredibly small penis.  Clearly so does Americu, what a shame...someone should start a new thread for them to argue whose got the smaller dong...Noone truly wins in that argument.

PS. I am not tracking this thread, so any ridiculous response to my post from either trigs or americu simply reaffirms my point, small dongs.

Your eloquence is truly splendid.

I bow before your linguistic elegance.

The Bard himself could not elucidate with such clarity and wit that is in your possession.

It is true, I do have a small penis, but with proper nutritional enhancement and vigourous excercise, I hope to measure up to your manhood.

In the meantime... I think it may be time for your diaper change.
