You should automatically lose the game should you ever be down more than five points for two full turns.
So if you sac your Queen for a mate in four... you automatically lose?
>saccing your queen for a mate in four
Sacrificing is but a deeply-rooted flaw in the game of Chess. If you have to sacrifice pieces to win without getting a payout within AT LEAST two moves, then you really don't deserve to win. Wake up and smell the roses: that kind of cutesy bullshit would never hold up in the real world.
This deserves a place in the troll hall of fame.
I have to agree with the OP. When someone is down in material by 3-5 points, they should just resign.
I havent seen any successful arguments against him, just a lot of trolling.
I think people that disagree with Petermh5 are either:
1. Perpetual losers who want to get back in the game via some cheapshot.
2. Trolling for attention.
3. Enjoy getting revenge from a legitamate victory by forcing the game to be played out.
These are the only possiblities I can see. There really is no arguing against his position, it is too solid. If I see you all continue to repeat the same futile, failed arguments, then I may write to the staff and see what can be done about all the trolling.
So if i sac a Knight for an attack i am now down 3 pts.and you think i should just resign, That is just a bunch of crap people resign when they want to NOT when you tell them to, so get over it.
No -- please give my rule a quick readover. It explicitly states five points or more, which is the equivalent of a rook. Thank you for your support.
