Blitz bad sportsmanship?
Sort:
I just completed a 3 minute blitz game with a guy where I won on time. He messages me after saying ‘Poor sportsmanship, ONE and done’. I have no idea what he’s talking about. We were both very low on time in the final seconds, I had a huge advantage but blew it by blundering thinking he was going to do something else and, being short on time, wasn’t thinking clearly. He still ran out of time before me though. And just prior to that he tried to draw by repeating moves but I wasn’t having it, he blundered, and I captured his piece (which led to my huge advantage that I ended up blowing). Does he think I should have accepted a draw? Does he think I was just making random moves at the end to run down the clock? I’m honestly just really terrible when time runs low, but clearly so is he. He blocked me immediately so I couldn’t follow up. Thoughts?
In my opinion his time being low is his fault for taking so much time to think and he shouldn’t blame you for not accepting a draw
I find that I also blunder a lot when under time pressure though
Maybe he was trying to sacrifice a piece to run down your time(I do that sometimes when my opponent has less than 10 secs left
