Pisses me off, that and when the timer runs out.  made me run out of time.

 Why is poor sportsmanship allowed?

You're complaining that someone made you run out of time? Lol.

Next you'll be complaining someone was rude enough to checkmate you.

I was winning the game, time stalling is ****ing enraging.

Avatar of Scottrf

Time stalling is part of the game, don't play blitz.

Avatar of AdoIf

If I do not play that than people take 3 days to make a move just to piss me off. On my old account I kept getting message from this **** bragging about him not making a move yet. Game lasted forever.

If it was your clock that ran out, you can play 2 | 12 instead of 10 | 0 then you won't run out of time and can finish the game.  Stalling tactics to waste your clock and make you lose on time are useless in a 2 | 12.

There are five and a half million people registered on this site... you should be able to find an opponent who is willing to play a game at slow time controls without deliberately abusing it.

You've only got one game online anyway, which started today. When exactly were people taking 3 days just to piss you off?

Avatar of Ziggyblitz

In my first blitz game I had a mate next move, but I had to wait until my opponent timed time.  So pathetic ! Needless to say I'm not a big fan of live chess. With slow online (turn based) games it doesn't matter if my opponent drags the game out as I have a good number of games to keep my entertained.

I can't relate.

People send me money via PayPal after I beat them to show their gratitude.

@Corrijean: C'mon, the Misfit wasn't such a bad guy. I think that the OP Adolf could learn a few things from him at least in terms of speaking well and speaking politely (though I hope he doesn't escape from jail and commit homicide).

@Adolf: Since this is your second account, can we safely assume that you were banned from the other account for spamming the forums and/or for treating other members outrageously?

Hello Adolf, the OP!  Welcome to chess dot com.  You realize that name kinda went out of style around 1945 right?

Along with that square moustache thing.  Hitler kinda ruined that look for at least the last 70 years and probably for the foreseable future.

Avatar of johnmusacha

Ok, well, let me amend that last comment.  The square moustache thing is still kinda acceptable here in South Florida (and maybe elsewhere in America) with African-Americans or Bahamian/Carribbean people of African descent.  

I had a close friend in school from the Bahamas with that exact same moustache.  We nicknamed him "Black Hitler" and even wrote and sung a punk-rock theme song for him, which was just blaring distorted electric guitars and screaming "Black Hitler!  Black Hitler!  Black Hitler!  Black Hitler!" kinda done in a Speed Racer kinda way.

I think that was an Against All Authority song.Tongue Out

Avatar of johnmusacha

Well this was in 2001.  Let me look into that.  Perhaps we were subconciously influenced and didn't know it.
