Requesting Draw

Sort:
Elypsix
During my last game, after 3 or maybe 4 moves, my opponent asked for a draw. Which I refused because it was the beginning of the game.
A few turns later, my opponent let his clock come to an end.
With the Chess.com Code of Conduct, what can I or should I do?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm was ur rating higher than your opponent? Maybe he forgot to abort on first move😀

If I remember correctly, Chess.com will recognize this as abandonment automatically, and if the player keeps doing it that would be looked at, so you don't necessarily have to do anything yourself!

 

That said, there's a chance they unexpectedly had to leave and that is why they offered a draw so early on. Of course, you don't have to accept the draw offer regardless of your opponent's situation!

A friend of mine (Noel-P) requested a draw since he had to leave unexpectedly. I agreed and saw no harm in it. We play(ed) almost every day and he is also an friend in daily life. Now he is blocked for doing this. And now we cannot play anymore. For Christ's sake, it's just just fun and game. So why this kind of behaviour towards player(s) that are otherwise very sportive? Please make this wrong right!

Are you sure that this is the reason for the block?

That is what my friend supposed it was. Maybe he could have tried to open another window to play to another friend simultaneously. I don't know for sure. In any case... If nobody complains about one's behaviour, there is no problem, isn't there?

Friendly regards, Marcel.

I wouldn't think that a single minor incident like this (not even sure if it's actually a violation of the FPP, after all it's just a draw agreement) leads to blocking. Maybe too many aborted games or something like that? Regarding complaints: most people don't bother to complain, even if they are annoyed, so yes, there might be a problem even if nobody complained.
