Ungentlemanly conduct

I chock ungentlemanly conduct as part of the game. At almost every tournament I've played at, I've sat across from a jerk of an opponent. Just something you've got to deal with. They're the best ones to beat actually. But even the jerks can teach you something. If nothing else, they give you an opportunity to find constructive ways to deal with such situations.

In chess, much like life, certain individuals have a hard time accepting defeat. this is when they turn to coping skills they usually learn from a home based inviroment. which in turn could only lead to the conclusion that they really had a lot of good parenting on matters, sad but they themselves could chose to grow for themselves. Rather than just stay in the former imature state, one thing could be takenaway from all of this is that, you yourself could look over there blunders in life. Chose to grow from it, and be a better person, rather than follow the crowd. Be a leader....

Hi all, i'v just played a game in live chess and something strange happened.

After few moves my opponent let pass time and do not respond. His clock was working, so i patiently waited for his move. After 14-15 min (on his clock at this point i can read 13 min) i lost the game (pop up say that i'v abandoned the game) and suddenly clocks change their readings and my opponent's move (only at this point) it appears on the board.

Someone experienced this problem, it's a bug or some connectivity issue?

Tnx for your answers.
