Unique Method on Live Chess

Has anyone run across players who after Turn 1 just sit idle and let the clock tick down to nothing?  Seems to me they hope you just get frustrated and leave - or that you get disconnected during that time.  Either way, they get the win.

That's not cheating, it's just that you got disconnected and lost the game...

Happened to me multiple times, including when I was about to win. Annoying.

Damn internet.

No, I'm not disconnected.  

Hi jdilley,

I've just posted a topic in relation to this very same thing!! It's titled "bad sportsmanship". I'm sure this guy I was playing was doing exactly what you describe. It really sucks. Any ideas on what we can do about it?

Let the clock time out, then take their points! They will have to stop doing it eventually!

It might also be coincidence that your game is of a lower priority to them. They may be multitabling and getting into a juicy spot on another game.
