White to move - abuse of the Game Adjourned freature?? Ron Willoubhby perhaps you can answer - warts

Does this look like an accident ?

Here are some tissues to dry your cryin eyes. Please talk to your opponent or perhaps a staff member next time about such issues. To this monkey, as well as the other members, it is just a petty "I'm gonna tell on you" shout out that is doing nothing except wasting forum space. Remember, we're just playing a board game, don't take it so seriously   Your opponent acted in a silly manner, move on. Internet chess isn't something to waste too much time on eh? Have fun, play.

WOW - and this from someone who blabbers on in such a mindless manner about his chess life and being booked up and studying the books and .....blah, blah, blah

I could go on about your self absorbed mindless blog that screams "LOOK at ME" but what is the point?   Then again, seems you don't need a point for your blog so perhaps, i'll continue.

Do you think anyone actually reads that blog you have set up????

You did

I have never encountered a "game adjourned".....  would that not be the same as a resignation?  I Recognize that is a unique problem to live chess, but if you are playing poker on line and you lose your connection......  you lose what ever has already been bet and your hand is folded (unless no one called your bet, live though your hand would be folded if you take a phone call or leave the table)..... in a tournament your blinds are taken whether you are present or not.....  that is true in live play as well......

Since that is not the case, I will keep that in mind when we play live chess.....  my anger at a bad decision that I make, will from now on be directed at my modem.....  in fact I am loosening my connections as I write this.... 

now as for the tissues..... I actually needed some as my eyes watered with laughter......  Ace, I know you have a great sense of humor, so I suspect that it was only that you were looking for a more serious response.  His remarks were out of line in speaking for other members, and certainly a bit ironic for him to poke fun at someone else who is taking his chess seriously.  I do think that this issue needs to be addressed, not because you want to punish one individual (which is not your nature....well....  except now maybe, but only for a certain monkey..... can I say "spank the monkey"?), but because it is going to be abused.....  perhaps a save, store, and reschedule default would be ideal (like the World Series), but otherwise it should be just treated as a forfeit.... you cannot be responsible for other's equipment.... no pun intended.....

By the way Ace, good job on your game improvement, it has not gone unnoticed.... keep it up my friend.....  look forward to playing you again soon.

Heya Zombie,

Are you suggesting I was a wee bit excessive with our simian friend last night?

• bitten by a boar
• too messianic
• gouged and gored
  
• But I pulled on through?
  
• Im a fleabit peanut monkey
  
• All my friends are bunkies
• Thats not really true
  
• Im a cold italian pizza
  
• a lemon squeezer
  
• What you do?
  
• But Ive been bit and tossed
  
• she-rat in this town
• sac of broken eggs

lol your opponent is probbaly a "rage-quitter" suck specimens have been observed in nature to

1) drop pieces like no tomorrow

2) play on to oblivion

3) when even they feel darkness coming they flame you and then

4) mysteriously  disconnect

Maybe your opponent was a "rage-quitter"

we know we know we know and we're working on it.

 did anyone else get the rolling stones reference or was that just me?

i haven't the foggiest what this conversation is all about but i was listening to the monkey man song today in the car.. great song, and let it bleed is a great album

if you got your name from a zappa song, zombie drop me a message i have some pretty obscure stuff i took from lp and burned to mp3 i could hook you up with

i was playing it first time in that section...& accidently i clicked on abort..

So your opponent disconnected and quit.  Congratulations you got the win.  I dont see what posting the game for others to "analyze" is supposed to accomplish.  Take the win, and just accept the fact that your opponent more than likely is a bad loser.
