Opponent Refuses to Move

[COMMENT DELETED]

I suggest you shorten your posts or learn to accept the sadness of the world or drink Jameson's Irish whisky. This post brought to you by Jameson's Irish whisky.

I'd run into this a little when I would play late at night and all my opponent's were overseas (as you can see I'm in the United States).  There was always considerable (IMO) lag.

Although I wonder how you suggest chess.com "make a player play"

Play 1 minute lightening game.. they'll play.... :p

  If you have a hard time with a couple of paragraphs, I imagine you never read a book? 

  I prefer playing chess, not gambling. 

Maybe they don't even know opening theory AT ALL :L

I play against one of my friends and he takes FOREVER to make his OPENING MOVE! ._.

  Well at leat they are making a move and aren't just sitting there until the game is timed out by the system. 

Sir, I commend your recommendation, but as an Irishman I must point out that it is "whiskey"; "whisky" is generally used for Scotch.

  It has nothing to do with time limits.  The searched time limit is the same. The higher rated opponents will many times refuse to move. 

Well...maybe for you, I'm not so lucky :(

First: Theres is not rule that says I am obliged to play a rematch with you and that has nothing to do with "sportmanship" cause we live in a democracy, isnt it? ACCEPT IT.

Second: We are not in a kindergarten we are in a chess forum. Hmmm…?

And the thread necro of the day award goes to......

maybe they were  looking at something else and did not know the game had started

my bad

Books are a hell of a lot more amusing than the OP probably was.

As is Jameson's Irish Whisky.

I like that saying, "Keep calm, and talk to the hand..."

In this cases i resign and keep my honor.

Which is Hennessy.what's good Irish whiskey.
