It was strange experience when I played a game v\s mr. Jslrning.
I was going to win the match on the next move and mr. jslrning was trapped. he quarrelled me for a long time to accept a draw, i refused.
and he told me he was going out of his computer to make me waiting to have a victory.
here is the conversation:
zaphigep has declined a draw
DRAW DECLINED: zaphigep has declined a draw
zaphigep: no, this match has its own fate
zaphigep: either i, or u
zaphigep: look itz mine... :)
zaphigep: u had great chances
Juslrning: well, you should have won a long time ago when I lost the rook the gentleman thing to do is draw given that I fourht back from a defecit. A draw hurts no ones record, then we can play a third game for
Juslrning: all the marbles
zaphigep: ok
zaphigep: no,
zaphigep: i already told u
Juslrning has disconnected. Waiting for reconnect...
zaphigep: i dont accept a draw in the brink of victory. itz nothing less than betraying my heart...
DRAW DECLINED: zaphigep has declined a draw
Juslrning has reconnected.
Juslrning: you there
zaphigep: sure
Juslrning: my computer went blank
zaphigep: waitin for ur next move
Juslrning: I thought I had a forfeit by technical glitch. Sorry, I have an old computer
zaphigep: no prob.
Juslrning: you are not very honest
Juslrning: in the first game, when I was ahead, you adked for a draw
Juslrning: I declined until the score was even then I offered the draw
Juslrning: that was fair
zaphigep: i had many misclicks in that match
zaphigep: bt i never told u.
zaphigep: becauz, itz sportsman spirit
Juslrning: now I have a compuater malfunction, I was behind, I even up the score and adk for a draw, but you refuse
zaphigep: to accept the losses in itz own sense
Juslrning: I am told this is a game for ogentlemen
zaphigep: i dont care your sayings...
zaphigep: just look at the board and do what u want
Juslrning: why is it ok for you to ask for a draw when I was ahead, now when I ask for a draw when we are even, you refuse
zaphigep: no one accepted a draw in this match. okay?
zaphigep: first, u refused. jst like it now me
zaphigep: no difference.
Juslrning: I am sorry you are such an unfair person. In protest, I wil just let the 20 minutes run out. If you want a win on those terms, then you know nothing about sportsmanship
Juslrning: The difference is that you wanted to draw when I had both a material and positional advantage
zaphigep: in the second game, when you having a queen, and u asked for a draw, i refused.
Juslrning: I refused until atleast we had even material---just like we are now.
zaphigep: thats for i wanted a result in the match...
Juslrning: Are you a religious man?
zaphigep: sure.
Juslrning: Because you are not being very honest
zaphigep: how honesty come to this board.
Juslrning: In first game, as you started to lose, you asked for a draw. I was ahead in material and position, so I refused, why draw in those terms
zaphigep: just look at the situation and accept what the level is now...
Juslrning: when we evened up the score, then I accept draw.
zaphigep: bt i lost two points by that
zaphigep: it was equal to loosing
Juslrning: Look let us draw, and play a third game, and no matter what happens we do not draw.
zaphigep: not third.
zaphigep: fourth
zaphigep: u hav already won one. and i am on the edge.
Juslrning: You are afraid AI will beat you. I am just a beginner and am giving you a hard time
Juslrning: I did not win, it was draw
zaphigep: u just try to laugh at me.
Juslrning: in a draw no on wins
zaphigep: bt dear, i dont care it.
Juslrning: I am not laughing I am frustrated by your unfair attitude
Juslrning: anyway, good by. I am going to the store. when the time runs out, you will get your win
zaphigep: no prob.
Juslrning: I believe I can beat you even though you have more experience than I
zaphigep: i will wait for u
Juslrning: I proved it when I just came back and tied the score
zaphigep: no problem dear.
zaphigep: fist, u hav to accept to the situatio
Juslrning: No, I will never play you again. You have no honor

zaphigep: if u r there, itz strange u do jst opposite wot u say.
zaphigep: i read ur topic on Time between moves
zaphigep: and i realized u r a cheater when you are going to lose
Recently I have noticed what I think is a trend in live chess. Many members are playing while at their jobs. this means they can't sit constantly at their computer for an entire game if the game is more than 10 or 15 minutes. If it is during lunch time, it is ok, otherwise, they have to be up and moving about with their work. Even if they work at a desk with acomputer, they must be looking over their shoulders for the supervisor. The other experience I have had several times is that I would challenge a player to a game and if the player is losing, she/he would just stop playing withour resigning, and force me to sit there for the entire time (usually 30 or more minutes) until the clock runs out. It seems like bad sportsman ship to me. I suggest that Chess.com install something to declear the game abandoned if a player does not respond within a reasonable time. Moreover, poinats should be subtracted if players take more than XXXX minutes/seconds between moves.
