I too am getting increasingly frustrated with players who show little or no repect for their opponent, by not moving when in a hopeless position and timing out while logged in and moving in other games. This has happened 4 times in the last few weeks. As to not resigning when in a hopeless position, i feel this is fine for a novice who is learning the game, as they can learn in defeat. I find it far from acceptable from a very experienced and competant player. I am currently playing 2 such [both with much higher ELO]players who are making 1 move every 3 days, one of whom is perfectly content to move in my other game against him, where things are more even. I do acknowledge that we all have the right to move as and when we like, but with rights come reponsibilties and we have a baisic responsibily to our fellow members to play in a fair and respectful way. |
