Hi Andy The prodigy King we were talking about to players they started fighting over how you should play the game and who is better and talking about shooting some animal for fun it is all Messed up.

the way you won was embarrassing because it was slow.

These are end games IMO, and the skill you want to practice is called 'technique',

Your mistake is thinking I do not understand technique or that I was trying to win. The game was already over in my mind. There was no challenge left. It was 100% going to result in a checkmate, as it did. I was messing with them. Deliberately.

A reasonable person can disagree on whether that is justified. A reasonable person cannot read what I just said and continue the argument that my technique was bad.

That's literally what I was saying?! I was literally disagreeing with other people who said your technique was too slow and you quoted me as if I was saying it? Is this why everyone in the thread is upset with you?

No, you examined what I did on a technical skill basis. I am not even playing chess. I am poking a poor baboon with a stick, pushing him into a cage, and then urinating on him. And then shooting him in the head when I've had my fun.

If I cared at all about technique, I would deliver checkmate one of the countless times it's there and I see it, and I instead advance a pawn.

Are you by chance 11 years old?

Are you by chance someone who never resigns?

It seems like you are someone who never resigns. Which explains why you take this so personally. As you should, I'm talking about you. I torment players just like you.

I am not taking anything personally, I just can't fathom anyone over the age of 11 writing "I am poking a poor baboon with a stick, pushing him into a cage, and then urinating on him. And then shooting him in the head when I've had my fun.".
It was a genuine question, not meant as an insult.

I can't fathom anybody watching those games and thinking I was actually trying to play well. Nor anybody thinking resigning is against the rules. But here we are.

maybe do like a hard move so the person you are going against will lose and you will win?

Ya, that's how we got to the point where I start making fun of them for not resigning. Lots of hard moves on both sides. And I came out victorious.

Then the part came where they should display good sportsmanship and resign. Instead they chose to insult me.

Clearly you made this post to brag about your “skills”. Terrible sportsmanship is what this is. “Why did they resign?? Dude, you have mate in 1.

Just for the record, I never argued about who here is the better player at chess and I also wasn't the person who brought up shooting animals for fun.
Also just to quickly touch on you saying that we are being rude and displaying terrible sportsmanship, I get your point but I only care about sportsmanship *whilst* playing the game of chess, and thus I will not follow your request.

Brag about what? I'm not that good at chess or at toying with people. I watch videos of grandmasters doing both of those far better than I'll ever hope to. I have fun though.

just for the record PLAYMELAWYER I was not talking about you and if you scroll up you can see that you were the one who said that you can't believe that someone would say that they were poking a baboon with a stick pushing him in a cage and then urinating on him and then shooting him in the head when I had my fun. so it is not my fault that you just had to say that and it is also not my fault that you think what you said was a question and some people got mad, and who cares if you did not accept that stupid request and I know you were not the one who acually said that I said someone not you

jskukms4 I agree with you .

You should have just put your opponent out of their misery, instead of hanging a knight and rook for no reason. The guy went through enough while losing a completely winning game.

1. I had a very good reason

2. Show me where I lost

Just to quickly address your second point, he never claimed you lost the game.
Just to quickly address the reponse you deleted in which you claimed your "very good reason" was to see his endgame tactics, I wonder which endgame tactics you were trying to learn from your opponents play in below position.

He said I lost the endgame. I didn't lose anything, anywhere, at anytime. I crushed these guys and chose to lick every last drop off of my fingers.

As you should. It was good practice though, can never be too sure only up a couple pieces

Rewatching the game I really expected that black will eventually stalemate white. It was quite foolish for white to resign at that point.

the moves that you saw that you thought would lead to stalemate, were actually avoiding stalemate. rule #1 in doing that is always make sure he has somewhere to go, even if you have to make 7 straight waiting moves before pushing your pawns.

Your existence truly is something else

So, you say that you would resign earlier in their place, if you had such a hopeless position.

That's how it's done. He ran out of time and made a mistake. He still had mate in 2 but he knew the following:

- i had 5 minutes on my clock

- i thought for 20 seconds about my move, after previously playing very fast to run down his clock.

- i knew he was trying to set up mate, so i was going to stop it

- presumably he recognized i'm not such an awful player i was going to lose or stalemate, given all of the above

so he chose to resign. with class.
