Daily Chess - Players Don’t Make Moves

Sort:
K3lr4

Hello,

there’s something that’s really bothering me at the moment.

I mostly play daily chess. However, I keep encountering players who, if they make a move at all, only make one or two moves and then let the time run out.

I have absolute understanding for players who take the full time to think, but players who don’t play at all, despite accepting a game, are just wasting my time. I could be playing against people who actually want to play.

Is there a way to report these unsportsmanlike players and/or have them banned? They really ruin the fun of the game.

Best,
Kelra.

Some players sign up for daily games not really understanding what they are. They'll play a few moves and then lose interest and never play daily again.

The site isn't going to ban members for that

I am not talking about the newbees, at least not just them.

But I had a lot of players with several hundreds or thousands of games played here.

You can't tell me that they don't know what daily games are. At least they could resign if the started the game by accident

Games without at least 4 moves by both players are not rated in Daily so there's not a resign option outside tournaments, just aborts
