yeah. we're working on this :)
does it matter, since you said you were not trying to gain
points by doing this.
I am here to play competitive but friendly games. I just think those kinds of tactics should be discouraged. It isn't about the points, but it's happened a few times and it is frusterating that players like that can continue to play like this. I know the system isn't foolproof but I am just expressing a concern to improve it.
When I started playing here it was the first time I got in contact with turnbased (or correspondence) chess. I were not familiar with this kind of format and I suppose I expected something similar to live chess. After 6 completed games I decided that I am not interested in completing my (then) current games, 9 of them. I resigned all nine out right. I suspect this is what might happen in a some cases, people don't understand this format of chess and lose interest after a while and then just leave (without resigning) or they might simply forget to come back and complete their games....
After a few weeks I decided to give this format another go, and have since completed a few games but I still prefer live chess.
Hey, I've played a few games where I will take a big piece, such as a rook, within the first few moves, and the play will let the game stall on time, and the rating is not affected. I don't care about gaining points off such a poor victory, but I think the other player should some how be deducted. Is there anything I can do when someone does that?
