In my opinion, calling someone a "dick" is unsportsmanlike; how old are you -- 13? I've done nothing to violate the rules, nor have I bent them to my advantage. If your game where already won, then it would already be over.
As you know, in chess, many games are won before they are concluded. I would never begrudge an opponent for playing on and continuing the fight. After all anything can happen especially when you are the better player overall. However, I begin to wonder about that person's integrity and sportsmanship when they do so at a "radically" slower pace than what they had demonstrated before.
And yes I think that someone who would intentionally delay a game that they are losing just because they can is being a "dick". If you're not engaged in doing this then you shouldn't take my stance personally.

I find the practice of wishing your opponent "good luck" rather absurd. Like anyone really wishes that their opponent will win.
I agree with people that hastening or artificial(mind!) lengthening is an annoyance. And yes it's not illegal.

I always say hello, even in 1 minute blitz. (I never have enough time and am so stressed I loose queens and rooks 🙄)

I have to say that since starting here that I have had nothing but kind messages and some chat with some interesting and nice people. I enjoy this site and would like to thank all my opponents for putting up with my appalling chess in such a grascious way!

Originally posted by PhlabibitI don't believe you actually wish your opponent good luck in kicking your butt, and mean it, unless you fall into that group of people who like that kind of thing. 😛 I hadn't thought about that part ! 🙂
If I'm going to play against a computer, I'll need to set it on a level where the computer is not playing it's best for me to have any chance to win. If I play a human, it's just me against them.
Good luck, and Good game are just nice things you should say. When I say this, I mean it. I enjoy games and I know every game has a winner and a loser... I ...[text shortened]... for the love of the game and doesn't resort to cheating so they can win more often.
