Claiming a timeout win against a top player

So I've made the decision. Always skull.

If he is a top player? Always skull.
If it is a female player? Always skull.
If he is young player? Always skull.
If he is Swedish (as I am)? Always skull.
All of the above? Always skull.

You have chosen wisely.

Mercy is for the weak.

Thank you, but I'm not sure if it is wise, it's just within the rules.

Same thing with snatching a queen from the opponent. No mercy.
Or using the rule of stalemate in a lost situation. No mercy.

Chess is war, you are suppost to struggle for a win. What's the fun to win morally when you die?

I have never whined when I have lost, never. Whining is for the weak.

Would you claim the win against one of the top players, or somebody significantly higher rated than you, even if they told you beforehand that they would be away for a while?

Oh God yes and I'd laugh insanely while clicking the skull. It'd be better than sex.

If they went to the trouble to actually explain their absence, then no. Otherwise, yes. Just me, though.
